    Here's a few sayings I came across lately. Any one have anymore?


    Life is like riding a bike. In order to keep your balance, you have to keep moving.

    All bikes weigh 40 lbs. A 30 lb bike has a 10 lb lock, a 20 lb bike has a 20 lb lock and a 40 lb bike doesn't need a lock.

    Wind is never on your side. It's either against you or you're having a good day.

    There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to go workout at the gym.



    Cheers

    Hills and uneven terrain disrupted my cadence during the peddling portion, humbling me repeatedly. But 5 miles into the last part of the journey in the thick of the summer heat, as I watched my goals slide away with my sweat, I salvage some dignity. There is honor in finishing what you start, I remind myself-no matter what happens along the way-even when the only prize is a hard lesson. Today I faced pain and failure and redefined them. I did the best I could. And that tells me everything I need to know about myself.

    Weekends are like recess for adults so play hard until the bell rings

    Start big you'll only want more....


    Happy, friendly people that may not be the best athletes are more fun than arrogant "experts".


    I know the floor is hard, but I still re-assure myself every once in a while!!!!!

    I'm sarcastic...what's your superpower?

    " DROP A GEAR AND DISAPPEAR "

    Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere

    Ride it like you stole it!

    Four wheels move the body; two wheels move the soul.

    I'm down for going up but more up for going down.

    The sun is shining, the weather is sweet.
    Make u want to move ur (biking) feet.

    " Hesitation Killed the Rider!"


    just doing it, even on a bad day, is what will set you apart from the rest

    "I once met three guys named pain, suffering and sacrifice. Now, we're inseperable. We're best friends"

    Train hard. Race easy.

    Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs!

    Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... that's what gets you

    No, my religion doesn't require a blood sacrifice to mother Earth on each ride, but I understand how you might make that assumption...

    "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshit."

    Pay attention. You ride down a road. You rode your bike today

    Black top SUX

    Respect the Mountain...mother nature can take ya ASS OUT

    okay...i'll play, dean. it's maxwell's arm and he crashed. because he can't help it. it's destiny."

    'Obsessed' is a word that the lazy use to describe the dedicated

    "Oh man, my bikes broken again"
    "what's wrong with it now?"
    "I think it needs a new rider"
    "That sounds expensive..."

    here's one...

    Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for life. Teach a man to ride a bike and he will realize how stupid and boring fishing is.

    Desmond Tutu from the book: Bike Snob. Btw, great read if you haven't already.
