Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
The local advocacy organization, Bike Lexington, is making incredible progress in making our city more bike friendly. Their monthly “2nd Sunday” events are great! Last month we got to spend the day on our new runway at the Bluegrass Airport!
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Lexington, KY. We have the World Equestrian Games coming in September so the city is creating many more bike trails. The Legacy Trail is under construction and will take riders from downtown all the way out to The Kentucky Horse Park. Beautiful scenery.
Why do you love riding in the city?
You see so much more on a bike than in a car.

NAME: Votske Fuccit
LOCATION: Arnhem, The Netherlands
OCCUPATION: Unemployed
Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Arnhem, a small city in the Netherlands most people might know from the WWII movie, A Bridge Too Far. It’s a nice and hilly city to ride in, enough hills to bomb and lots of spots to do tricks. You can get anywhere you need to be in less than 30 minutes.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Paris, no doubt about that! The traffic is so intense, and unlike here in the Netherlands, you’re actually part of the traffic in Paris, dodging cars, mashing on highways. It’s a real thrill!
Why do you love riding in the city?
Since I don’t have a car, or driver’s license, I have no other choice than to ride my bike. Even if I go to other cities, I still take my bike with me, you can see so much more when riding your bike, and can get everywhere so much quicker than walking, and you don’t need to find a parking spot for your car! Besides all the handy points, riding your bike is healthy! It keeps my body in shape and keeps you in touch with the traffic surrounding you. Just go with the flow!
