"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

*A domestique is a road bicycle racer who works for the benefit of his team and leader. The French domestique translates as “servant”. [n 1] The word was coined in 1911, although such riders had existed before then.
