Cycling (In a Nutshell)
- “I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it’s not going to be satisfying.”- Greg LeMond (American- Former Cyclist)
- “Second doesn’t mean anything in cycling.”- Mark Cavendish (Manx- Cyclist)
- “Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way. It gives you a moment to breathe and think, and get away from what you’re working on.”- David Byrne (Scottish- Musician)
Cycling (Nitty Gritty)
- “Cycling is a joy and faster than many other modes of transport, depending on the time of day. It clears the head.”- David Byrne (Scottish- Musician)
- “I think everyone lifts themselves for the Tour de France, being the pinnacle of our cycling calendar.”- Chris Froome (British- Cyclist)
- “Cycling is based so much on form, on aesthetics, on class – the way you carry yourself on the bike, the sort of technique you have.”- David Millar (Scottish- Former Cyclist)
Cycling (What sets it apart)
- “Cycling taught me to recognize that mental health is on a sliding scale. Some days you are up and some days you are down.”- Chris Hoy (British- Former Cyclist and Racing Driver)
- “In sport you always think the strongest guy should be going for it and get the best results. The thing is, cycling also has a very important team aspect, which I don’t think that a lot of people fully grasp.”- Chris Froome (British- Cyclist)
Cycling (Final Thoughts)
- “It’s hard to put into words, really, how proud I am and great it is to represent Wales because, in cycling, it’s a little-known country, so it’s nice to put it on the map.”- Geraint Thomas (Welsh- Cyclist)
- “Bike riding is great for thinking. I can’t say I’ve written an entire tune while cycling, but riding has definitely inspired songwriting ideas.”- Allan Holdsworth (British- Musician)
