I Love Riding in the City

OCCUPATION: Computer Specialist
Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Padua, near Venice in Italy. Riding in the city center is nice and fun, but we have to pay attention to the bicycle. You have to never leave your bicycle unlocked or you will never find it. It will change owners...
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
I like to ride in new cities all the time. We go by car and then we dismount the bicycles and we will start to ride in the new city. Looking for hidden places just a bit outside of the path of all the other tourists.
Why do you love riding in the city?
Because you will remember much more about a place if you visit it by bicycle. You can smell the air and hear the voices and the noises around. It’s much more in contact with the other people.
Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city…
Just ride and enjoy...

OCCUPATION: TV Editor
Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Tlalpan in Mexico City, and I ride everyday to everywhere I have to go. I like it because my relationship with the city has changed for the better. I know my times for commuting no matter the traffic or anything else.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Mexico City is my favorite city to ride in because it is where I ride all the time. It is a very nice city with a lot of trees, excellent weather, not many hills, and in some areas like downtown it is the only way to move about.
Why do you love riding in the city?
Because I feel free and I feel better with myself, the environment and my health. I meet a lot of nice people and save lots of money and time, and I feel safer and closer to the people in the city.
Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city…
The bike is a great tool for the change of mentality that the world needs now.
