My two favourite things in life are libraries and bicycles. They both move people forward without wasting anything. The perfect day: riding a bike to the library.

We parked our bikes on verges so they could graze.

If I were offering hip replacement services I'd use Jarod Kintz as my spokesman. No one can possibly be better than him, to replace the missing spoke in your wheels.

The message of the bicycle: Simplicity is a blessing!

And though history sadly doesn't credit the man who first thought of tilting a bicycle's steering axis, it is more likely to be because of feet striking the wheel than an understanding of stability.

Social media is not just a spoke on the wheel of marketing. It's becoming the way entire bicycles are built.

The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets.
