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

Well I live in Londinium in London Village UK. Riding in the city is a unique experience and changes with every turn and every drip of rain! No it’s great and I love the fact you are quicker than those polluting four-wheeled metal monsters of the highways and byways!

What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?

I guess I would have to say Barcelona due to the fact I have always rode there on a cruiser style bike and they are so relaxed and chilled to ride its makes the whole experience amazing! The city is great with the most stunning architecture and great facilities for bikes and bike riders.

Why do you love riding in the city?

It’s a challenge every time you saddle up and ride off into the sunset. Being able to swerve in and out of the near stationary traffic is a buzz! I love to cruise by the traffic and just watch the world go by.

Poetry anyone?

Cement carpet with yellow and white go faster stripes, they fade into one as I streak by on my two wheeled steed. As I weave in and out of the steel road monsters they chug their over-priced fuel induced smoke into the clean crisp winter morning air. One hour later and I am there, work... I count down the hours till I do battle again with those road beasts
