Bike Quotations | Page 2

You don't need to ride a sport bike like you?re on a track on the street. They're very tractable, they're good bikes to ride on the street, but the full performance is really appropriate for closed circuit kinds of opportunities.

I like to read and write and take pictures and bike.

We did a race simulation, and it was pretty good. The only other thing we could have done is make the long run at lunchtime, instead of a quarter past four, when the track was colder and the grip level is not so hot. It took two whole days to work through everything we had to test here, but it was OK, and we put together the best bike we could. I think we have really good info from here and we can even improve the bike again before we even start. We've had a good test.

There is a bike for everyone. There are bikes for just about every specific need, even hand-pedaling bikes. You just have to find the correct bike for the rider.

To be on the (stationary) bike every day, sometimes twice a day, and just being skated without pucks for five weeks, six weeks, that (expletive) is for the birds.

There are lots of old bikers and lots of new bikers. For some people, they bought a bike for the first time this year.

With our configuration, when a fire truck comes along, the cars in the one through lane can move into the bike lane.

When we start, we start them with a very flat roller and therefore the bike will virtually stay up on its own.

When she kicked him he didn't have the opportunity to take the bike or the juvenile. We can't assume which he was going to do but either way it's a bad scenario, and we want to make the community aware that this did occur so they're aware of their surroundings.

The recumbent bike works your large muscle groups to start the blood flowing and get prepared for the task at hand.

We will be building the infrastructure of the park and taking care of the bike paths,

We had a few things to test today and every step we made seemed to take us in a positive direction, so I couldn't be happier really. The bike is getting better and better and we just keep improving so that is all I can ask for.

To hike down here or mountain bike down here -- you get solitude; you get the place to yourself.

The problem for bike riders, joggers and hikers in the wilderness is that the mountain lion has its own habitat.

We chose this cause because it happened during the Tour of Spain and it was in the papers at the same time as Roberto's victory. This isn't a replica, it is the actual bike Roberto rode and so it is a real collector's piece. I hope that someone will pay in the region of 50 000 euros for it.

You get a lot of traction with the screws (on the bike wheels) It's fast, I've done 57 miles an hour on the four wheeler. It's a very dangerous sport. I saw some boy's back get all ripped up - because of the screws.

Boulder has a lot wider and smoother bike paths, and there are less bridges on the bike paths.

Everything felt really good today with the bike and the grip,

Bike Week is just a good time for everybody to get together and let loose. It used to be that bikers had a bad stigma, and now they're you're next-door neighbor.

Bike riding requires permanent sacrifice. It means training 11 months out of 12 and 110 days of racing, whatever the weather conditions. Early in life, I realised I did not have intellectual potential, so I dedicated myself to cycling.

Everyone will be gunning for him. He'll be a marked man; he'll have a big 'X' on his back. People will watch his every move. There's no way he'll have a 24-minute lead on the bike (like last year against Reid).

As this case makes its way through the criminal justice system I would like everyone to remember that this is actually about a girl named Jill who went for a bike ride and never came home.

Don't take for granted on that first look that there's not a bike there because there can be and basically we're telling them to look twice because no one wants to get hit. No one wants to get killed.

(Cycling) is your first freedom. It is your first independence. I still feel that way when I get on my bike today.

Customizing is anything you do to a bike to make it your own. Some of it's done at the dealership using stock parts, and some of it's done by one-of-a-kind builders, who just do built-to-order bikes. That gets into the very high end of the business.

There was a German biker magazine that offered a complete package to visit the races and Bike Week.

The Tour de France is not the only bike race in the world, but it is the biggest, so the possibility could still exist to do a Tour of Italy, a Tour of Spain.

I started out doing triathlons because they terrified me! I'm a good swimmer, I learned to ride a bike in college, and I hate running. It seemed like something I could never do, so I decided, 'I'm gonna do it.'

I used to ride my bike around at night, and I decided I'd stop until they figure this out. I stick to lighted roads now.

It would be a very nice way to commute, to be able to bike through the upper part of the George Washington Parkway,

It was all dirt bikes. I was a dirt bike rider at the time, and it was about things I related to.

Running, I do about 2 miles everyday and then I will ride my bike a couple of times a week.

San Francisco is a classic bike town, and it is beloved by everybody. In our online reader poll, more readers chose San Francisco than any other city but Portland. There is a culture of cycling ? there are bike clubs, there's the messenger culture and there are long-standing community activities centered around cycling.

put the investment into transit and bike paths, into walking and buses, and allowing people to live downtown as well as just work and shop there.

On this (latest) farm he also set a brand-new quad bike alight. He stole a firearm,

One guy riding by on his bike just asked if I'd sell him my tickets.

One day when I was 16, I rode my bike to the nearby DMV office to get my driver's permit. Some of my friends already had their licenses, so I figured it was time. But when I handed the clerk my green card as proof of U.S. residency, she flipped it around, examining it. 'This is fake,' she whispered. 'Don't come back here again.'

Definitely it was quite fun. When it?s like that, the bike?s working, the bike has got grip, and the lap comes together, it?s a lot of fun to ride the bike like that. Really enjoyed it.

Compared to yesterday the front-end was in bad state. During the race I felt some vibration and the bike didn't allow me to ride well. Then all of a sudden the bike switched off and that's when my race ended.

Compared to yesterday the front end was in bad condition. During the race I felt vibration and the bike didn't allow me to ride well. Then all of a sudden the bike switched off and that's when my race ended. The only thing we can do is to analyse the data to find the problem. This is a weekend to put in the archive and hope for a better performance at Phillip Island where I finished eighth last year.

Any place a mountain bike can go, a mountain unicycle can go.

Approximately 1.3 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer this year. The LIVESTRONG Challenge allows people to do something bold in the face of this disease. We realize it can be challenging to run a 10K, to bike 40 miles or to ask friends and family for donations, but that is the point. We want participants to challenge themselves and their friends and families to make a difference for cancer survivors. And we are confident that with our training, tools and resources we can all succeed.

You've really got to be on your bike for this game.

This is an incredible race for spectators because you basically can see the athletes seven times from vantage points at Lovers Point. From there, you'll be able to watch two loops of the swim, four loops of the bike race and three loops of the run. That's one of the greatest aspects of this event.

This is a transition year, not in terms of being competitive but in going from being Lance's team to being a team without Lance. The goals will remain unchanged. Even without Lance, when I look at the guys here, we have a lot of good bike riders.

This is really cool being in the video and hopefully it'll be seen by the people who need it the most and they'll realize that they can have a bike and do everything everyone else does, just safely. I've been riding for 15 years and have had one accident where I peeled the skin off my entire right side. I hope everyone who sees this video will notice that we are all wearing ballistic jackets and all the protective gear we can because it might just save their lives.

This guy pretended to date me and to prove it to his friend Michael, persuaded me to go for a bike ride where conveniently Mike would be.

A majority of us feel that the bike race is a great idea, but that it would be better for business to have it on a Sunday.

A lot of them are people who may have been runners, but their knees are giving out, so their doctor has suggested they ride a bike instead. Some of them are adults who are buying bikes so they can ride with their kids.

A lot of people made fun of me. They said, 'Nice bike lift.' I knew exactly what this bike would look like before I even bought one part.

They are bike enthusiasts themselves and are very persnickety about their work.

A terrible weekend in the office, but at least in the second race we had the bike a lot better. We made a bit of a mess on Friday so we had to catch up all weekend. Even though it was a crash from someone else that took me out of race two, I can walk away confident for the next few. The bike is a lot better now so we can do it for sure.

(Assistant coach) Phil Crowe got him on the bike when he was injured, and (Adams) came back 100 percent better than before. I don't think he was in the shape that we want Colorado Eagles hockey players to be in when he first got here.

It's a shame we haven't had more time to test the new bike - in the end I only managed four laps with it. That's why it seems a little early for me to comment on its performance, but it is clear that Honda are making a big effort.

It's a travelogue for the cities. Some of the cities realize the importance of it to promote the city, not so much a bike race.

I try to get seven hours of sleep every night; I always walk or bike to work; I make a point to eat well and take my vitamins; I drink tons of water; and I always spend a portion of my day at a standing desk.

It's a weekend course. It's usually a Friday night, all-day Saturday and half-day Sunday deal. You talk textbook stuff and theory Friday night, and then you're on the bike all day Saturday.

It's about Lance and his story. It's not about how many people watch the bike race. His endorsement value gets a lift if he wins five in a row, but I don't think he's hurt if he doesn't win. It'd be really great if as many people watch the tour as watch the Super Bowl but that's not going to happen.

It's a good excuse for a bike ride.

It's a dream scenario for me, ... Now that President Bush doesn't run anymore, he rides his mountain bike fanatically. People wonder why he's stays at the ranch so long, it might be the mountain bike trails.

It's a fantastic track and if the bike is okay it's a great pleasure to ride.

It's all about riding. Everyone wants to know if it's hard. 'How do you do that?' You don't just learn it overnight. You don't learn how to ride a bike overnight. It took me some time to ride this, but it was worth it.

It's true. I'm a simple person. Some people tend to live from trauma to trauma, and that energizes them. I have a hectic schedule, but my mind seeks simplicity - like being in nature, a long bike ride, or sitting on the back porch.

For instance, he had a show at the Brooklyn Museum. An opening would have been the start of a career for many artists. Instead of going, he hopped on his bike and cycled off and got on a plane and went to China.

Ford's commitment to the Ford Tour de Georgia is an essential element in the growth of both the event itself and the sport of cycling in the United States. Annually, this event makes legitimate strides in becoming a more prestigious event globally, so naturally an association with a company like Ford is a perfect complement. Their continued support to cycling projects like the Ford Tour de Georgia, as well as an elite-level women's mountain bike team Ford Cycling, represents a significant dedication to our sport.

Follow the rules: Don't ride your bike on the sidewalk. We want people to be able to get to where they're going safely.

For a lot of low-income people, a bike is their only transportation, especially with the price of gas these days. This would be a lot of money for them. Sometimes people are wearing a helmet, and they get hurt anyway.

Then, this guy cuts me off in the rain and I put the bike down, cut up my jeans, scraped up the bike and rode home.

It's the sort of performance you can get out of a sport bike at under $10,000. You would have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a car to get that sort of quickness, that sort of top speed.

It makes life a lot easier to ride your bike when you have to park way down at the Coliseum like I do.

It's unbelievably freakish. It's an absolute tragedy. You're always worried about getting into a bike wreck, about getting hit by a car, but nobody would think about a tree falling on you. That's the last thing you would think of.

Then the first day I put the bike clothes back on, Luke was like, 'What are you doing? I thought you quit your job.' Then I came back an hour later all bloody and he thought that was the coolest thing.

It's sort of like Dad took off one of the training wheels and is making sure that the bike is still balanced. And here we are, we're going to try and keep the bike on a clear path.

It's so incredibly special. Children come to swim, bike and run and leaving feeling confident and having had a good time. They also leave knowing that people care about making the world just a little bit better and they're a part of it.

It's silly. If someone was going to build a bike into a pipe bomb, they wouldn't label it.

The bike gives me a good feeling. Also the engine is very smooth in acceleration so I'm happy. And it's just the first day, we have another two days and we hope to do good work.

It was no good really. I struggled from beginning to end. Something is wrong with the bike and we daren't change to the second, as we hadn't run that other one yet. So to say I am disappointed is an understatement. Every time I entered a corner, right or left, it was chattering, and I was so sideways. It has to be the bike, because James and I have such a similar race set-up, it's just not funny.

It took me a while to get going in the swim. After the second buoy I was strong. I struggled on the bike because this was only my second race of the year. But the run went really well. I got to the turnaround and found another gear.

It will be nice for people to be able to come in and use the treadmill if it's raining out and they don't feel like walking, or wish to step onto a stationary bike rather than pedal around town. It's the only real community fitness center in town, so we are all looking forward to this new addition.

It was great, a very good experience to really get into that element where you just train among other cyclists of same or better caliber and with a coach. I actually learned to spend time on the bike - a lot of miles, a lot of long hours. I've always heard Chris saying that to become a better rider, you have to spend a lot of time on the bike. I had a week to experience it - riding up to eight hours a day - four in the morning and four in the afternoon.

It was a flat bike on a four-lane freeway along the waterfront and we worked well in a loose cover with quite a big group.

It was a fantastic race and my best race of the year by far. It was a battle between great riders and it was fantastic to win like this. I would like to say thank you to my team because the bike was very, very fast.

It's not been a position he's been playing a lot in pro ball, so I wouldn't say it's a given that you pick it right back up, but once you get on a bike you still know how to ride it, I would think. He's looked pretty smooth the couple of times he's been behind the plate for me.

The midget, ... the first time he rode the bike that he comes out on, he just gassed it, man. He pulled an Evel Knievel off the front of the stage. It was pretty crazy.

I like Brno, Motegi, Sepang, Qatar... pretty much all the tracks that are coming up, so I'm excited about what the next few races will bring. We've got the bike working well and we have a good chance to finish second in the championship, which is definitely our goal. Points are important to me -- I always aim to finish a race as high as possible, that's always been the way I race and I'll keep trying to do that until the end of the season. At the same time it would be great to win a race...so I'm going to try for both!

I initially thought there was a mechanical failure or something to that effect but the guys are looking over the bike now and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. I had hit my head pretty hard when I got thrown down.

I love kite surfing and mountain bike riding. It's kind of interesting; my kite surfing ability has probably deteriorated with the rate of Kaggle's success.

I love exercise. Prior to learning about mountain biking, I was a jogger. And then, like a lot of baby boomers, my knees gave out. I believe that mountain biking is going to be an outlet for a lot of people my age. I'm 59, and people are going to realize you get as much aerobic exercise - if not more - on the mountain bike without being hobbled.

I never expected to get a podium at our first race back. I hadn't seen the bike before practice on Thursday, and it has taken all weekend to get back in the groove. But thanks to Adolf and the team for helping Phil and I get back into the championship, and we're now looking forward to Assen.

I'm looking forward to this end part of the season, ... Riding the bike in Japan for a factory Honda rider is a real honour. We left Brno two weeks ago after the race and tests in pretty good spirits. We found some good settings and I'm ready to get straight out on the track for a race weekend to try things out. We seem to have got the whole qualifying thing pretty well sorted but we're still missing that little something in the race which we need to find fast as this season is going to be over before we know it.

I'm happy with my performance. The bike set-up was good and the track too was much better than what it was yesterday.

I'm back on my bike and in the gym doing weight training so I'm pretty confident I'll be playing again at the beginning of January.

If people want bike and pedestrian facilities, they need to ask for them.

I just thought it sounded like a neat way to see the country. At one point I thought about riding my bike across the country, but it hadn't worked out.

I know a lot of people who own properties here who come in only for Bike Week.

I probably made the best race start of my whole life, Valentino got away well too and we went together into the first bend. Elias came up on the inside and I actually saw everything happen but to be honest I thought Vale would be able to stay on the bike so I kept my corner speed and tried to just run it around the outside.

If you say anything about what just happened, I'll find out where you live and kill you. He told me to go home. I said, 'OK' and got on my bike and went home.

I guess what I like most about NY is that it feels like home to me. I was born here in 1977 and have lived here, on and off, my whole life. I feel very connected to NY. I love how much it has to offer, though it still feels small and cozy. There are so many amazing things to see here: incredible art, just about every film, amazing music, all kinds of interesting people. I like to ride my bike on the Hudson River . I like that I can walk my dog around two blocks and he meets about 20 other dogs to play with. I like that I can get a turkey sandwich at 4 in the morning if I want to. A beautiful night out in NYC can be any night because anything can happen. It is spontaneous and surprises you all the time.

Camera bags attract too much attention. I use a regular bike messenger bag. I also think about the picture before I take it. I don't compose my shots through the viewfinder, so I'm not keeping my camera visible for long.

But if you ride your bike a mile away, she is not gonna find you.
