I Love Riding in the City

What’s your favorite city to ride in?
Whenever I travel I like to network ahead of time and find a bike to borrow. Especially in New York, Boston, Seattle. I’ve had some pretty amazing bike rides in the Pacific Northwest.

Why do you love riding in the city?
It’s exhillerating. It’s so exhilarating that I can’t even spell the word correctly. And I’m chubby and aging so the exercise is a great thing, too.

Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city...
I’m working on a couple short movies about biking. One recollects my experience running over what appeared to be a plastic bag on the shoulder during rush hour. It had been raining a lot earlier that day, and I had no room to avoid it. But what I ran over was a water-logged diaper. Disgusting. Diaper gel exploded all over me, my bicycle. Splattered my face. Nasty.
