“Some cyclists are complete prats, obviously, but so are some drivers. So are some fishmongers and accountants, for that matter. Being a prat is a state of mind and not transport-specific. It’s not the bicycle’s fault.”–James May

“…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

“We believe that the benefits of cycling as part of the transport mix are not being fully realised because of poor public policy…there are major benefits to the City that are not being realised (less congested roads and public transport; less air pollution; lower carbon emissions; lower public health costs; quieter, safer roads and a more pleasant public realm).” –Melbourne City Bicycle Rider

“I noticed that I woke up each day energized and ready to go. I noticed that I was still sharp and productive throughout the day and into the night. I noticed a transition from being tired after riding… to being tired if I didn’t ride! It was at that point that I ‘discovered’ pedalocity.” –Michael Sicurello, Well On Earth

“Every now and then, someone takes a potshot at bicyclists and bicycling. Sometimes it’s a politician; other times a shock jock. Whoever it is, and whatever their motivation, we don’t like it!” –The League of American Cyclists

“I might be showing my age, but when I was a kid, we all biked to school, to sports, to play with friends – almost everywhere, really.” –Jill Merrin in the Illawarra Mercury
