Great Cycling Quotes...

Mankind has invested more than four million years of evolution in the
attempt to avoid physical exertion. Now a group of backward-thinking
activists mounted on foot-powered pairs of Hula-Hoops would have us
pumping our legs, gritting our teeth, and searing our lungs as though
we were being chased across the Pleistocene savanna by saber-toothed
tigers. Think of the hopes, the dreams, the effort, the brilliance,
the pure force of God that, over the eons, has gone into the creation
of the Cadillac Coupe de Ville. The great Satan bicycle riders would
have us throw all this on the ash heap of history.

- Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, former Iraqi Minister of Information

  1. ha! I love the over-simplification and exaggeration: foot-powered pairs of Hula-Hoops, searing our lungs, saber-toothed tigers...

    What was this quote in response to? Iraq really had a bicycle movement against cars?
