“Keep calm and ride on”
“Toe overlap is not the end of the world, unless you crash and die – then it is.” –Skip Bernet
“As magical as a shiny new set of wheels can be, any old bike can still get you where you need to go as long as you can ride it” –Kathleen Wilker
“Wearing a fluorescent jacket doesn’t mean that you no longer need to look where you are going.” –road.cc
Another problem with dangerous cycling being seen as the norm is that inexperienced cyclists may think that breaking road rules is a prerequisite to being taken ‘seriously’.
“I suggest the following: we are all real cyclists, no matter why we are doing it.”–Mia Birk
“I ride my bicycle in a sideways world
keeping my balance while the cars pass overhead…” –Jason Crane
“…most of our cycling just isn’t all that exciting. It’s generally very pleasant but not worth reporting on frequently. Its the everyday stuff we do all the time, ride to school, ride home, ride to swimming, ride to the shops, ride to friend’s houses… you get the picture.” –faithh
“Every bike salmon constitutes an utterly gratuitous confrontation and escalation in the war between bicyclists and motorists.” –Felix Salmon
“Was almost run over by a Right To Lifer, that could have potentially been ironic.” –@rosewal (Twitter)
