• 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.

• Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel.
