Tolkien and a Bike

[stephen cowdrey]

I just finished Leaf by Niggle for the second time by JRR Tolkien. There is an extraordinary bike scene as a country trail ends and Niggle is riding continuously in a green pasture. I hope this gives you the energy this week to get inspired. As Rivendell is a Tolkien classic location, for us too RBW can bring us to these pastures! Marvelous and beautiful as I read this passage I have thought what bike is he riding? What did Tolkien ride? I feel like the novels are alive as I ride. 

Link to book for cheap bellow.

This is very interesting; thanks for raising the topic. I’m a member of a Tolkien discussion group and even after reading TH and LOTR for decades I’m still discovering new Tolkien material.

This Tolkien poem summarizes the exploring spirit that makes cycling so fun:

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

But wouldst gabble like a thing most brutish,

I endowed thy purposes with words that made them known.
