We all know life is not always an easy ride along a beautiful cycling path. Sometimes it is just like a bicycle wheel spinning around on the ups and downs of a muddy trail (wait a moment. Actually, this is my idea of fun). What to do during these dark days as giving up has never been a choice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but I pretty much like to get inspired by quotes that say a lot about life in a few words.\u00a0I selected the ones I like the most and \u2013 by the way \u2013 are connected with cycling. Usually these words give me another perspective of the situation and put my mind in the \u201cI can do it\u201d mode. I hope they inspire you for 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Albert Einstein (1879 \u2013 1955), physicist who developed the general theory of relativity<\/p>\n

\u201cIt never gets easier, you just go faster\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greg LeMond<\/a>, former pro rider, three times the Tour de France<\/a> champion and twice Road Race world champion<\/p>\n

\u201cCrashing is part of cycling as crying is part of love”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johan Museeuw, former pro rider, twice world champion<\/p>\n

\u201cA bicycle ride around the world begins with a single pedal stroke\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scott Stoll, a Community Professor who travelled around the world on his bicycle<\/p>\n

\u201cCyclers see considerably more of this beautiful world than any other class of citizens. A good bicycle, well applied, will cure most ills this flesh is heir to\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. K. K. Doty<\/p>\n

\u201cLike dogs, bicycles are social catalysts that attract a superior category of people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chip Brown, writer<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond pain there is a whole universe of more pain\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jens Voigt<\/a>, former pro rider who holds the World Hour Record<\/p>\n

\u201dPain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lance Armstrong, former pro rider who saw all his accomplishments going down the drain because of doping<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 \u2013 1930), author of Sherlock Holmes<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle it’s not going to be satisfying\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greg LeMond<\/a>, former pro rider, three times the Tour de France champion and twice Road Race world champion<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never have the wind with you — either it is against you or you’re having a good day\u201c<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Behrman (1924 \u2013 1990), author of The Man Who Loved Bicycles<\/p>\n

\u201cCyclists live with pain. If you can’t handle it you will win nothing\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
