This sounds sensible, though I would need to test it myself. It sounds small, but the routine matters.

Agree completely. The simple version is underrated. My friend tried it in Melbourne and had the opposite result.

Can you share what you tried before this? The ambitious part is easy to underestimate.

The vibe here is immaculate. The commute version is even more interesting.
