my handle is razaman, and I've been on extended assignment here in my home state of California, have been living in Looziana since '03. Here in Cali have noticed the number of riders on the streets and the relatively pro-bike vibe on the streets. Unfortunately in Baton Rouge, there are many streets where there doesn't seem to be any room for bikes, and the weather, forgeddaboutit. But I am looking at riding vintage road steel and getting back on the road, here and in Looziana.
