Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Birkirkara in Malta and I love riding in the city for many reasons; first of all it is faster than in a car and for the fun and healthy aspects of it. Also I love how much I am awake in the morning after a commute.

What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
The Sliema seafront, because it is extremely relaxing to ride on the front with the sound of the sea and the force of the wind trying to stop you.

Why do you love riding in the city?
Faster than cars, no parking problems.

OCCUPATION: Paralegal

Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Flushing, Queens. Land of the utilitarian bicycle and the Kissena velodrome. Riding around the neighborhood you will only find your old Chinese men and delivery people on bicycles. It’s a nice, relatively short 14 mile commute to downtown Manhattan, and the riding is fairly smooth. The traffic is usually respectful, due to the lack of bicycle riders, and it is a nice calm place to have a bicycle.

What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Manhattan, because it’s exhilarating riding through traffic. It’s like playing paperboy in real life, on crack.

Why do you love riding in the city?
Stress relief, going faster than cars, traffic doesn’t affect you, you can get away from the overcrowded trains, tight knit riding community.
