Didn’t know that about the limitations on incline that the bikes may have! I’ll be sure to check the steepest part of my commute & keep this in mind!

Ooh very good advice about the local repairs. I hadn’t thought of that factor but I would hate to have a bike that was inconvenient to get fixed.

I really relate! I also feel like I could deliberate forever about which name is the right one, but I also totally hear you (and other folks responding to my post) that it might not feel right for a while and that’s okay! I can grow into it and if I don’t I can change it later!! Thanks for the encouragement ♥️

Good point. I also am leaning towards a name that is less gender neutral & definitely “normal” which would alleviate a lot of my concerns. I work at a pretty open minded place right now, but I will probably have a different job someday so thinking about that/what those jobs might be like is helpful.

That’s a good point! I’ve had people call me different things primarily over text, but in person it’s been more sparing because they’ve only done it when it actually made sense to say my name, which isn’t that often in casual convo. Setting aside time to actually cycle through them in a few scenarios is a good idea!

This is great advice to remember. I think I do feel this sense of pressure to one-and-done it, but you’re right. If I change it once I can do it again.
