Hi, I'm Sarah
Writer, Artist and founder of Cycle Your Heart Out, here you can learn about why I created Heartful cycling, view my world map, and discover how to be a Heartful cyclist too...
As Seen In...
What is Heartful Cycling?
In 2011, I decided to spend the rest of my life using my creativity to help inspire others with heart shaped cycling. Creating & painting my bicycle routes allowed me to enter a world of clarity that I never knew existed. It allowed my mind to feel the silence in an often hectic world & opened my eyes to how you can combine creativity & mindfulness, & transform the future of cycling...
I discovered the more you love who you are, the more you can hear your intuition & follow your dreams with clarity, connecting you deeper with family & friends & more open to connect with your community.
My goal is to create a ripple effect of heart routes popping up all across the globe to help create a more mindful loving planet.

My Story
I was born in England and had not cycled properly since the age of 8. After graduating with a degree in Psychology I realised I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do in my life. It wasn’t until I went traveling around Australia and Bali in 2009 that I rediscovered the magical feeling of being back on a bicycle. I then promised myself I would live the rest of my life motivating people to get back on those two funky wheels!
When I returned to England at the end of 2010 I decided to express how much I loved cycling by creating a heart shaped cycle route in my hometown. After a solo yoga trip to Fuerteventura, Spain to gain clarity on my idea, a little brain wave occurred... by combining all my passions, cycling, photography, art & inspiring others, Cycle Your Heart Out was born! I celebrated the launch on July 2nd 2011 in Milton Keynes, England.
The Launch
From 2011 to 2013 I was a British cycling Breeze leader to help women around England get back on the saddle and enjoy cycling. The scheme enabled me to help organise and create Cycle your heart Out this Christmas, round the world with Sean Conway, the Richmond Breeze ride and also help lead and film the Cycletta event in Woburn.
Exploring an area by bike allows me to feel alive and free. Painting the interesting landmarks along my heart shaped journey allow me to become fully immersed and absorb everything that's surrounding me , photographing & filming it adds an extra special element that completes my whole heart.
I am now currently based in Spain and am researching more heart shaped routes, check out my latest heart route HERE!

"Cycle Your Heart Out is a very inspirational and creative idea, as it is it's founder, lovely and smiley Sarah. I immediately felt drawn to it as I love to cycle, explore, meet people, learn and just being interested in the world around me. The aspect which I value the most is the way it empowers, motivates and reminds the individuals around the world to pursue that which they enjoy and love doing, which comes from the heart. I can truly relate to that message. I admire Cycle Your Heart Out for creating and promoting such a positive message and I am looking forward cycling more heart shaped routes in the near future and hopefully be meeting you soon up in Croatia Mountains."
