"A delightful Bartlett’s of the bicycle."—Outside

Many things have been said about cycling, from the ridiculous to the sublime. The sport is full of outspoken characters, and they have provided us a treasure trove of quips, quotes, curses, profundity, and humor.

The Quotable Cyclist gathers the best of these into one indispensable volume. This book will provide any cyclist with unending pleasure, and inspiration to get out on the bike. It features quotes from such superstars as Lance Armstrong and Greg Lemond, and from civilians like John F. Kennedy, Mark Twain, and Albert Einstein. With chapters on road biking, mountain biking, winning, losing, descending, crashing, love and hate, The Quotable Cyclist will delight anyone who ever rode a bike.

    I'm not the famous and nice philanthropist Bill Strickland who helps people lead better lives. I'm just a guy who writes about life, mostly about bikes and life, as it turns out. Besides the books you can find here, I've published stories in Bicycling, Mountain Bike, Men's Health, Men's Journal, Parenting, Parents, Backpacker, Rouleur, Embrocation Cycling Journal, The Indianapolis Star, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times Book Review and other magazines and newspapers, and I've commented on cycling, memoirs and other topics for Good Morning America, The Early Show, CBS Sports, ESPN, NPR and other networks. I got to work with Phil Liggett a few times providing narration for race videos. I race road and cyclocross, just a little bit and not very well. I'm the editor-at-large of Bicycling, the biggest cycling mag in the world. And I am an amateur and barely competent goatherd.

Fun read to pick up every now and then. Great quotes from Mark Twain to Lance! (Yes, still a fan!) A difficult one to read cover to cover as in most cases.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay Coffee Table Book for Someone Into Cycling
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book is literally people's quotes on cycling. From Training, Crashes, Climbing, Women In Cycling.... multiple people's quotes per section with an intro by the author. It's a "mini" book (squarish) with 358 pages so it would look good on a coffee table (it's yellow as it is pictured - take the dust jacket off and the cover is yellow, too and nicer for display) or in display of a book shelf. Something to pick up and flip through when you are bored or your houseguest is. Don't think you're gonna be reading this type of book cover to cover. Lots from Greg LeMond. Good as a gift for a cyclist who has everything.

An awesome book with so much great information, history and humor concerning bicycling. Great range of people who have offered insight on cycling, the role of cycling in history, and having fun.

As expected some of the quotes are more interesting, witty or inspirational and some are less. There is a lot of them.

In this book the author expresses in so many ways all the different feelings about cycling that we cyclists come to grips with through our enjoyment of the sport. Well organized and vastly entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars Someone who gets it
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 1999
I've spent two years promoting our annual 500-mile lap around New England, and I get two kinds of comments: "How could you possibly do that?" or "Sign me up NOW!" This book is for people who make the latter comment. Strickland gets why people go beyond LOVING cycling to BECOMING cyclists. The mountain biking section hooked me. I'm a long-distance tourist, and the mountain bikers who have toured with me have tended to be hot-dog-oriented teenagers. I'm not attracted to mud and racing and rocks (and I like my limbs and ribs, thank you!). But I saw a different, contemplative, spiritual side of mountain biking that helped me grow in appreciation for those who pursue it. There's something for every cyclist here -- in fact, there's multiple "somethings" -- and those of you who have ever used your wheels will appreciate instantly that there are many others who speak our hearts.
