First long-distance ride on my Kona Libre EL! (Yokohama, Japan)

I’m a disabled veteran with some lower extremity issues, and for years I wasn’t sure cycling was in the cards for me. Enter the Kona Libre EL. part bike, part miracle machine. Took it out for my first long-distance ride around Yokohama and I’m equal parts sore and stoked.

Honestly didn’t think I’d ever be the kind of person who says stuff like “the gravel was fast today,” but here we are.

Huge thanks to e-bikes for leveling the playing field (and to my legs for only partially quitting on me.)
