When you're a kid, all you really care about are Slurpees and Slip N Slide and riding your bike, and that's what I did.
When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.
Do you know how sometimes - when you are riding your bike and you start skidding across sand, or when you miss a step and start tumbling down the stairs - you have those long, long seconds to know that you are going to be hurt, and badly?
I think I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
The answer is hard work. What are you doing on Christmas Eve? Are you riding your bike? January 1st - are you riding your bike?
I always go to bed thinking I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
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.
Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live.
Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride.
If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.
