My old bike shop guy in Portland told me to stop riding so hard to work, took me 2 years to get it
I ran into Ray at his shop on SE Division last week, he sold me my first commuter back in 2019 and he asked why I still show up to the office looking wrecked. He pointed out that I was treating my ride like a race instead of a commute, and that slowing down by maybe 3 mph means way less sweat and I barely lose any time. I tried it for a week and he was right, plus I stopped needing a full shirt change. Has anyone else had to basically relearn how to ride slow after years of going all out?

Wait, you needed someone to tell you to slow down on a commute? Isn't that just common sense that less effort means less sweat?
