Default bicycle meditation ride through Cascade Bicycle Club

Maybe it could be a limited interest, people doing meditation and
people doing cycling both are small minorities. You'd need to come
from at least one of the angles and explain what's the point (or
the benefit) of combining them both. Are you trying to draw
cyclists to meditation or meditating people to cycling?

Cycling is a sort of moving meditation. Maybe it would fit people
who can't just sit. Then again your movement is somewhat
restricted on a bike, and cycling is more directed towards
exploring the environment than towards self-expression.

How does meditation fit into cycling? Can it be a form of
training? (Interesting question as I haven't actively meditated
for years but I have a strong training programme for cycling.)
I've seen some discussion of breathing technique or keeping mental
focus, but that's about all... it seems these arts never got
advanced so far here as in the orient.

Maybes I should study your site more carefully :-)

Cascade is probably a better marketing channel for reaching
cyclists...
