Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.
Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to work out in a gym.
It doesn't matter if you ride a $30 bike or a $3000 bike. If you're having fun, you're doing it right.
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.
