Ride the line. If effort spikes, ease back into the rhythm — don't push through.

No stairs, no stiles. Continuous smooth surface, curb cuts throughout, gentle gradients under 3%. Long line — rest points every 2–3 km recommended for wheelchair users.

Because moving beside water borrows its willingness — the current does part of the settling for you.
