‘Terminator’, or ‘Mean Machine’ – I’m okay with both.
Why do you ride your bike?
It does help to be more positive about many things ๐ I am pursuing the concept of: saving the environment; better air quality; living a healthy lifestyle; meeting nice people; exercising , at the same time, using my bike as main transport mode to get to new clients / visit ongoing projects (no trains, no buses, no uber).
Favourite place to ride?
Not going to say Regents Park:) will go for Swains Lane.
