Take a bite out of a bite out of crime by Monty Cantsin 05/13/2003, 2:57pm PDT "The main point in Waiting for Godot, as well as in most of Beckett's works, is that nothing seems to change and something is repeated more or less eternally. These are exercises in repetition and variation - and the same can be said of the motions of the bicycle: its rider is moved through the landscape but does not move in relation to the vehicle. The bicycle's chain and wheels are continuously moving forward but never escape their cyclic nature and always return to where their motion starts. The bicycle for Beckett seems to have been an infinity machine. Cycling enthusiasts know that of all moving animals and machines, the bicycle has been scientifically proven to be the most efficient. Mankind never came closer to the old dream of a perpetuum mobile than with this fascinating two-wheel machine. Weather and terrain permitting, a bicycle and its rider can stay in motion for hours on end without exhausting all energies." - Friedhelm Rathjen, from The Joys of Cycling with Beckett [emphasis mine] /mc
