Cycling · by Martina Fernández · 2026-09-01

A surprisingly useful lesson from the train station

I started this because my quiet Sunday felt a little stuck, and routes seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. The awkward part is easy to underestimate. A tailwind can fix an entire personality for ten minutes.
