CYCLING FOR TAOISTS

The bike that can be ridden is not the true Bike. The bike that has no wheels is the way to the understanding of the Tao. The bike with no handlebars is the signpost to the understanding of the way of the Tao. The bike with no rider is the Tao. Therefore the sage learns how to pedal without pumping and to reach the end of the journey before setting out. In summer he breathes through his nose and keeps his mouth shut. Thus he swallows no flies.
