Brock Yates quotes
" A spin down a quiet county road (sans one of those goofball brain-buckets, of course) with no ambient sound except the wind whistling through the spokes and the muffled rustle of the tires on the pavement (and my heavy breathing) produces real pleasure. "

Brock Yates
" Ah, yes, the bicycle. This is the quintessential PC transport option module, rivaled only by the canoe and a pair of Timberland hiking boots. "

Brock Yates
" But the notion of transforming this recreation into a mode of mass transit is PC looniness of legendary proportions. "

Brock Yates
" Divorced from my first wife in 1978, I married the magical Pamela Reynolds and moved to a wonderful country house in the gaslit village of Wyoming, NY. "

Brock Yates
" Don't get me wrong, I think bikes are terrific. I own several of my own, including a trendy mountain style, and ride them for pleasure and light exercise. "

Brock Yates
" First, cars work. Admittedly, they take up a great deal of space, but America is blessed with space, square mile upon square mile of space that has permitted the population to comfortably spread out into suburbia (yet another source of hatred to the planners). "

Brock Yates
" Had I been more responsible I might have made something of myself as a junk bond trader, long-haul trucker or perhaps a plumbing contractor. "

Brock Yates
" I admit to wasting my life messing around with fast cars and motorcycles. "

Brock Yates
" I have four grown children and two tiny grandchildren. "

Brock Yates
" More books, more racing and more foolishness with cars and motorcycles are in the works. "

Brock Yates
" Much of our quiet time is spent boating and generally loafing at our second home in the 1,000 Islands on the St. Lawrence River. "

Brock Yates
" My father, Raymond F. Yates, was a successful writer of technical nonfiction and such a life seemed a reasonable alternative to real work. "

Brock Yates
" Regardless, I did rise to the editorship before embarking on a freelance career in the late '60's. "

Brock Yates
" Riding is a wonderful, healthy recreation, but we seem obsessed to transform it into a machine of socialist utility embodying all the joie de vivre of a wheelbarrow. "

Brock Yates
" Second, considering that most of this nation - excluding a tiny southwestern corner of California - is prone to radical blitzes of weather (too much rain, heat, snow, cold, etc.), the bicycle offers limited opportunity for usage, especially when the average commuting distance is more than 10 miles. "
