The bicycle was invented over one-hundred years ago and is still one of the most efficient and healthy ways to get around. Over the years, the bike has been praised for its carbon-free usage, its simplicity, and even its aesthetics. For me though, nothing can trump the freedom you experience riding a bicycle. In celebration of these ideals, I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite quotes about the bicycle. Enjoy and keep on pedaling!
