Having moved from England to Atlanta, GA on a 3-year assignment 25 years ago, and then on retiring moving to Florida, I could not go back to live through English winters. We visit for three months each year, and love to do that, but when the weather turns grey, back we come to FL where we have year-round biking. Yes, it gets hot, but we bike early or late and only feel really hot when we stop.
There is no state income tax and sales tax is 7%, but property taxes are quite high. Well, they have to get revenues from somewhere.
Roads are good (not much frost, here!) and there are plenty of bike lanes, but drivers are a bit dozy and turn signals are a rarity.
It's good to get out to some hills now and again, so last weekend's GA Tandem rally was a challenging change.
