Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in downtown Tampa on the Hillsborough River. I’ve lived here most of my life. There is one bike lane in downtown that everyone uses, so that’s how I meet most people on the road. Downtown Tampa is built much like New Orleans, because many Italians moved to Tampa from New Orleans in the early 1920’s. There’s a lot of mafia history here, it’s neat.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Austin, Texas! Art, music, bikes galore, Tex-Mex, good people, and more music!
Why do you love riding in the city?
When I travel to cities while touring, I bring my bike and wander up and down the streets. I get a much better perspective of a foreign place when I’m on my bike. It just feels right and natural. Cities create some of the best stories to bring back home.
