I can only thank my lucky stars that I live in San Diego. Best of luck to you both. Cheers.
I gave up on street riding right after I moved from Seattle. It's way too dangerous. I'm strictly off road now. Funny thing is, quiet side streets are much more dangerous. Motorists can do what they feel like doing there without being seen. Then the main roads are dangerous because the vehicles are bigger and faster, as well as less attentive. I miss Seattle like an old pair of shoes. The slallom of downtown Seattle, wonderful.
