Redefine success as a balance between effort and renewal. Embrace that rest, recovery, and reflection are not interruptions but essential steps in your journey toward a fulfilling and joyful life. Every pause is progress, and every moment of care for yourself brings you closer to your goals.

Underrated story that bike share ridership is exploding across every North American system I follow (Toronto, Washington DC, Quebec City, etc.).
Ridership on Toronto's Bike Share system reaches new heights, with 7 million rides for the year! Up 23% from last year. This is due in part to the expansion of the system, but also additional safe infrastructure. Toronto is a cycling city!
