I live in Chico, CA.

Population: 100k

Chico state university students: 20k

I guess it's supposed to be one of the most bike friendly places in the nation based off some percentages and number of bike lanes and paths or some made up ***t. Still just as many ignorant drivers and overbearing police as anywhere else.

There is still a huge problem with bike thefts and a lot of wheel stealing, but I just avoid putting my bike where that's an issue.
