“I don't run the triathlons anymore like I used to. I do leg work on the machines and do the bike. I'm not as strong as I used to be, but I'm still good.” StillsRunningUsedStrongMachinesLegsUsed To BeBikeTriathlon Author:Pat Bowlen
“When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle.” MenShouldPhilosophyBodyUsedHealingBrainProgressProductsBalanceShould HaveMachinesHarmInventionCyclesBikeBeneficialConvenienceTouringBicycleAttainmentPrecisionCyclingIrritationBikingCyclistsTandemTandem BikesTandem Bicycles Author:Elizabeth West

“I am so pathetic with machines in real life, it's not a joke. I'd rather walk, or even run, than take the car out myself. I like to be driven around. Yes, I like fancy cars, and fancy bikes, too. It's my dream to learn how to ride one myself, but for now, I am content being driven around.” RealDreamRunningWalksCarJokesMachinesDrivenReal LifeFancyBikePatheticFancy Cars Author:Bipasha Basu
“One thing I loved about New Zealand was the indoor/outdoor lifestyle of the place. I remember going from Xboxing, jamming out on guitars and drum machines in my buddy's apartment, to a bike ride through the parks and up and down the streets all over the city, to the ocean, right into the water. I remember we were swimming outer ways and we got to a certain place where we wanted to see - or I wanted to see - how deep the water was.” WayWantedRememberCertainWaterCitiesOne ThingStreetsOceanMachinesGuitarLifestyleParksSwimmingApartmentBikeUp And DownBuddyNew Zealand Author:Gabriel Mann

“In Mendrisio I felt it - the exhilaration of what the bike has to offer. It's a simple machine that conjures a vast mix of emotions. It can evoke the senses and raise the spirits of people who watch. For those who ride it can seem like the perfect vehicle for transport. For those who race, there's no better sensation than being on top of your gear making mountains feel like flat roads. Cycling throws up plenty of obstacles, unknown territory, high speed split-second considerations. Where to next? What's around the next corner? Who cares?

“A 'death mirror' held up to American culture - Brando, bikes and black leather; Christ, chains and cocaine. A 'high' view of the myth of the American motorcyclist.
