cycling
I didn't learn how to ride a bike until I was sixteen, but have come a long way since then. I started out in college biking around with a cheap used mountain bike I got from Craigslist. At the time, it was mostly a way of getting around without a car.
Then in 2020, while living in San Francisco, I got a nice shiny red single speed bike as a hand me down and fell in love with biking in SF. In 2022 I bit the bullet and bought a fancy new gravel bike, and since then have dabbled in longer rides in North Bay, and have even experimented with a little bit of bike touring with some ultra-light camping gear.
Cycling has really become an amazing way for me to feel more connected with my community. I've used it as a means of exploring different neighborhoods on weekends and mornings before work, and have found pockets of the city I never would've discovered otherwise. All this without having to worry about the pollution / environmental impact, AND while squeezing in a bit of exercise at the same time! I honestly can't imagine living in SF without my bike anymore.
If you want to follow more of my cycling adventures (most of which is just me exploring random parts of the city), check out my strava!
