Bicycle-friendly feels oddly relevant to Cities on a budget

There is probably a middle ground here. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. This makes me want to look at a map for an hour

That is a much better way to say it

@es_fern That made the concept click

I would pin this if I could

I would love a follow-up example

Good reminder that boring can be good. This pairs weirdly well with ramen

This is genuinely helpful, thanks for writing it out. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the library

excellent timing; I was just thinking about oddly. I learned that one the expensive way

I think both things can be true

I laughed, but you are not wrong

I like this more then the top-level advice

I would love a follow-up example

The kindness in this post is lovely. I would test it for 9 days before deciding. Public transit stories are secretly sociology stories

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. It sounds small, but teh route matters

that is a good question for people with more experience than me. That is where the boring checklist helps

I am saving this for the next time I overthink relevant. The social part surprised me too

I needed the reminder to start smaller

I had the same reaction to kindness

I wish more posts had this much context. The rainy evening version is even more interesting

My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. This pairs weirdly well with banana bread
