Rochester Flyers

Your training partner's name is pain. You start out trying to ignore him. Can't do it.
You attempt to reason with him. No way. You try to strike a bargain. Hah.
You plead. You say "Please stop, please go away. I promise never ever to do
this again if you just leave me alone." But he won't. Pain only climbs off if you do.
Then you're beaten. - Scott Martin

One's first glimpse of freedom, in fact is often snatched from
a bike. By turning the pedals you can move more quickly towards
your most secret dreams.
-Bernard Hinault

Bicycling is the nearest approximation I know to the flight of birds.
The airplane simply carries a man on its back like an obedient Pegasus;
it gives him no wings of his own.
-Louis J. Helle, Jr.

But to say that the race is the metaphor for the life is to miss the point.
The race is everything. It obliterates whatever isn't racing.
Life is the metaphor for the race.
-Donald Antrim


Riding a race bike is an art -
a thing that you do because you feel something inside.
-Valentino Rossi

You can't win without suffering. Whether it's in the mountains
or in a time trial you have to spare no effort. You may feel drained
at the finish, but the joy of winning help you forget everything...
-Bernard Hinault



As long as I breathe, I attack.
-Bernard Hinault


Try not...
Do... or do not.
There is no try. -Jedi Master Yoda



Everyday there's something that reminds me why I love this sport.
-Bernard Hinault


Hard training, easy combat;
easy training, hard combat.
- Marshal Suvorov, famous Russian General



I race to win, not to please people.
-Bernard Hinault


If you don’t have confidence,
you’ll always find a way not to win.
- Carl Lewis

You have to decide whether to put up with the pain
or whether to stop and get off the bike
-Beranrd Hinault

A race doesn't start on Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon:
You have to be aware of it throughout the week in order to be ready.
Eat wisely, sleep, train hard: a life of self control.
-Bernard Hinault
