Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?

My commute to work is 9 miles along Lake Washington which is very scenic and has only one mild climb. I have lived in Seattle for 10 years and I love the cycling community. I build, repair and restore motorcycle and bicycle frames under my own name—David Wilson Industries.

What’s been your favorite city to ride in, and why?

I really like riding in Chicago. There are wide streets and boulevards bisecting through interesting neighborhoods; the lakefront is remarkable; they have fantastic architecture; and the city government is wholly behind bicycles as transportation. A perfect place for cargo bikes!

Why do you love riding in the city?

In Seattle I like the quiet residential areas with good climbing and a large variety of terrain. There are many small parks and green spaces through out the area; Discovery Park, with it’s incredible views of Puget Sound, is a great place to explore at night. The weather here is very conducive to year round riding, but I’d recommend full fenders in the winter!
