When 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.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

happy to be back in london today; if only because i get to ride my bicycle (not the one pictured above) to and from work & farther afield on the weekends.
that quote is, ah, so right. thank you for sharing. do you know what work it is from?
I don’t I’m sorry Holly. I found it on thinkexist and there’s no work cited in regards to it.
what a wonderful quote! so true!
Great quote!
Preferably while remaining upright! That is a gorgeous bike.
Haha – yes! I seem to only fall when stationary and I forget to unclip…
Not helped by the fact that, as soon as I realise I am toppling over, I begin laughing uncontrollably and all thoughts on unclipping fly out of my mind.
I’m glad I took that photo. The bike was there for months and months. And now it’s gone. I hope someone is riding it!
