'A joy and a massacre' ... Some more words on cycling.

And a video.

Writers have a knack for being dark and jaded from time to time. I’m no exception.

So I looked up some of the most “morbid cycling quotes.” Here’s 5 that I found. I hope they make you smile in some way, no matter how dark they are.

1. "Cycling is a joy and a massacre – it's like going to war without the bullets." - Jean-Paul Sartre

2. "The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart." - Iris Murdoch

3. "Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way. It gives you a moment to breathe and think, and get away from what you're working on." - David Byrne

4. "The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine." - John Howard

5. "The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets." - Christopher Morley

And for some levity …

Happy Wednesday, cycopaths.

I’m in the middle of working on some biggish projects that likely will be announced here, on Cycotherapy, soon or at some point in the near-ish future. Sorry for noncommittal vagueness, but so it goes for now. I hope these sorta short pieces of content don’t make you disinterested. Please bear with me!
