Bicycle Adventure Quotes

“Bicycling unites physical harmony coupled with emotional bliss to create a sense of spiritual perfection that combines one’s body, mind and spirit into a single moving entity. Bicycling allows a person to mesh with the sun, sky and road as if nothing else mattered in the world. In fact, all your worries, cares and troubles vanish in the rear view mirror while you bicycle along the byways of the world: you pedal as one with the universe." ~ Frosty Wooldridge”

“A bicycle journey through life enhances a person’s body, mind and spirit. Each encounter creates an opening for intellectual growth. A bicycle journey promotes exceptional fitness. Two-wheeled travel offers spiritual lifts in ways unexplainable. On a bicycle, you know you live on the edge, at the peak and into the thrust of life. You live it because you choose it. Or, it chooses you and you accept the opportunity. Thus, you command your life.” Frosty Wooldridge-- Bicycling Around the World--Tire Tracks for Your Imagination”

“For me as a spouse of a husband who is sexually competent, this is a big issue for me. Not because I desire sex, but because he does.
He has become like a child in many ways. Yet, even as his abilities and personality diminish, he still wants us to act like we always have as husband and wife.”

“Ride A Bike (The Sonnet)

Ride a bike 'n you get sick less,
You pay for the doctor less.
Ride a bike 'n you emit carbon less,
You pay for the gas less.
Ride a bike 'n you release endorphins,
Hence you have less stress.
Ride a bike 'n the heart pumps better,
Thus you feel exhaustion less.
Pills in need are pills indeed,
To pop pills willy-nilly is to abuse health.
Comfort in need is comfort indeed,
To abuse comfort beyond need is to abuse oneself.
Ride a bike everyday to keep the pills away.
Use pills in need but don't make them life's way.”

“برای جوان های معمولی هم دوچرخه وسیله ی بسیار سرگرم کننده ای است تا چه رسد به پسرک بینوایی چون من که تا همان اواخر می لنگیدم و هنوز سه چهار کیلومتر نرفته خیس عرق می شدم!... چه لذتی از شیب تپه ها به شتاب پایین رفتن و در ژرفاهای چشم انداز گم شدن؛ به تیزی پرنده ای به دور دستهای جاده ای رسیدن که با نزدیک شدنت از هم باز و شکوفان می شود؛ دهکده ای را در یک چشم به هم زدن پشت سر گذاشتن و همه چیزش را به یک نگاه از آن خود کردن و بردن...”

“Ruby paused a moment. “I’m thinking…What would you say about taking a bicycle trip? I’m talking about a real adventure. Maybe a week or more.”
Dot’s eyes shone in the darkness. She was interested. “Where?”
I don’t know, maybe Cape Breton, or New Brunswick, or even P.E.I.? What do you think?
“Craz-ee! If you mean Charlottetown then I vote for P.E.I. I’ve always wanted to see Don Messer perform. It would be a dream come true. That would be magic for me, Ruby. I’d go to P.E.I. just to see him. Do you suppose-?”
“That’s just what I was thinking, Dot. We’ve thought about it off and on for long enough. It’s time to do something about actually seeing his show,” interrupted Ruby with a twinkle in her eye.
The thought of watching the fiddler, Don Messer and his famous band perform live, excited her too. They all liked his music and often listened to his Sunday afternoon broadcasts between church services.”

“The journey from start to finish would involve over four hundred miles of bicycling. Eventually they decided on a daily jaunt of fifty miles, more or less- a goal that would see them complete the adventure in ten days.”
