This feels like advice from a patient friend. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

This is adorable and oddly motivating. The surprising part is easy to underestimate.

That last line is excellent. I am curious whether bikes still feels good next month. The best gear is the one that gets used.

I would push back gently on the spot part. The 4-minute rule is underrated.

Excellent timing; I was just thinking about spot. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near a coworking table.
