I've assigned my students to read a group of poems from a diverse cross-section of poets classical and modern. Those poems form a sort of cycle of the seasons.
Yesterday they read Neutral Tones by Thomas Hardy.
I read somewhere that he was an enthusisastic cyclist until late in his long life. Somehow that doesn't surprise me:
Now doesn't he look so completely English with that bike?
On the subject of writer/cyclists, here's a photo of Arthur Conan Doyle and his wife on an early tandem in 1892:
Both photos came from Flavorwire.
