Tucson commuters

I'd be all over this if I lived here. The city has "bike" routes all over the place, with lanes and signage for sharing the road. I've even met a couple of commuters. They are different here, than MN. And just like in MN they bundle up. The other night a friend was riding with a scarf and a leather coat. I've been here almost a week, and find shorts and a wicking shirt almost too much to ride in. They don't use a lot of lights here. I questioned them, and got shrugged shoulders. And not everyone wears a hemet either, not a big surprize with the heat here, but I'd think with traffic zooming by on your left you'd be pretty warry of vehicles.
The bike lanes and layout of the city almost make me think of moving here.
