The Joy of Cycling: An Inspired Collection Of Quotations For The Urban, Sport & Recreational Cyclist
$12.50US/$15.00 CAN
This is definitely a book you might get as a gift for someone you know who is a rabid cyclist. It is one of those books that is definitely not for sit down reading but is more like a coffee table book or one that you would leave in your bookcase and pull out when you need a quotation. That is not to say it isn't good, because it is. And the wisdom applies to all walks of life.
The book is divided up into seven chapters. The introduction. A mechanical Work of Art, Freedom of Movement, Perseverance, A Simple Joy, Journey of Wellness and the Conclusion. Using a bicycle is like using a little bit of heaven. You ride carefree through the wind and the streets just moving so fast. When there is no traffic out is is the best!!!
Here is a good quote: "It doesn't matter if you're sprinting for an Olympic gold medal, a town sign, a trailhead or the rest stop with the homemade brownies. If you never confront pain, you're missing the essence of the sport."-Scott Martin
"With humans it is like the bicycle. Only when we are movin can we easily keep balanced."-Albert Einstein
"Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike".-John F. Kennedy
""A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." I really hate this expression. I bet fish would really want bicycles."-Meg Cabot
As you can tell there are so many famous people who gave expressions about cycling. This is a great book. I have a friend who is into cycling and this book is going straight to her as a form of therapy. It can be purchased online at www.amazon.com for $12.50 or www.barnesandnoble.com or at their stores.
Until Next Time~
