Experience the natural flow of movement, the quietening of your mind and a deepening into your essential being through the art of Zen cycling. The bicycle is not just a vehicle used to transport ourselves, to exercise one's body or to obtain joy. It's a device which allows us to attain a much wealthier mental state than one would think possible. Once we ride it, it's possible to experience a feeling close to that achieved by meditation. The movements of the legs, the energy which arises through the body, the cadence of our breathing and the floating attention on what's happening around us and in our mind, all create a similar state to the one we achieve when we sit crossed-legged, with our eyes closed, allowing our thoughts to drift simply and naturally. Zen calls it mindfulness. · No other book links both practices - biking and Zen · The author has over 50 years of practice as an urban cyclist, practising Zen and writing as a way of self-knowledge · Cycling to work is popular as a way to simultaneously promote one's health and fight against climate change by limiting fossil fuel usage.
