I Love Riding in the City

Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I just recently moved from San Francisco to Providence, RI. It’s beautiful and hectic riding in this city. There are gnarly potholes and horrible drivers everywhere, but it’s part of the fun for me. This place is gorgeous, tons of old architecture, and a fair amount of urban decay, which I think is beautiful. Not really knowing too many people here, I have found that other cyclists are really very friendly. Just run into someone and strike up a conversation super easy. It’s refreshing.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
San Francisco has a giant place in my heart for all things, especially riding. I am back and forth quite often, so I’d have to say it is a loose tie. Providence and SF have their own respective charms when it comes to cycling. Shouts to my SF bike homies, my Santa Rosa bike friends, LUCE Goods, and my Providence bike friends, as well as DASH in Providence...
Why do you love riding in the city?
There is always stuff happening, you have to stay on your toes. I like the hustle.
