Famous quotes containing the words bicycle, road and/or race:
“I well recall my horror when I heard for the first time, of a journalist who had laid in a pair of what were then called bicycle pants and taken to golf; it was as if I had encountered a studhorse with his hair done up in frizzes, and pink bowknots peeking out of them. It seemed, in some vague way, ignominious, and even a bit indelicate.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The road became a channel running flocks
Of glossy birds like ripples over rocks.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The Goddamn human race deserves itself, and as far as I’m concerned it can have it.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
