Can we talk about the underrated side of commuting that actually stuck

Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where bikes stopped feeling new.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. My only addition is to make the first step visible. Tactics are half the fun when nobody is shouting.

That is a much better way to say it.

I think this advice is overrated. The social part surprised me too.
