Classic Rider Quotes #49

Posted on June 18, 2013June 18, 2013 by CarbonAddiction

I just love this description of climbing. It’s from The Rider, by Dutchman Tim Krabbe.

“Climbing is a rhythm, a trance; you have to rock your organs’ protests back to sleep.”

Sunday morning racing 👌🏼

#BondiBikes ☀️🚲

If #leonardodavinci designed bikes 🤔

Festive puzzle done 🧩

Used to spend nights here drinking beer 🍺 Now it’s early mornings ordering coffee ☕️ #gettingold 😂 #riverloop

Loving the @officinemattio Lemma 2.0 😍 100% 🇮🇹 Very impressive aero all-rounder. Fast, balanced, versatile. Beautifully made. Full review coming in early 2023 @bicyclingaustralia

Another classic Brisbane ride this morning. Brookfield Fingers and Mogill Ferry. More bikes than cars out at Brookfield, beautiful yet so close to the city👌🏼 Oh, and mixed poo is just $3. Bargain💩 😂

Mt Coot-tha, Brisbane. One of @bicyclingaustralia 50 Aussie rides to do before you die. It’s only a short climb up to the summit lookout, but it’s sharp with more than half over 10%. The @officinemattio Lemma 2.0 took it all in its stride 👌🏼

Love a good Xmas road trip, especially with a bike on the roof 👌🏼🎅🚴

New toy day. VERY excited to be testing the 🇮🇹 all-Italian @officinemattio Lemma 2.0 for @bicyclingaustralia over Xmas, plenty of juicy rides planned🎄 Review coming in 2023 👌🏼
