What are you thinking?!

Where is your head when you are riding? Hopefully secured by a helmet. But what about your thoughts? Do they race so fast you can't see what is in front of you or around you? Do they go blank so you can simply focus on what is before you in the moment? Are you one with your bike, the road, the trail, the space around you? Have you ever thought of thinking of positive thoughts while you ride? Do you know that what you think AFFECTS the space around you? Do you know that your mind can go where you want it to if you consciously will it to? CPR is all about being the change you want to see in the world. That change begins in your mind. It begins by visualizing what you want to create...by seeing things how you want them to be. You have to be it first and eventually the world around you will be affected by your way of being. This starts in the mind. If enough of us are putting good stuff out there via our collective thinking, imagine what is possible. How much time are you on your bike? Why not use this time to make an impact. Zoning out is fine for a time but then make your mind useful to do good things for this ailing planet. Be the change you want to see in the world now. I would love to hear your "thoughts" in response to this post. Please share! Happy mindful riding!

The Joy of Commuting!

I work from home as tour director for CPR. Two days a week I take my daughter to daycare. Weather permitting, I do this on my bike. It's a 3-mile ride both ways. The extra 10 minutes of time it takes to make the round trip are well worth it as it is absolutely a highlight of my day! While feeling the gentle burn in my legs and stretch in my lungs, I get to hear her emerging words and made up songs from behind me. She rides in a Burley trailer with lunch box in tow behind her, bottle in hand and usually a favorite toy or two. We get to see the flowers, smell the fresh air, feel the cool breeze and enjoy the view of the mountains as a backdrop to the cityscape of Denver. She gets to witness this cool mode green transportation in action - and occasionally mechanic-mommy flipping over the bike to change a tire or fix a derailleur. She just turned 2 and whenever the word "bike" is mentioned in our house or she sees an image of one, she lights up like the sun. There are many good reasons for commuting by bike. This is just one!

BE the HOPE

BE the HOPE

BE a source of inspiration to those around you.
BE someone they can look to and say “I know its possible because you did it!”
ELEVATE someone out of their own misery.
INSPIRE others to live fully.
DITCH the disabling mindset that what the world deems impossible is really so.
LIVE AWARE that your next breath is a gift and you have been declared worthy to receive it!
