3. “Biking, on my old school Schwinn
Varsity, has given me something that
being an entrepreneur did not.
“Confidence.”

9. “I'd be grossed out if I had to watch
them [Mike & Molly] doing anything. To
be brutally honest, even in real life, I find
it aesthetically displeasing to watch a
very, very fat person simply walk across
a room.”
Maura Kelly, Marie Claire

10. Fuck yeah, Girls and Bikes

14. “Regarding fear…aren’t we all scared of something?
I am scared most of the time about a variety of
things-scared that I will never find someone who
loves me for who I truly am... So I have made the
decision to not be scared about biking. Yes, I am in
a city congested with cars, buses and taxis, but if
you are smart, you will find there is room for all of
us, and no room for fear.”

15. 1. Please consider wearing a dorky looking
helmet. Looking silly is better than a brain
injury. Yes, we’ve all heard miracles of the
person a helmet would’ve killed, but you
probably aren’t that person.
2. Buy non-owner’s operator insurance. Yes, car
insurance for people who don’t own cars.
Perfect for pedestrians and cyclists.
