Ride hard!

As you may know I am a full time cycle commuter, which definitely has it's plusses and minus. Plus - not paying for gas and insurance. Minus - having a photoshoot on the other side of town and lugging 30+ pounds of gear on your back on a fixie.

Here are a few great cycling quotes I picked up from the BikeSnobNYC blog, a very entertaining must read even for the most casual cyclist.

"The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets." --Christopher Morley

"When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race." --H.G. Wells

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle." --Ernest Hemingway


peace!
