This is the first story originated from our new home for Bike Hugger Magazine on Medium and provided free—no paywall—by our friends at Tern Bicycles.
Of course, I want to earn subscription money for the story, but also know paywalls aren’t an easy sell. So each month we’re offering up one free article sponsored by our partners like Tern and hopefully that’ll encourage you to sign up at Medium and unlock a membership.
Membership costs $5/month and gets you our content ad-free and access to other leading media outlets with news analysis, original reporting, and opinion features.
