But such was not the case.

Focus op de ervaring van het samen zijnAls je de snellere van het stel bent, gaat de snelheid vaak onbewust omhoog. Maar als je ook in de toekomst samen wilt fietsen, moet je een systeem bedenken waarin jij niet altijd gefrustreerd bent en je partner niet altijd total loss is. De beste manier om dit te bereiken is door je verwachtingen voor de rit aan te passen en je alleen te focussen op het plezier van samen op pad zijn.

“Hybrid” bikes straddle the line between mountain and road bikes. Traditionally, they bring together the flat, wide handle bars of a mountain bike with the skinnier tires you’d find on something made for pavement. This combo creates a quick bike that’s easy to handle and maneuver when in traffic or on a local multi-use trail. However, wide tires feel great when bouncing over rough city roads.

Pregnancy is hard but I can't rave enough about the rare experience of being pregnant with a partner who already has. It's so nice to have someone on hand to field questions, validate how much it sucks, and explain that the baby is just hiccuping and not pulsating out a red alert
