Here are our top ten mountain bike, biking quotes and sayings. All of them put a smile on our faces even if they are a little

The secret to mountain biking is pretty simple.
The slower you go the more likely it is you'll crash.
Julie Furtado
When the spirits are low, when the day appears
dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin
down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.
Sherlock Holmes
Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is,
we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he
will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his
journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through
life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.
William Golding
Until mountain biking came along, the bike scene was
ruled by a small elite cadre of people who seemed allergic to enthusiasm.
Jacquie Phelan
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. Thus you remember them as they
actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country
you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.
Ernest Hemingway
After your first day of cycling, one dream is inevitable.
A memory of motion lingers in the muscles of your legs, and round and round they seem to go. You ride through Dreamland
on wonderful dream bicycles that change and grow. - The Wheels of Chance
H.G. Wells
Get a bicycle.You will not regret it if you
live.
Mark Twain
Cycling is unique. No other sport lets you go like that -
where there's only the bike left to hold you up. If you ran as hard, you'd fall over. Your legs wouldn't support you.
Steve Johnson
I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting
it back together again.
Lance Armstrong
It is curious that with the advent of the automobile
and the airplane, the bicycle is still with us. Perhaps people like the world they can see from a bike, or the air they
breathe when they're out on a bike. Or they like the bicycle's simplicity and the precision with which it is made.
Or because they like the feeling of being able to hurtle through air one minute, and saunter through a park the next,
without leaving behind clouds of choking exhaust, without leaving behind so much as a footstep.
Gurdon S. Leete
