It only takes 10 seconds in the saddle to put a smile on my face. My bicycle takes me away. She carries me down roadways, up winding hills, through country fields. She teaches me to breath the air, to live in the moment, and to listen to the world surrounding me. My bicycle is the perfect place for me to be Me.
I realized today how much clearer my life is, as long as I keep riding my bicycle. No matter what I'm worrying about in life, or what I could be stressing out about, it all disappears with each wheel rotation, carrying me into... a different time? My bike is a Time Machine! yes! I haven't figured out how to go back in time yet. But I can pedal in the now, ponder the future, and dream about places near and far. My mind is unclouded and free. I believe this has a lot to do with the speed of travel. A bicycle moves faster than a walk, but slower than a car. It's just about the perfect pace for me to clearly capture my thoughts.
The only priority for me right now is to keep riding, further and longer. I ride my bike. Everyday, I ride my bike. And if I keep riding my bike, everything will fall into place.
