“The bicycle—the most energy-efficient form of travel ever devised—deserves better. Pound for pound, a person on a bicycle expends less energy than any creature or machine covering the same distance.” -Slightline, Sevenwonders

(A human walking spends about three times as much energy per pound; even a salmon swimming spends about twice as much.)

“When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race.” -H.G Wells
