Cycling Shoes

Famous quotes containing the words cycling and/or shoes:

“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
