Bikes: Surly Cross-Check, '85 Giant road bike (unrecogizable fixed-gear conversion

Food --

Redrum Burger on Olive Drive.
The Hotdogger on E Street.
G Street Pub
For nicer food, try Little Prague (German-Czech) on G street or Symposium (Greek) on E 8th Street.

Bike Shops --

B&L - They don't sell many FG, but they can build them and talk about them. Nice staff, in my opinion.
Freewheeler -- Trek and Giant. Great selection of 24 speed comfort bikes.
Wheelworks -- Uber Roadie. They're nice about it though.
Ken's Bike and Ski - Good prices. Only shop that sells more than one brand of touring bike.
Davis Bike Exchange -- Grumpy jerk runs the place. Sells used crap and charges too much for it.
UCD Bike Barn - Where you go if you don't know how to inflate your tires.
There's also a bike coop called the Bike Church located in the Domes on Baggins End. Worth checking out if they are open.

Best shop around for FG is Bicycle Business in Sacramento on Freeport.

You can take Yolobus to Sacramento and take your bike. You can also ride to Sacramento across the infamous Yolo Causeway. If you ride down West Capitol, watch out for wrong-way riders.

The Arboretum is nice.

If you go to the UCD coffeehouse, directly across a small courtyard from it is a room that is now used for a study hall. That used to be the old coffeehouse. In the late seventies, the Police, the B-52's and the Talking Heads played there.

There is a Tower Records on F street. The record store across the street is cooler.

Bogey's books is the best book store in town. It's just down from Espresso Roma. Both are on E street.

The Chancellor is actually a cool guy.

Wednesday night FARMER's MARKET at Central Park.

If you want to see lots and lots of girls in bikinis, go to the UCD Rec Pool. It's at the corner of Hutchinson and La Rue.

I did go to school there. What are you planning on majoring in?
