I Love Riding in the City
NAME: Adrienne Johnson
LOCATION: San Francisco, CA
OCCUPATION: Physical Therapist Assistant
Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
San Francisco is where I live, which makes me very lucky, indeed! Riding here is a little bit of everything—calm and idyllic in Golden Gate Park, wild and urban on Market Street, cool and fast on the Waterfront, steep and challenging in the Presidio… there is a little bit of everything.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
San Francisco, for sure. It is the perfect place to start a ride. You can use your bike to start in SF and end in Marin, or Berkeley, or Vallejo, or Hayward…
Why do you love riding in the city?
In 30 minutes I can be almost anywhere—North Beach or Downtown or the Mission or Ocean Beach or Daly City. Going anywhere I see people I know riding along. Best of all, despite living here since I was 2, there is always something new for me to discover (while trying to find the “flatter” way to where I am going).
Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city… Poetry anyone?
My kids are getting the opportunity to learn their city first hand. There is no filter between them and where they live and the best gift you can give a child is the ability to feel like the world is their own.
