For reference, I have asthma, joint pain, social anxiety, and depression.
Exercise is great, yeah, but ADHD and capitalism make it difficult to schedule, plan for, adapt, and undergo.
The parasomnia means I can't guarantee being rested enough to drive to class on time.
I think technically you're not supposed to cycle either, if you're not rested / sober enough, but I take mild issue with that.
A bicycle is NOT capable of causing as much damage as a damn car, even a tiny Smart ForTwo car.

(Obv this won't help if you have severe joint issues, unsafe roads, or lack storage for it, but still. Fantastic commute option, personally. Just needs a rain canopy that somehow survives harsh English winds and we'd be laughing all the way to the bank. Of a very pretty river.)

Cycling to work and a swim in the lake on the way. Air 4°C, water ~8°C.
Guess need to delete now then the hashtag 'winterswimming'.

Muss jetzt wohl dann die Hashtags 'Winterschwimmen' und 'Kaltbaden' löschen.

Wondered this morning if I skip swimming. It was OK then.

Dachte zuerst, heute das Bad auszulassen. Es war dann ganz gut.

Finally, I could see the mountains again.

Returned 24 hours earlier from 3 weeks in tropical climate. Walking into the lake was a challenge today.

Bin seit 24 Stunden von drei Wochen in den Tropen zurück. In den See zu gehen war heute herausfordernd.

The #Frostpendeln2024 season closes with 2,246 km (1,395 mi) over 74 trips from Nov. 1 to Feb. 28. The community and enthusiasm of @frostpendeln are so motivating and uplifting. A big Thank You to Tobi and the other organizers who make this happen. I look forward to next season. Perhaps there will be a team for North America?
