I Love Riding in the City

OCCUPATION: GIS Mapping
Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
Oakland is a great place to ride. Like most of the Bay Area there is a ridgeline of parkland with trails and excellent road rides. The city has a semi spoked road pattern that starts downtown and continues to the hills and into Berkeley. You can ride the waterfront clear to Richmond to the North. The terrain is easy and the streets are fun to navigate because it’s not a grid and you can traverse between all the different neighborhoods along interesting routes.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
The biggety O of course, the five and dime, Broakland.
Why do you love riding in the city?
It’s just so much faster than being in a car. My commute is short, just over three miles and I get to travel down the quiet tree lined beauty that is Trestle Glen, around Lake Merrit and into Downtown Oakland.

Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Bangkok, Thailand. In this city there is traffic all day and most drivers don’t care about bicycles, but it’s fun to ride here. If you can ride here I think you can ride anywhere on earth.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Bangkok because I live here—it’s dangerous but I am very happy to ride in this city.
Why do you love riding in the city?
I love to ride everywhere but because of my job and my life I have to stay in city all the time, riding makes me happy.
Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city… Poetry anyone?
If you love to ride just ride, don’t think much, enjoy riding.
