" On a bicycle I am exposed to all local experiences as no other modern traveller can hope to be. Moving quietly along at gentle speeds allows me to see, hear, and smell ... I can stop wherever and whenever I want to... I am able to respond to the greetings of workers in the fields, passers-by, and friendly villagers. " ~ Bettina Selby , an English Writer |
