The peaceful angle is what sold me. Recovery is training too.

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.

This is one of those ideas that looks great online and falls apart on Tuesday. That is the kind of detail beginners miss.

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.

I would push back gently on the peaceful part. My friend tried it in Buenos Aires and had the opposite result.

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