Ride an e-scooter
An e-scooter has speed without effort, and that is exactly what makes it hard. The body gets no signals about pace from the legs, and when something appears there is less time than it feels. The pictures below make the preparations clear.

About this visual support
On a bike the legs report how fast you are going. On an e-scooter there is no such feedback: the speed comes from a throttle, the body stands still, and the pace is therefore almost always underestimated. At the same time the wheels are small, which makes gravel, kerbs and wet leaves matter far more than they do on a bicycle.
Visual support makes the preparations a fixed part of riding rather than something skipped when there is a hurry. Helmet, check the brake, look ahead. A row that always looks the same means the steps stay in place even when friends are already waiting.
A concrete tip is to decide in advance where the speed comes down, at a particular lamp post for example. A fixed landmark works better than an instruction to ride calmly. In Routined the preparations can sit as a few steps before the outing, and the app can be tried for fourteen days at no cost.
