Huge Congrats! This will seem ridiculous in this current moment, but bear it in mind later:

You seem like a tall fella. Try to make time for some back stretches! There were nights where I’d change a diaper or soothe the kiddo to sleep and then not be able to stand upright. I’m only 5’11!

I mean, canals would be pretty awesome, though.

Gutted for you, man. That sucks hard.

Awesome! Great on you two for checking ahead!

I don’t know the details of your plan, but if that is an individual out of pocket max you may get surprised by more charges. When my daughter was born, they put a lot of the costs on HER name and her (separate) deductible. Also on a “pretty good” plan.

Been to Gouda twice without ever realizing they (temporarily, fortunately) wrecked their lovely town center like that!

I work near this intersection and see this bike frequently. Extra infuriating is that plans to add dedicated bike lanes on this road (north of this spot, but likely extendable in time) were killed out of nowhere despite being funded and after a completed, multi year review process.

Speaking of breaks in the network, and connecting to your core point, why does this path randomly stop?

He's probably too worried your name is actually "[signature]" and he's been calling you by the wrong name for years...

Hooray for Galbor Month!

I was pining for something like this at my commuter rail station just today! I’d bike most trips under 3 miles with this consistently waiting for me.

Alternative: right answer, wrong person to talk to

I would buy this as a poster for my future bike shed if anyone prints it.

It sucks bad. Sorry, man.

Can confirm. Was super easy to get from place to place, even when I had to leave my planned path. Well maintained rural cycling paths also blend transport with recreation: I got directions from a couple out for a day trip to a nearby city on a lovely Sunday through beautiful farmland.
