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)

“Englishwomen’s shoes look as if they had been made by someone who had often heard shoes described, but had never seen any.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
