This great quote is from one of Lisa’s good book recs- “Bicycling beyond the Divide” by Daryl Farmer
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man’s convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man’s brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others.
-Elizabeth West, from Hovel in the Hills
