“I think [bicycling] has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. I stand & rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel. It gives woman a feeling of freedom & self-reliance. It makes her feel as if she were independent. The moment she takes her seat she knows she can’t get into harm unless she gets off her bicycle & away she goes, the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.”

The plan is to invest in my fitness and have a new sporty bike for commuting. (20km a day - 100km a week)

75% outside tarmac & bike paths the 25% city.

Currently there are two bikes I have tested and liked, the bike shop unusually go to recommended the a little cheaper Merida - but it would come with battery lights.

Any recommendations from #bike nerds?

#notDrivingMyCar stats for January 2023. Miles not driven: 190. Miles driven: 30 (small hybrid car airport drop-off for international travel, person with 2 giant suitcases and 2 carry on bags -- couldn't find good alternative for that one 🙂 ).
