Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
Grenoble is a very nice place to ride, perhaps because this is one of the flattest towns in France. We have plenty of cycle lanes through the city and the commuter community is growing. Riders are well served by an association called p’tit velo dans la tête (little bike in my head) which provides a place to learn how to fix bikes and borrow tools.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
I will always remember Glasgow, Scotland because it was the first time I rode a fixed gear bike. The larger the city is, the more I appreciate riding in it.
Why do you love riding in the city?
I just hate wasting my time in the traffic jam. Riding a bike is the most efficient way to move through the city for me. It helps me to balance my state of mind.
