Fixed Zen is an idea/concept that I have regarding Zen
Buddhism, Taoism and the Single Speed bike. I refer to Single speed to include
both direct drive and freewheel Single Speed. When I speak of direct drive
exclusively; I will state it as such.
I believe that there are many similarities between the two
ideas, and it is here that I want to explore them in a conscious way. I think
there’s a play there, but I am able to look at that at a later time….
I want to sit down and write a very coherent, well thought
out blog for this purpose. I wouldn’t mind seeing where I am able to take this
and how far, how many connections that I am able to make.
These are my original ideas and thoughts put down here in
blog form for now. I will obviously pull from Buddhist sources and cycling
sources; and when I do, I will site the sources. I’m not a plagiarizer.
Any ideas, thoughts, comments, and criticism is welcomed. I
am not a polished author. This is the
first time I’m doing anything like this. Before it has just been random posts
and ideas that in some way come together (I think).
I am not going to dive into the western religions. This is
for a few reason, that I do not and will not get into here. I will stick to
eastern religions as stated above my main focus will be Zen Buddhism and
Taoism. I will put in history when needed. I am not here to ‘convert’ you in
any way. What will be here under the Fixed Zen headings is, simply, the
observations that I have made with Buddhism and riding a Single Speed bike.
So I hope you enjoy the readings…
Amitabha…
