I'm thinking about my next tattoo and I like the thought of getting a bike quote. I've been reading a few and here are the ones I like so far

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving" -- Albert Einstein

"You can't get hurt in the air, but you can't stay there, either."

"If you're in control, you aren't going fast enough."

Get a bicycle. You will not regret it if you live. ~Mark Twain



Do the monkeys have any other good ones?

"On a mountain bike, you can cover a great distance in a short period of time, or a short distance in a great period of time. They say that the journey can be more important than the destination. In mountain biking, there is no destination. Just a bike, a rider, and a place to ride." -Roam: The Collective
