Strictly side note here... refering specifically to a larger issue regarding the attitude of the state and the ensuing treatment of cyclists.
Yet again California shows an attitude that is anti-bicycle by their "wilderness paths" treatment of paths. This is quite consistent with their "human powered device" definition of bicycles per CVC, along with their poor treatment of roads that are otherwise well defined as bike routes in other states... specifically hiway 101 as it enters the "golden state" up north.
Notice any pattern here?
