The Windbreakers are always on the lookout for great quotes about bicycling. Ernest Hemingway was a great American writer and journalist, and winner of the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature. Here is one of our favorites from Hemingway, whose works are considered classics of American literature: "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 the country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle". Ride On!!
