“For decades，cities around the world have said they’re too spread out，too cold，too hilly，too car-dependent to make cycling mainstream．Paris proves that narrative wrong．In the end，the French capital didn’t just build bike lanes—it built（the）belief（that change’s possible).”

It’s the year of the snake - a beautiful time for transformation, release, & renewal. 🐍 It can be hard sometimes to let go of habits or beliefs about ourselves that hold us back, but the gift of liberation that waits on the other side is worth it. Here’s to a year full of changemaking & progress. 🌑✨
