Art & Bicycles




This is art by Will Freeborn in Gourock Scotland. He is a very talented artist--I love his watercolors and travel sketchbooks. I first stumbled upon his work through Gary Rides a Bike and now keep up with it regularly. I am taking a new drawing class this fall and will bike there and back (at night even!) thereby combining two great loves: cycling and art. :-)


"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle."
-Ernest Hemingway
