What do you like most about riding your bike?
My favorite thing about riding my bike is definitely the free food. Sometimes while biking, I’ll yawn and swallow a few mosquitoes. On the days I skip breakfast, I try to yawn a lot. I think I swallowed a bee once. Also, once a year, there’s people lined up on the bike path handing out free breakfast burritos to cyclists.

Commuter.

What do you like most about riding your bike?
Driving in the city is frustrating and time consuming. It takes forever to go a short distance and when you finally get to your destination, you have to drive around looking for a parking spot that you probably have to pay for. When I ride my bike somewhere, I get there faster, with less stress, no negative impacts on the environment or my wallet, and a positive impact on my health! Biking is downright liberating!
What’s your cycling style?
I’m a hybrid of a lycracyclist and a cruiser girl. Depends on the day and the activity!
Gordon and Mackenzie
Due to “technical difficulties” these two road warriors weren’t able to make it in with their bikes, but we appreciated their participation anyway! Bonus: they still managed to avoid driving.
Gordon

I used to all the time. But my bike is in much-needed repair before another long ride.
How far?
When I do/did, about 2 miles one way.
What do you like most about riding your bike?
Great way to stay fit and get around relatively easy.

What do you like most about riding your bike?
Nothing, I hate riding bikes. It took me entirely too long to learn how (like really embarrassing long) as a child and now I just force myself to since I live in Colorado.
