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

I live in Greater London. Riding in the city is a lot of fun, as long as you are switched on at all times. Riding defensively is the only way to ride when you have to contend with pedestrians who can appear from nowhere, buses that are everywhere, and black cabs, who don’t seem to want to see you.

What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?

Thanks to my job, I’ve managed to ride in a lot of great cities—Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Sao Paulo and a fair few others—but Paris is really hard to beat. Riding up the Champs-Élysées late at night is pretty special.

Why do you love riding in the city?

I love it because, as crazy as it can be, I find it relaxing, I know exactly how long it’ll take me to get from point A to point B and it keeps me fit.

Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city… Poetry anyone?

When you nod your head at a fellow cyclist, and they nod back at you...
