Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live outside of the capital Budapest and have to work in the city so I ride every day to Budapest and back. It’s not easy to ride without dedicated bike routes but I own a fast bike and have learned to be immune to traffic. It’s definitely much faster to ride a bike than travel by bus or car.

What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
It was Darmstadt in Germany because they have separated some of the normal road for bikers and the whole driving culture is very patient and intelligent.

Why do you love riding in the city?
Oh yes! It is the fastest way to move and makes me really happy and fit.

Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city…
It’s the feeling of pure freedom—you can move forward everywhere where at least a bit of asphalt exists. Cars, trucks, traffic lights, signs... You can ignore everything and just move forward. Perharps flying would be better but on the ground there is no other solution in the city for me.
