Women Who Bike: Kay

June 21, 2010 7 Comments

BIKE NOPA & Bikes and The City have spun out a collaborative bike series, Women Who Bike. Each Monday and Wednesday, we will feature San Francisco women and their bicycles. Check both our blogs for the experiences, stories, and ideas that women who bike the city want to share with you.

Let us know your thoughts and leave comments for the featured riders!

Women Who Bike: Kay

How would you characterize your bicycling style?
K. I’m pretty slow and steady, for a few reasons. One of those being my bicycle is one of those heavy ones, but I love it anyway 🙂 The tortoise won against the hare right!

Something basic: how often do you bike and what for?
K. I bike every day, mostly to and from work, or to the BART station.

What could be done in SF to encourage more women, including teens and younger, to bike?
K. Maybe some sort of smashing advertisement where it shows the person in stages of being unhealthy through to being and looking fit, happy and glowing with health?

How many of your best dates/friendships started with biking?
K. None really started with biking, but I had a really good friend who I would go bike with along the river in Brisbane (Australia). I really miss those days.

Other little things:
– My favorite meal after a long ride (or in between) is:

K. Tuna salad.

– The best way to hydrate in between rides is:
K. I love sweet hot tea or just plain diet coke. The bubbles are very refreshing, though you cant beat ice cold water.

– A personal item I must have or bring while riding my bike
K. My camera. You never know what you may see on the way.

When was the last time you went to North Beach or anywhere near the north of the city? I have a tremendous case of the wanderlusting rides, so even if it means riding 20+ minutes, often times I will take the longer route and loop around from Hayes Valley, to the Panhandle and then thru Pac Heights to end up in North Beach for happy hour in the middle of the week. Sounds crazy, but our city to be about 7 miles square, often so square, that so frequently I hear my peers say that they don’t get out and explore the outside lands of their neighborhoods and districts or they usual route.

Show me some curiosity and let me know if you have taken a different route recently, doesn’t have to be long miles or crazy hilly distances. All it takes is making an intentional unusual turn and then you will see you will possibly encounter something interesting and rather new.

Next ‘unpopular‘ neighborhood: who knows? stay tuned.
