When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle.
~ Hovel in the Hills: An Account of `the Simple Life
That is a great quote coming from Quote Garden, that has a great series of interesting quotes in regard to bicycling as a life choice, the wonder of the journey by bike via Human Power. It is a wonderful thing, to realize that so many explore bicycling as a life choice. As I have explored, in so many posts here at bike-journeys, and get out there and ride everyday by two wheels and using my own muscle mass to propel myself forward.
It goes even beyond that, in that simple effort of riding I improve my overall health and increase energy that is available, while thinking more clearly. And it only gets better as time progresses, as I Focus Forward in my life.It is one in the same, that progress is a constant, as the journey continues on two wheels and by Human Power.
As I explore this wonder of Alternative Transportation I also setup a new zone on Helium that is specific, regarding, bicycling as a life choice, because it makes sense to share the knowledge and the awareness that I have learned in the years I have been on this earth. There is so much more to expand on, though that is for the next post.
