Wind in Your Hair

Words of wisdom from the One Spirit Book of Days for this week:

In its fusion of rider and machine, cycling has a Zen purity.  You may not feel this in town, among the car fumes and careless drivers.  But whenever you get the chance, do some cycling in the countryside:  it’s the ideal way to travel through a wild landscape, so long as the hills are gentle and the road surfaces smooth.  Coastal cycling is a particular pleasure.  If you’re lucky enough to find a small, flat island with a good coast road, you might even be able to do a circular tour without once losing sight of the sea!
