Famous quotes containing the words track and/or cycling:
“He who rides and keeps the beaten track studies the fences chiefly.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
