I Love Riding in the City

NAME: Tina Tru aka Tinaballs

LOCATION: San Jose, CA

OCCUPATION: Elementary School Teacher

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

I live in San Jose. It’s amazing and fun to ride around downtown with SJFixed. I can actually say I’m thankful and appreciate the fact that I live really close to downtown. There aren’t any hills at all but it’s a nice area to chill and tarck around all day/night. We have awesome shops (IMinusD) located downtown that just opened, city lights, tall buildings, a human size monopoly board, museums, and beautiful parks and trails to ride through.

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

As of lately, I would have to say San Francisco. I love the city! I love to ride around crazy small streets with busy cars and buses all around. It’s also a great feeling to climb the hills out there. It gives me an extremely exciting and heart-racing feeling that makes me just want to smash through all the red lights. I know it’s very dangerous, especially if I don’t have a helmet on, but I’m a daredevil. I’m looking forward to riding in New York City in the springtime with a couple of friends. It will be my first time there so I hope that experience goes well. I’m super stoked and can’t wait!

Why do you love riding in the city?

I love mashing through the lights at night, I enjoy passing up all the cars in traffic, and being surrounded by tall buildings. I dislike the careless drivers and drunk people screaming nonsense. But I would rather be on a bike and stop global warming than in a car stuck in traffic and trying to find parking.

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

Life is like riding a bicycle—in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving. –Albert Einstein
