Jonathan Krathen

I am a third year medical student in New York City, planning to specialize in emergency medicine.  New York is a great city for cycling because of race venues like Central Park, and great training rides along the Hudson River. The Category 3 races in the area are super fast, and require a lot of strategy to do well.  I'm hoping Velocite products will give me the edge I need to upgrade to Category 2.  For the upcoming Tour of the Battenkill (Roubaix-style race), Velocite's Noir wheels are going to be my secret weapon.

City: New York
Country: USA
Discipline: Road biking

When I'm not cycling, I am studying and helping run my school's American Medical Association chapter as its vice-president. I'm also involved in community health programs in Harlem, such as asthma/diabetes screenings.
