CU: What is your favorite part about Boulder as a city?
SA: I love the atmosphere. There's so much to see, all sorts of things to do, and great places to ride! I also like how many bike paths there are, the city is so accessible and there are always people outside!
CU: Biking is a big commitment time wise, how do you balance your academics and social life with cycling?
SA: My cycling, social life, and academics all fit hand in hand. Academics are definitely a priority but I like to stay busy. Juggling my interests helps keep me organized and focused in the other aspects of my life and has especially improved my time management skills.
