Portrait #8: Andrea Reimer
We’re pleased to introduce Andrea. Learn why she is excited to start riding Mobi!
Why are you a founding member of Mobi?
As a transit dependent Vancouverite who goes to upwards of a dozen meetings and events many days, the idea of being able to move quicker (and cheaper!) on the connections at the end of a skytrain or B-line ride is really exciting. It’s frustrating when you have a fast efficient transit system that leaves you a 20 minute run in heels from the neighbourhood places and spaces you’re trying to get to off the main arterials,
Why do you love to ride?
You know, I actually like transit and walking the best because they give me the time to stop and talk and really be at the ground level of community. But if you need fast, efficient and flexible routing, biking is amazing. Plus it helps my soccer game to get the thigh workout on some of these hills.
Where are you going to go on your first ride?
Ha! Already done. Predictably….first trip was done without any premeditation and as a result of a panicked rush to get to an event which was a little further from skytrain than I remembered and a lot further in the heels I had on! It took some patience to get through activating the card but once that was done….AMAZING! I want a bumper sticker that says “You had me at unlocked”.
