Moreover, the traffic is virtually all people going to or from their walking, biking, picnics, etc, and all the drivers are pretty laid back. There are MUPs that more or less follow the road, and that's where the walkers and bladers tend to stay, leaving the road for the bikers. It's fun to blow by a group of uprights that are out training; sometimes they chase for a while, sometimes they just gape.
Kensington? If I'm ever back home, I'll have to check that place out.
