A walk is just as good…

When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having,

just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road,

without a thought on anything but on the ride you are taking.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Scientific American, 1896

[or as I saw it written on a wall in Italy…”pedala senza pensare a nient’altro che alla strada che percorri”]
