"It's a broad church of practical, physical and emotional reasons with one unifying thing-- the bicycle."

I have the thank my friend for an amazing surprise in my bag-- a book about bicycles! Apparently, the author shares the same philosophy as I do: find the time to mediate and replace it with stressful environment. For instance? COMMUTING!!! Ride your bike instead of driving-- it's a holy feeling!

Here's a paragraph to share our mutual understanding:

"The bicycle saves my life everyday. If you're ever experienced a moment of awe or freedom on a bicycle; if you've ever taken flight from sadness to the rhythm of two spinning wheels, or felt the resurgence of hope pedaling to the top of a hill with the dew of effort on your forehead; if you've ever wondered, swooping bird-like down a long hill on a bicycle, if the world was standing still; if you have ever, just once, sat on a bicycle with a singing heart and felt like an ordinary human touching the gods, then we share something fundamental. We know it's all about the bike."
--"It's All About the Bike" Robert Penn
