Cycling in the slower lane.

About Us

Mindful (Adjacent)

We didn’t name this site “Zen Pedals” just because the term “Zen” sounds chill! I am decidedly not a Zen teacher but do try to practice, though I frequently fail! Here are some posts related to mindfulness, Zen…or just trying to help yourself be more accepting. It’s something I need to work on related to cycling (and just about everything else!)

Sign up for our email newsletters and we’ll keep you posted when we add new content or find something we think is interesting.

Recipes

We post recipes on occasion. Our focus here is on healthy pescetarian or vegetarian recipes (or we’d like to think- we’ve been known to post delicious but not necessarily healthy recipes. Cycling burns off calories, we tell ourselves.)

Website News & Announcements

Occasionally, we post a website update. Here’s our latest.

Favorite Enroute Cycling Spots Map

This is a map of various things we or members have found on our cycling adventures. It accepts user-generated markers. Read below the map for more information.

Posts Map

This is a map of any post in our regular posts section that has a specific location attached to it. Of course, this will mostly be routes.

Clicking the marker will open an info window with more information, and a link to, that post.

Content Map

Content map with markers that link to location-based posts on this website.

It includes anything to which we’ve specifically attached a location marker and is, unfortunately, not filterable by content type, so you might get routes, locations, events, “extras” posts of places we’ve been that aren’t exactly cycling related, etc.

Shop

Perhaps it’s not very “Zen” to focus on “stuff.” But we love our stuff. Our shop includes products we like that are sold offsite as well as occasional items that we make and sell ourselves. Here’s what’s recent or popular:
