What’s your name?: Lily Wilcock
How long have you been riding a bicycle?: Since I was two or three. I stayed on my bike till I was about 16 and then picked it back up when I was 18. Been a commuter since 2007 and started bike racing in 2013.
Why do you ride a bicycle?: The freedom of riding anywhere I want, especially where the bus or the train won’t go. I love the city and I came back to bicycles because I moved to Chicago and wanted to explore every neighborhood. I love the exploration that happens when you ride your bike.
What type of riding do you do?: I love all the bikes- even the types of bikes I don’t own yet. I have the most experience with touring bikes and cyclocross bikes. Touring bikes are made for long-distance trip like car road trips.
Where is your favorite place to ride?: Minneapolis, Minnesota!
If you could have any Trek bicycle, what would it be?: Boone 9 Disc. Ride cyclocross bikes that are as rad as the races you race them in! Go big or go home!
Everyone loves Lily! You’ll never meet a little fiery ball of energy like this girl in the whole world. With an unmatched passion for cycling, she’ll make your visit to VCC worthwhile. She will also race you under the table. We love Lily!
