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

I live in Subang Jaya, Malaysia. The city of Kuala Lumpur is 40 km away. My city is really hot during the day—34 Celsius on average—and very humid. So we mostly ride at night. We have crazy traffic, no bike lanes, rude drivers and a lot of potholes.

Why do you love riding in the city?

The culture and the things to see at night. My mum doesn’t know I have a bike, so I cant ride near my house (the city is dangerous).

Poetry anyone?

Kuala Lumpur the city full of desires,

riding past fat policemen and crazy drivers,

potholes and rude taxi cabbers,

yet my love for this city is totally endless.

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

I live in Salinas, California. Nothing too fancy around here except the Steinbeck Center I suppose. But riding around town is always a fun time; tons of interesting people you can see, and many of the roads here are pretty smooth. Drivers are a little on the dangerous side though (texting, eating, “California rolls”).

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

I’d have to say that Santa Cruz is my favorite city to ride in. Haven’t ridden in too many cities yet, but Santa Cruz has tons of hilly roads that are fun to shoot down and climb up.

Why do you love riding in the city?

I love riding in the city because I love to just weave in and out of traffic, drafting off of cars, and passing them up. It’s laughs to see some of their pissed-off faces as I pass them up while they sit in one place. Traffic is the best.
