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

I live and ride in downtown Saint Louis. The streets here on any given day are pretty scarce, but we’re working on our bike count. I ride a fixed Charge and I just think it’s the swellest adventure machine around. The river is right there and we’re a pretty spread out city when it comes to neighborhoods, which makes for fun cross town hauls.

Why do you love riding in the city?

I love riding in Saint Louis for a plethora of reasons, but my absolute number one would have to be tall cans on the riverfront. No matter how many times we may ride to the same spot, a new experience of fun and delight awaits those who made the journey. And let me tell you, sitting under a bridge by the water watching traffic pass on the overpass above... well that’s just shear bliss in this fella’s mind.
