Out of the Rain

Out Of The Rain, Under The Shelter I'Ve Been So Long Where
The Sun Don'T Shine Standing At The Cross-Roads, Could Have
Went Ither Way But Now I'Ve Found You And The Storm Is
Behind

Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain

Over The Wall, I'M Out In The Open Back On The Right Track, I'M
Feeling No Pain You Took A Sparrow And Let It Fly With The
Eagles I Can See A Long Ways, I Feel Love Again

Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain

There Was A Time I Was Taking No Prisoners Standing With A
Cold Heart, Standing Alone It Took Your Sweet Love To Pull
Me Out Of The Canyon I Believe I Can Make It Now, I Feel Like I
Belong

Out Of The Rain, Out Of The Rain Out Of The Rain, Out Of The
Rain

The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community. (Ann Strong, 1895)

The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine. (John Howard)

First Law of Bicycling: No matter which way you ride, it's uphill and against the wind.

Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live. (Mark Twain)

It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. (Ernest Hemingway)

It never gets easier, you just go faster. (Greg LeMond)

Kansas: home of the highway with 318 miles and 11 curves.

Melancholy is incompatible with bicycling. (James E. Starrs)

Pain is a big fat creature riding on your back. The farther you pedal, the heavier he feels. The harder you push, the tighter he squeezes your chest. The steeper the climb, the deeper he digs his jagged, sharp claws into your muscles. (Scott Martin)

Think of bicycles as rideable art that can just about save the world. (Grant Peterson)

When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. (H.G. Wells)


Sorry about sending so much internet culture but I loved this compendium of bicycle quotes from

http://www.dennydavis.net/poemfiles/biking.htm

Needless to say, I was looking for poetry.

The last two quotes, in particular, made me smile with joy.

GO RIDERS GO - you are saving the world.
 

My heart and "significant other" are with you. Wishing all of you "well" every mile, and almost every hour of the day! Keep on "pumping" - keep on enjoying - I trust, as with many things, the real joy is in the "doing", the "striving", the "earning" the rewards of accomplishment. Much love and a hug to all -- Jan
