I like playing basketball and going to the gym. I don’t box, but I’ll ride my bike and go jogging or running in the park. Sometimes my lady and I go hiking.
I take cabs if I need to get somewhere or I take car service. I don’t drive, I wouldn’t mind riding a bike… People think that because you become an entertainer you gotta have this rock star thug image. I’m an artist, man. I’m going to live like an artist.
In Copenhagen, we all ride bicycles everywhere, partly because it is impossible to park a car, but also because you can cross the city in 20 minutes on a bike.
I grew up in New Jersey and played sports and rode my bike around. It was a really nice time – kids didn’t have cellphones then – and you knew everyone in the town.
I used to climb trees and ride my bike way too fast downhill.
On my days off, I like to be outdoors – on my bike or walking the dog or swimming – so it’s important anyone I date is also into fitness.
Everything feels different on Christmas morning because there’s nobody about. And if they are, then they’re on a new bike.
My son and I ride a tandem bike. We turn the music on and just enjoy riding through our neighborhood.
Every transportation department at schools thought that there should be a bike buddy program. They thought that bicycle commuters wanted to find another buddy to bike with to campus, which is a nice idea. But the consumer demand for that was about zero.
Riding a bicycle is the summit of human endeavour – an almost neutral environmental effect coupled with the ability to travel substantial distances without disturbing anybody. The bike is the perfect marriage of technology and human energy.
The most important thing is to have a good relationship with the bike… you have to understand what she wants. I think of a motorcycle as a woman, and I know that sounds silly, but it’s true.
I tested in the top percentile for IQ, but I couldn’t tie my shoes or really ride a bike without training wheels until I was almost 7.
I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me.
So while I was studying, I rode my Trials bike, then I moved to roadracing.
I mean, for me, the reason I ride my bike and race is because I love doing it, not because I’m seeking recognition for it.
Every time I go to work, I feel like it’s the first time; I feel terrified and excited and exhilarated and like a deer in the headlights. I think: how do I do this? And then it just happens. Like riding a bike, you know?
When you’re a kid, all you really care about are Slurpees and Slip N Slide and riding your bike, and that’s what I did.
I bought my first dirt bike when I was 12, and I started racing motocross when I was 15 and started getting pretty successful. Then I started racing snowmobiles at 17 and decided I wanted to focus on that and see if I can make a career at it.
I ride my bike for transportation a great deal – occasionally I ride it for fun. But I also have a generator bike that’s hooked up to my solar battery pack, so if I ride 15 minutes hard on my bike, that’s enough energy to toast toast, or power my computer.
Seattle is very similar to Minneapolis. I like the culture; I like the people. I raced a bike and won a national championship on Lake Washington in 1977, so I’ve had a connection there for a long time.
The thrills of riding a bike and having to do speedy stunts are something I’ve discovered I love like crazy.
I was hit by a car once on my bike, but I still rode home.
Every weekend, I’m on the highway to Antwerp. I need to be there, to have the calm. It’s a whole different life: I jump on my bike, and it’s so small, I can be anywhere in a minute. I like to be at home when there’s free time because when you’re at a big company, you’re constantly surrounded by 30 people.
The whole point of bike-sharing is to give New Yorkers another way to commute. A lot of folks in Bay Ridge work in downtown Brooklyn or other parts of the borough. For them, it would make more sense to hop on a Citi Bike than to wait for a train or a bus.
I exercise at a great gym and do dance classes mixed with some calisthenics. I really enjoy that because it reminds me of ’80s aerobics. It’s fun! I also bike ride, or sometimes I swim. Because I stand a lot, I don’t really like to walk long distances. Running or jogging is out of the question.
On Sunday morning, I like to go for a walk around London. If the weather is nice, I’ll go to a park or on a lovely bike ride around the city.
I tried my hardest to stay fit and active during quarantine. I went to my PT office four to five times a week. I did weights, a stationary bike, a rowing machine, and lots of abs.
I’m good with digital technology, but I start to miss the physical world. I miss riding my bike, talking to friends.
I hated it at first, because I hate the cold even though I’m from a cold area, but I love Toronto. I think it’s gorgeous. I think it’s an amazing city. Everybody runs here or rides a bike. I’ve had to become more active so I don’t feel left out.
I really like to bike outdoors and love the weight-based workouts that I do. I am not the biggest fan of other cardio-based workouts. Off-season cardio sessions are pretty grueling.
Going for a really long run, a bike ride, or cross-country skiing helps me get away from all the noise. I tell myself, ‘The pain you’re feeling, just enjoy it because it’s going to help you across that finish line first.’ If you’re having a crap day, go for a run. It makes a big difference.
I’m not good at sports, but I do exercise because we have to move. Besides walking my dog four times a day, I go to the gym and do 30 minutes on a stationary bike while reading a book because I get bored, then 10 minutes of weights and 10 of stretches.
It might seem ludicrously simple, but the obvious answer to what to wear on your bike is whatever that helps you enjoy cycling.
I’ll never forget the first time I rode a bike with pedal straps. I stopped at a traffic light and fell over like Arte Johnson in ‘Laugh-In.’
I went to Phoenix, Arizona for ‘Angel Unchained,’ and they’d hire the bike gang from Phoenix to be extras in the movie.
As obvious as it sounds, I strongly recommend shopping at a specialty bike store. They are the experts, and they will be able to help you decide which bike is best for you.
I’m not a huge gym person, so I try to stay away from the gym. But I love to run on the beach or go for a walk. It’s better than riding a stationary bike.
I’m not convinced that stealing an iPhone is a felony or stealing a bike is a felony.
At 19 I left school and embarked on a 9-day bike ride with friends from London to Monte Carlo.
I do ride my bike a lot.
Growing up, I absolutely loved skateboarding and dirt bike riding with my brother and the neighborhood kids.
Well, you go to Holland and everybody’s on a bike – nobody would think to have a car.
I have this fantasy of my older days, painting or sculpting or making things. I have this fantasy of a bike trip to Chile. I have this fantasy of flying into Morocco. But right now, it’s about getting the work done and getting home to family. I have an adventure every morning, getting up.
I did the Kilimanjaro climb a few years ago, then the six-day trek to Machu Picchu in Peru so this bike ride to raise money for Great Ormond Street seemed like the next big challenge.
I remember taking my stabilisers off my bike with my dad in the back garden. It was a small little bike, and it was called Poppy, had balloons on it, and was purple.
I am thankful the most important key in history was invented. It’s not the key to your house, your car, your boat, your safety deposit box, your bike lock or your private community. It’s the key to order, sanity, and peace of mind. The key is ‘Delete.’
Bike riding requires permanent sacrifice. It means training 11 months out of 12 and 110 days of racing, whatever the weather conditions. Early in life, I realised I did not have intellectual potential, so I dedicated myself to cycling.
I do doubles on Monday and Thursday, take Wednesday off or do easy cardio, do doubles on Thursday and Friday, and the weekend I just get outside and get active – jog or bike ride, or play tennis with my mom.
I started out doing triathlons because they terrified me! I’m a good swimmer, I learned to ride a bike in college, and I hate running. It seemed like something I could never do, so I decided, ‘I’m gonna do it.’
It’s great to have an honest course where you can use your strength. I swim 10 hours a week, I bike 20 hours a week, and I want to be able to show that.
Triathletes can push themselves quite hard, and I have seen people collapse on a barrier or pass out on a bike.
Whether you’re 7 feet 6 inches or normal height, stealing someone’s bike is low.
It’s not much different to Formula One where they are improving the cars constantly. The difference is every hand biker needs a different bike depending on their residual ability.
Leather is always sexy, and you have to wear leather when you ride a bike. It’s more for protection, but it also gets you some style points, I think.
Travel by car or by bike! It helps to avoid walking too much and hurting your feet.
