Mindfully riding your bike

Biking is a lot of fun, now that the weather is nicer my family and I love to go on biking trips around town. Here are some great mindfulness tips when you go biking next time: Go on your bike  and notice how it feels when your shoes touch the petals and you sit on your seat. Notice the hands touching the steering handles and take a deep breath in. Start petaling and notice all the sensations your body is experiencing. Isn’t it amazing how our bodies are created and everything is working to get you biking. After a while you can feel your heart  racing, your leg muscles working and notice the air moving in and out of your body as you are riding your bike. Look around and notice the trees, homes, cars etc. Isn’t it amazing how much different things look in the neighborhood when you are biking versus driving in your car. I feel I discover so many new things when I bike, things I did not notice before when in a car. This is what mindfully riding your bike is all about, so enjoy your bike rides and take some deep breaths while riding, so you feel relaxed, happy and balanced.
