Great Cycling Quotes

The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.

Ned Flanders: 'You were bicycling two abreast?'
Homer Simpson: 'I wish. We were bicycling to a lake.'

*"I have never seen a BMC frame that hasn't made me gag and consider giving up cycling to avoid being associated with anyone that rides one"

"sram: the less you use, the better it works! should be their advertising slogan..."

How good is Brad Wiggins? Always good for an honest and entertaining comment – the sport needs more people like him!

Courtesy of Mark Cavendish, fast, and full of graceful arrogance:

''When journalists at the Tour de France ask me if I am the best sprinter, I answer 'Yes', and that's seen as arrogance, but if they don't ask me, I don't say I'm the best sprinter in the world.''

''The fact is, you look at the replays of my wins at the Tour, and I'm the fastest sprinter. I'm stating a fact. It's not just me saying 'I'm the fastest sprinter' without backing it up - I'm stating a fact, you know? I don't see how that can be seen as arrogance when it's just telling the truth. But people can take me as they want? I don't give a shit really.''

I sometimes think he comes across as a prat, but he has a very good point there.
If somebody asks a question, they should expect an answer, and if you happen to ask one of the best sprinters in the world if he's aware that he's one of the best sprinters in the world, you shouldn't think he's a tosser when you realise that he's noticed.

*When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the human race.

I'm afraid so. He was run over by the worlds first commuting nodder.

I now only have good days and great days.
**Lance Armstrong **(presumably after having another blood transfusion)

I know he's dead FFS...

Clearly, because we've just told you.

I know he's dead FFS...

haha. Rag loss.

That was the whole bloody joke! And it was fucking hilarious until you two came and along and fucked it up and now we're arguing about whether I knew if HG wells was dead or not, and whether I thought he must live in fucking Kensington or something and doesn't get over this side of town very much.

Bloody hell.

It was good!

Forget about it man, he wasnt that good at singing anyway.

He never lived in Kensington anyway.
