I find buying a bicycle is a great way to stay in touch with people.
Cycling is not rocket science.
I ride a bicycle daily in London and have done for many years.
What I have learned about the sport of cycling is that you have to love it to do it because you're not going to retire off of it.
Hopefully I've shown them (fellow cyclists) you just need some self-belief and that you need to take your destiny into your own hands instead of waiting for it. You have to go out and force it. You need to go out and take life, and shape your life and destiny the way you need it. I hope I can pass that message along.
Bike is the most democratic transport vehicle. Bike is the most daring, challenging as it gives its owner the tempting feeling of freedom, that is why one can say without any exaggeration, bike is a symbol of freedom
My mum was my inspiration. As cliche as that sounds, she was the reason that we started. She chose cycling to lose weight. I was only eight at the time, so I just followed what my mum did.
I cycled when I was at high school, then reconnected with bikes in New York in the late '70s. It was a good way of getting around the clubs and galleries of the Lower East Side and Soho.
I want to tell the world of cycling to please join me in telling Pat McQuaid to resign. I have never seen such an abuse of power in cycling's history - resign, Pat, if you love cycling. Resign even if you hate the sport.
I symbolized doping... My phone rarely rings. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of riders who call me.
It's a great feeling when someone like Bernard Hinault comes up to you on the podium to say 'Welcome to the club
When I first started out in cycling, if there were two girls there, that was successful; but now, if there are 20 girls there, it's just unbelievable. The growth of the sport is just incredible.
Cycling is a sport of the open road and spectators are lining that road.
I rode a bike around town when I was a kid, with my friends, but I never got into cycling as a sport or activity. But, it is really pleasant. It's really nice to hit the mountains with all the trees and everything. I get it.
I think racing and riding are two different elements of cycling. You either want to or not depending on what you want to get out of it.
The best way for women to get into cycling is to go out in a group, to feel like you're part of it.
Usually, the great thing about cycling is that anybody can watch it; it's very accessible.
Twenty-thirteen was the year I got super into SoulCycle.
The beautiful thing about cycling is that it is so accessible and that pleased me when I was younger because you felt like you could almost touch the athletes.
Everyone in the world of cycling knows how much it is a team sport as well as individual. It's just amazing to be a part of.
Cycling has been my passion throughout my life.
In the past, when I saw bike messengers, I would just see them as individuals. Then, I realized that they're all tied together.
Cycling is a part of my life; it always has been, and I will always continue to cycle. I won't be doing it on the world stage, doing it competitively, but I'll still be out on the weekend with the masses riding around Richmond Park in my Team Sky jersey or whatever. I just love it.
Cyclists are insane. You're going through the Alps, climbing up mountains. There's this circus around them. They're so tough. When they have a day off, they go out and cycle 100 miles.
What matters is ultimately what collectively those people on the street - whether that's the cycling community, the cancer community - it matters what they think.
