Why exercise?

He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything

Don’t let your age control your lifestyle, let your lifestyle control your age

Suck it up and one day you won’t have to suck it in

Why cycle?

‘When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road without thought on anything but the ride you are taking’ – Arthur Conan-Doyle

‘Life is like riding a bicycle. In order to keep your balance, you must keep moving’ – Albert Einstein

‘Bicycles are almost as good as guitars for meeting girls’ – Bob Weir (Grateful Dead)

‘I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again’ – Michelle Pfeiffer

‘Cycle all day and not only will you see, hear, smell, and feel the world around you but you will burn thousands of calories and be able to eat as much of whatever you want’ – Nick Pannaman
