I came across this quote in August of 2007 and immediately sent it to my husband. Two weeks later, he had a bike accident (all by his lonesome, no other vehicles involved), went over his handlebars, and broke a collarbone. *sigh*

I didn't realize you two were a clippin couple, so cute

I love the quote.
I cycle every single day as I make the choice not to stress myself out with city traffic!

I slipped once so far, on some ice last winter....I wasn't hurt too bad thankfully. Sorry for your fall!

Now that’s something that makes life worth living! I take exercise every afternoon that way. Oh, to just grip your handlebars and lay down to it, and go ripping and tearing through streets and road, over railroad tracks and bridges, threading crowds, avoiding collisions, at twenty miles or more an hour, and wondering all the time when you’re going to smash up.  Well now, that’s something! And then go home again after three hours of it, into the tub, rub down well, then into a soft shirt and down to the dinner table, with the evening paper and a glass of wine in prospect - and then to think that tomorrow I can do it all over again!</p> <P>- <A href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http:%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fexec%2Fobidos%2Fsearch-handle-url?%5Fencoding=UTF8%26search-type=ss%26index=books%26field-author=Jack%20London&tag=rollingresistance-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Jack London</A></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BBE595B8-FB37-4F56-B22F-697B74128272/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
