Shopping around: Tai Chi vs. Buddhism vs. Beach Cruiser Philosophy

[His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher]

Supposed you were shopping around for RELAXATION & WISDOM, what are
the three main paths to enlightenment?

Buddhism is good but you don't move, and Tai Chi needs a teacher and
mental discipline. Beach Cruiser Philosophy, on the other hand,
embraces the beach cruiser and the hammock. What can be better than
riding a bike away from traffic and later resting on a hammock? Notice
you need a tree like Buddha to complement happiness.

Today is Tai Chi Day, which is the reason I write this, but we must
say every day is good to ride a bike. I leave you with a nice relaxing
view of the Netherlands...

[My Philosophy not always finds friendly place to ride. But hey, it's
not my fault!]

Hey, let me tell about my adventures last night and how I got to see
the last part of the show:

(there are good news and bad news, first the bad news)

We loaded the bicycles on the car... and the car wouldn't start.
Staying in the cage is NOT an option. PLAN B: ride the bikes on the
dangerous grinding sidewalks to South Beach. It is said there's only
one thing more dangerous than riding on sidewalks: riding on sidewalks
AGAINST traffic, but it was the only solution from 65 ST to 23 ST. It
was grinding and dangerous and we found ourselves STUCK WITH
PEDESTRIANS and RIDING HEAD-ON against traffic at times. NO MORE!!! I
shouted at some passerbys, "Sorry, no place to ride on the road!" but
a lady thought I was drunk instead of frustrated --a comment my
girlfriend in the back was able to hear. Next time I just bump them.

Well, we enjoyed the Tragic Symphony without a tragedy. We relaxed and
were happy to be alive, and the outdoor performance is something we
have to commend the city for. The palm trees moving in the wind lends
a dramatic effect to the symphonic effect --or so it seems to me.

Now everything went uphill --not downhill-- from there. We went to a
restaurant and pigged out --something only a good bicycle ride could
help. True to the Wisdom of the Jungle, we kept looking for a hidden
path --something not exactly made for it-- and we found it...
