I Love Riding in the City

Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live and go to college in Savannah, GA. Savannah is where I got into biking and I love riding here. The city is spread out but traffic can get crazy downtown so it’s a nice combination. For the most part it’s laid back but rush hour can get pretty intense and I love the adrenaline rush I get when I’m riding on the double yellow, passing cars on both sides. I love mashing through traffic, biking to class, and riding around the city late at night doing freestyle.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Savannah is really the only city I’ve ridden in since I didn’t get into biking until I came to college. I’d really like to ride in a bigger city like New York City or San Francisco and my roommates and I are hoping to bike fixed across the country from Savannah to San Francisco in a couple of years after we graduate.
Why do you love riding in the city?
I love riding in the city because it’s the fastest way to get from one point to another. Even when I have a class that’s a few miles away I can usually get there before someone in a car. Sometimes I try to take it easy and bike slow to class but I always find myself speeding up and out of breath by the time I get to where I’m going. There’s just nothing like it.
