Katie, Paulina at I-290 bridge, Chicago, IL.

Katie rides a Soma Double Cross built with TLC by Marcus at Yojimbo’s Garage

I caught up with Katie after her nursing shift and asked her a few questions:

Why do you ride? 

Because I am in love.  I love the peaceful, graceful and animal like feelings I get when on the saddle.
What is your favorite ride?  
I enjoy my commute, especially this particular spot. For whatever reasons it brings me to account everyday to what is important in life.  Biking helps me manage the stressful and emotional side of nursing.  Along the ride, I smile at people and enjoy the now.
