“Canadian comedian, Emo Phillips, said he used to pray every night for a bike until he realised that the Lord doesn’t always work that way, so he stole one and then prayed for forgiveness.”

“Ernest Hemingway said cycling was the best way to learn a country’s contours because you physically experience them – you sweat up the hills and there’s the sheer joy of coasting down the other side.”

“The site on which the Cité stands has been occupied for 2 500 years and it commands a view of a countryside that has witnessed the most terrible Middle Age atrocities. Muslims massacred people who did not believe in Mohammed; Catholics slaughtered people who didn’t believe in Christ and then they fell upon even those who did. In nearby Béziers, Catholics murdered non-Catholics and, on a productive day, if everybody skipped lunch, they were able to kill up to 20 000 people. When they reported to the Pope’s emissary that they found they had, by mistake, killed Catholics he told them to carry on because God would sort them out at the other end.”
