I Love Riding in the City
NAME: Jonas Winn
LOCATION: Moline, IL
OCCUPATION: Bicycle Mechanic
Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in Moline, IL and am currently riding across the country. It’s technical, beautiful, harsh in climate and delightful riding in my hometown, and I can say the same for the USA.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
The Quad Cities of Iowa/Illinois! Because this is home, it is life, it is me, and it is Midwest America through and through.
Why do you love riding in the city?
I love it for the challenge, the pace, the noise and the influence that I have of showing how to commute by bicycle.
Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city… Poetry anyone?
The city is great, if you have what it takes. The drivers honk at you until their faces are blue. The wind in your hair and the tear in your jeans. The drivers are mean, but you know what it means. To keep the air clean and your toned muscles lean. You have what it takes to make the ride great, through love or hate the message you make, that you’re on the road and you follow a code of cyclist pride, you will ride ‘till you die.
