About
I just moved from West 85th uptown to Washington Heights. I love to ride, but prefer daylight rides because my own night vision is really bad. I am a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician for Ridgewood (Queens) Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and I really enjoy helping people who are sick or injured. Email me at jqr10040@gmail.com
