I Love Riding in the City

NAME: Tommy Riemenschneider
LOCATION: Long Beach, NY
OCCUPATION: Electrician

Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?

I live in the city of Long Beach, NY. Long Beach is amazing, it’s a beautiful place to live and ride. You can see people pedaling all sorts of wild rides anything from really, really tall bikes to pimped out beach cruisers. It’s a lot of fun riding in my ‘hood.

What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?

Long Beach, NY. Riding in Long Beach is a blast, we have a 2.5 mile boardwalk with a really wide bicycle lane with plenty of bike racks outside the local hangouts and for the most part the local drivers watch out/share the road and even yield to riders! Long Beach is completely flat so riding fixed is a breeze. I love ripping down the boardwalk on my track bike at night in the dead of winter, there is not a soul out around and I can pedal as hard as I can.

Why do you love riding in the city?

I love riding in the city because I can get anywhere I need to go really fast.

Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city…

There is nothing in this world that I enjoy more than riding my bicycles with my two daughters. We are all crazy about our bicycles in my family. Ride on!
