Rider Bio/Interview - Natalie
So we are going to start doing short bios and interviews with our Cupcrank riders. Here is the first one!
Name: Natalie Newberry
Location: Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Current Ride: Motebecane conversion with Seafoam Green B43's
Website: Natalie's Vimeo
What type of riding do you do?
Typically I ride to school and pretty much everywhere except to work. Riding in full uniform would be ridiculous and hard. Then fun rides and such.
How long have you been riding for, and why did you get into riding?
I've been riding fixed for about half a year or so. Before that I rode a rad Felt road bike. When I was a kid I rode a lot too. I always had to have a new bike right away when I outgrew my current one. I think I went through four, haha. Once I hit high school I guess I felt too "grown up" to ride bikes in the neighborhood or something. Plus I didn't really have the time. I guess I got back into it my senior year when I met my lovely boyfriend Wayne, and all that lovey dovey shit. He hooked me up with my road bike. I fell right back in love with riding bikes.
What's your favorite thing about riding:
Riding is rather liberating. I'd rather be weaving through cars on my bike than sitting in traffic in a car. Riding a bike is just more fun, nuff said.
What's your favorite ride, route, or place to ride?
Riding around in Murfreesboro would have to be my favorite. When we ride around in traffic, it's fun to see peoples' reactions. I don't really think they know the traffic laws about riding with traffic, so they think we're in the wrong. I also like that the bike scene here is growing really rapidly. Bike Nites grew from 20 or so to 60 something FAST. Watching everyone get into it is awesome.
What's a random fact about you?
I play a mean tambourine.
