A Quote by Alfred Noyes

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, The road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding-- Riding--riding-- The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

Horses are not for riding! They do not exist for riding! Horse riding is man's invention! It is the making up of human benefit!

I've been riding for 36 years. I started when I was 14-years-old. I was one of those crazy guys, riding wheelies up and down the streets, all the time. I love riding. It's in my blood.

Emilio Rivera

Being President is a little bit like riding a tiger. You have to keep riding, or else you will be swallowed up by it!

Harry S. Truman

I don't ride a sport bike. If I'm riding a sport bike and trying to do tricks, and going 200 miles down the highway, that's probably pretty stupid. But when you're riding a Harley or a chopper, and you're riding with a group of people and you're not on the highway and you're cruising, you're relaxing.

Ben Roethlisberger

I grew up riding when I was younger in Texas. I actually learned how to ride in Norway. I really love riding horses.

Jackson Rathbone

For riding a snowmobile, you need to have your knee bent. It needs to absorb the impact of riding over bumps, to allow yourself to stand up or sit down, balance side to side.

Mike Schultz

I just love riding my bike - no more so than at home in Cardiff and in South Wales on the roads where I started out, riding with my mates who I grew up with.

Geraint Thomas

Being a president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or he is swallowed.

Harry S. Truman

I'm riding you with a slack rein, my pet, but don't forget that I'm riding with curb and spurs just the same.

Margaret Mitchell

No, riding in the Peloton is more frightening than riding in the park.

Eddy Merckx

A vegan riding a hummer contributes less to greenhouse gas emissions than a meat eater riding a bicycle.

Paul Watson

When you're riding, only the race in which you're riding is important.

Bill Shoemaker

I was always fast riding bikes with my brother who got me on a bike. There was little to do so I ended up riding everywhere. It was both my transportation, entertainment, and a good way perhaps to make a living I hope.
