| I Love Riding in the City
NAME: Morgan Gleave
LOCATION: Fleckney, Leicestershire, UK
OCCUPATION: Assistant Librarian, Graphic Designer, Illustrator
Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
I live in the countryside, about five miles from the nearest city, so I use country lanes to commute. Leicester is the big city, and the street and park riding is dope!
What’s been your favorite city to ride in, and why?
So far, Guildford, Surrey, UK. Big hills, cobblestones and dropoffs—super fun!
Why do you love riding in the city?
You never know what you’re going to find next, and it’s great reinterpreting buildings, etc. as a riding playground... It confuses pedestrians to no end!
I have also attached some art for you to enjoy... Street inspired!
NAME: Gustar Mono
LOCATION: Bandung, Indonesia
OCCUPATION: Life-long bike racer wannabe, Government agent
Where do you live and what’s it like riding in your city?
Indonesia’s cycling scene is very young, yet Bandung has its own atmosphere. Riders range from cruisers to racer-wannabes, but we all get along. Despite its hilly terrain, many people ride everywhere. Also the climate is nice. Almost everyone knows everybody here, so we don’t have many problems with other road users—they probably know us, or know someone else who does.
What’s been your favorite city to ride in, and why?
In my limited experience, the vibe of riding in Bandung is unlike riding in any other town.
Why do you love riding in the city?
The rush, the feeling of pure power. Here, many people use 125cc mopeds despite their limited competency. Beating those mopeds at the green light sure is irreplaceable.
Poetry anyone?
Fuel for power they say, why I beat them on the green?
Meet a friend on the way; let’s talk instead of wave hello.
Hiss of tires and sound of chain on mine
Giant vibrator of theirs, stuck on traffic
So, goodbye, and see you later.
