Meet the Girl on the Bike
Hi, I’m Nesli. I started this blog to share stories from my rides, tips from the road, and lessons I’ve learned exploring new places. Each journey reminds me how much there is to see, learn, and experience when you step outside your comfort zone.

Things People Ask Me
Do you ride every day?
Almost. But lately, it’s been more on my scooter than my bike.
It doesn’t quite give the same flow… but it still gives me freedom, and that’s something.
What kind of bike do you ride?
Depends on the mood – sometimes an urban bike, sometimes the scooter wins.
Freedom comes in many forms.

Probably not. I kinda stopped recording to focus on the moment more…
Miami or NYC?
Hehe… so many ask this.
Miami, baby. I’m so in love with it here.

The ride isn’t just about the road - it’s about everything it stirs inside us.
I send occasional notes, stories, and small reminders to keep moving - in your own way, at your own pace. Nothing fancy. No spam. Just honest words and moments from my journey.
If that sounds like something you’d enjoy,
come ride along.
