HEMINGWAY ON RIDING A BICYCLE
"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
