The bicycle saves my life every day. If you've ever experienced a moment of awe or freedom on a bicycle; if you've ever taken flight from sadness to the rhythm of two spinning wheels, or felt the resurgence of hope pedalling to the top of a hill with the dew of effort on your forehead; if you've ever wondered, swooping down bird-like down a long hill, if the world was standing still; if you have ever, just once, sat on a bicycle with a singing heart and felt like an ordinary human touching the gods, then we share something fundamental. We know it's all about the bike. Robert Penn
About This Quote

The bicycle is an amazing invention. It has allowed people to have fun and skate through life without having to worry about getting tired or being exhausted. It has also allowed people to go places that they would otherwise never be able to get to. Not only does the bicycle help us get around, but it also gives us a sense of freedom that we have never experienced before.

We have all felt that sense of freedom when we are riding our bicycles. The feel of the wind in our hair, the sun on our faces, the rush of power as we go down hills—all these things make us feel alive. There is no greater feeling than being free to ride along, knowing that you are able to take care of yourself any way you choose.
