The Slow Bicycle Movement

I like to skate fast and cycle slow. And what better recommendation to do so than this quote, via The Slow Bicycle Movement?

“As a means of pleasure, cycling stands in the foremost rank, but in common with all the great pleasures, it may easily stand in the foremost in abuse. The desire to ride at an unreasonably high speed may become morbid…The ever lasting scorcher, bent like a hoop, and with sunken cheeks, ought to be quite sufficient warning against this abuse.”

Slow Bicycle Philosophy from 1892. In the book "How to Bicycle" by L.F. Korns.
