What’s your name?: Nic
How long have you been riding a bicycle?: I don’t remember learning to ride so I’m gonna say “As long as I can remember.”
Why do you ride a bicycle?: I used to ride because I was a kid with nothing to do in a small New England town. These days I try to justify my love of riding by saying stuff like “it keeps me active”, “it’s good for the environment”, “it saves me money”… blah blah blah… inside my real reason is that I am still that bored kid that just wants to ride a bike!
What type of riding do you do?: I mainly ride as a commuter and I really love cruisers and casual bikes… however within this pasty and flabby exterior resides the spirit of a mountain biker and I am only truly at home in the muddy trails on a pair of fat tires.
Where is your favorite place to ride?: Around Chicago, I love the North Branch Trail (Starting in Calwell Woods) as a way to escape the hustle and bustle of living in the city. My favorite trails are in my hometown back east the Exeter Town Woods in New Hampshire. Let’s just say my first will always be my favorite.
If you could have any Trek bicycle, what would it be?: The Stache 8 29er is calling my name right at the moment but usually I am gravitating toward the Remedy 26″ or 650b. I also really like the Crossrip series for a solid city bike, they really are the perfect blend of speed and utility.
If you are into comics, 90’s music, awkward humor, and wants some info in bikes, come talk to Nic. He’s nothing short of the nicest guy in the world.
