> Motorway is an hour out from where I live. Each tweak meant hopping on the bike and carving out hours to test.
It's easier said than done, but you might want to approach this like a data science project. Record the data from your test runs, annotate the behaviour you want, and build up a dataset. You should be able to experiment with any number of tweaks (admittedly except for the data sampling itself) without having to get back on the bike.
giant_fern | 2 years ago | on: How to Be More Agentic
Self-confidence is helpful alongside agency, but I think it's a totally different concept.
Agency is about self-awareness and realizing that you have a choice. Lack of agency means going along with the default, societal script or what is handed to you even if it is not a good option for you.
One example is dropping out of a university program, even if you are capable of graduating. There is a strong social expectation that you finish, but maybe you don't like it, or your time is better spent elsewhere. Agency is that realization that you can choose.
