I Love Riding in the City

NAME: Coolassmike
LOCATION: LA / NYC
OCCUPATION: Giver of Bikes

Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Los Angeles and the Bronx. I ride both cities but prefer NYC. LA is newly populated with a lot of cyclists so it’s suffering from growing pains right now. Police don’t like the cyclists. Drivers don’t like the cyclists. Cyclists don’t like either one. And nobody is used to sharing the road. It’s fun for me, but dangerous for most.

What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
NYC is like a virtual video game. Your senses are on high alert at all times. There is a rhythm to the city that you can become a part of. Once you do, it’s like flowing water down the Nile!

Why do you love riding in the city?
It’s like a metaphor for life.

Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city…
Go where the car was!
