5 steps how
to create your own heart shaped route!
Why a Heart?
The feeling of satisfaction as you plot your heart on a map, set off on your bike and ride for the sheer joy of riding is priceless. Your mind only focusing on the heart map before you and the next street or road you need to take.
As your eyes dance around a route which you’ve created, you begin to notice your surroundings with more intensity, more wonder, you begin to spot a tree you never appreciated before, the looks of people faces as you roll on past, even the volume of the birds singing appears to increase. Thoughts of what you need to do tomorrow somehow get put on hold, regrets about past failures fade out, your chatterbox in your head takes a nap as you pedal towards your goal, riding your route heartfully and appreciating the whole journey, from beginning to end.

Bicycle Meditation
As your cruise along the path before you take a moment to focus on your breath,
With every in breath visualize something or someone you are grateful for,
With every out breath picture all your worries floating away behind you.
With every pedal you make notice how your feet feel & enjoy the flow as your legs spin effortlessly.
Does your body feel relaxed?
How about your mind?
Every time you find yourself listening to your monkey chatterbox thoughts remind yourself there is no need to judge,
just return your focus back to your breath, and cycle your heart out to a state of peace and calm.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only
thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead
The positive energy created whilst cycling a heart shaped route is a fun, active and powerful way to follow your heart. Your heart routes don't need to be perfect, neither do they have to go along the most scenic paths… because neither does life, it's full of unpredictable surprises. However, if you pursue your passion with all the love in your heart, you will stumble across many delights along the way, allowing you to create your own masterpiece in life.

"I think Heart Shaped rides are a brilliant way to inspire people to cycle their hearts out" -

"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 can truly relate to that message, as I ventured my home in Croatia, once I finished High School, at the age of 18, some 18 year ago now, and after some short travelling I settled in the UK where I worked, studied, cycled, met people,experienced relationships and the valuable roller-coaster of life lessons. My dreams of learning the english language, cycling, teaching and meeting inspiring people has totally worked and I have every intention to keep doing what I love and I believe that it is possible to make your dreams come true.
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." -
