While spinning the other day, I noticed my friend's bike had writing taped all over her handlebars. They were short inspirational quotes that she uses to lift her spirits on long rides. What a great idea! I've already taped two things to my handle bars: (1) "Got salt?"; and (2) "Heels down!" The former is to remind me to take my electrolyte tablets, and the latter is to stop me from riding with pointed toes.
Now I'm looking for deeper inspiration on the bike. Here are a few quotes that have struck me thus far in my search:
"Someday you will not be able to do this. Today is not that day." - Dane Rauschenberg
"It always seems impossible until it's done." - Nelson Mandela
"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will." - Mahatma Gandhi
"If you can dream it, you can do it." - Walt Disney
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them. ~Michael Jordan
ReplyDeleteIf we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. ~Thomas Alva Edison
The virtue lies in the struggle, not in the prize. ~Richard Monckton Milnes
Love those, Catherine! Especially the Michael Jordan one. Isn't that the truth?!
