SB1 - Thinking about the words

I want to have a short description of what bicyclism is and stand for so I have been reading over the newspaper this is a list of sentences i have either put together or taken from the papers.


  • The peoples nag - working class machine 
  • The freedom machine - first name given by creator 
  • Celebrating the people in and around leeds, who inhabit the world of cycling, its history and culture. 
  • Celebrating Leeds on two wheels, Biyclism big visual rummage through the history and culture of cycling in and around the Leeds area,
  • Leeds city museum 
  • 'If you stop pedaling you will fall off' 
  • pedal-powered democracy 
  • Bicyclism is a broad sweep across the area's cycling culture, and a desire to record it. An attempt to highlight the connections between all the city's cyclists, who ride for a thousand diffrent reasons. Essentially, Bicyclism is about a city and its people on two wheels."
    • THE BICYCLE IS A DEMOCRATISING FORM OF TRANSPORT THAT HAS CHANGED LITTLE IN THE PAST 125 YEARS; A PEDAL-POWERED, CHAIN-DRIVEN FRAME BALANCED ON TWO WHEELS, WITH THE SIMPLE RULE THAT ‘IF YOU STOP PEDALLING, YOU FALL OFF’.
    • I ’ve got a bike
      You can ride it if you like
      It’s got a basket, a bell that rings
      And things to make it look good.
    • ""The four ageing cyclists eating their butties on a bench outside the cafĂ© on the road to Leyburn smile at me as I pedal past. For a moment I feel like one of them, a proper cyclist, on nodding terms with those whose veins run with bicycle lubricant. About two hundred metres further down the road I realise I’ve taken a wrong turning, and should have headed off right at the last roundabout. I turn around and ride back. I have to do the nod again, only this time it’s accompanied by a mutual grin that recognises my stupidity. Because I’m not one of them at all, really. I never will be. I’m at best an enthusiastic part-timer, connected to these cycling veterans by the simple fact of straddling that most democratic of machines, the bicycle."
    • Bicyclism – Leeds on Two Wheels’ is a big visual rummage through the history and culture of cycling in and around the Leeds area,
