To Bicycle is A choice - Will you Make It?

To explore more about bicycling there are many resources, some about the journey, others about the choice, each with it's own bits and pieces of information that put together can make something remarkable and assist in improving the transitional period, from escaping the car centered life and making it a bike centered life. In taking the steps in the right direction you make great progress, and grow beyond what you may of thought possible previously. As an avid cyclist myself and a person who has made that quality decision long ago it seems important to offer the information to the public at large, because in making the decision to make a change, each of us need someone to improve who we are and help us make the decisions necessary to make that all important change, so listed below are a series of resources I have found quite helpful in my own journey from the beginning until today, take a look at them and if something catchs your interest I will also list a Discussion forum that would give you an opportunity to expand the understanding;

And that of course is only a start there is more to come in the not to distant future so keep checking back, the objective in the coming days is to consolidate all this information in one place, a book perhaps or one site depending. Thanks for taking the time to read and explore the links, and take care, you are also welcome to contact me at friendfeed:

    Recent Revisions - Dreams & Analysis

    As I understand and explore the world as we know it today, I realize it makes better sense to look inwardly to find the answers to who you are and to find the solutions that are so integal in the growth by Focusing Forward as each day passes one to the next.

    So as I realize this fact, and I explore the world as I know it today, I understand better now how things have changed for the better, and by keeping a dream journal on my dream sessions it can truly make quite the difference. as is made clear in the Dream Dictionary by Tony Rice and there is so much more reading to do about dreams and growth, and since I have begun this journey I am progressing day by day because it makes sense to me to progress, does it make sense to you?

    Great Readers
