Bicycle Tires

Famous quotes containing the words bicycle and/or tires:

    “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 truth is, this being errand boy to one hundred and fifty thousand people tires me so by night I am ready for bed instead of soirees.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
