The coffee shop in downtown Cocoa gets a big lift from every club ride. They have an outside service window, so it's easy to lean the bike on the wall and sit outside. A couple local shops know me and let me bring the bike inside, so I go back often. Beyond that, I'm lucky to even find a bike rack.

Gainesville, on the other hand, is very bike friendly, with accomodations like: trails, bike lanes, racks, underpasses, overpasses... It's obvious from the bikes outside every business that they all benefit.



Great photo.
