will do! Thanks, that sounds great. I had definitely been hoping to ride to more neighborhoods when we were there, but there's only so much you can do in three jet-lagged days (we had a delay taking off in NY which didn't help any
). I scouted jobs one day, we did the Japanese Garden etc. another and a little riding the third (plus a lot of shopping and eating!), so, next thing you know - bang! we're on the way home
.
But I know cycling through neighborhoods is great to get a real feel for what it's like to live there. I didn't want to rent a car and blast through too quickly; also, if the neighborhood was far away enough to NEED a car to get to from downtown, I think that kinda defeats the purpose for us.
