Davis CA
I am here this week for work. Holy cow, this has to be the bikiest place in the entire universe. My Best Western room number plates has a bicycle printed on it. There are bike racks under the stairwells of the Best Western. Bikes bikes bikes. It's totally awesome.
|
Also I am really digging the blinding sun and temps pushing triple digits. I thought I'd miss the newly revealed sun back in WA but it was nothing but haze today and still below 50F when my plane departed. I definitely need this jumpstart.
|
Did you stay at the Best Western next to the UC Davis campus? That was the one I stayed at when I visited. They even have courtesy bikes there for guests to rent and explore the city with.
|
Will you have a chance to ride around?
Yeah it was hazy this morning here too. |
Davis alum here! It was awesome living there--I could ride to school without ever having to go on a road once! All bike paths. Also, I believe Davis was one of the first places to have modern bike lanes put in!

Bizarro World.
|
I am at that Univ Lodge BW. Took one of their loaner bikes (no fee but first come first served) to shuttle back and forth to my meeting today. It's so great.
|
I used to live there. The bike parking was excellent, but I didn't enjoy riding in the 100+ degree heat during the summer.
|
The weather sucks, but I'm the type type to lust after your beautiful Pacific Northwest fog. Bike accommodations are really second to none, and the drivers are almost obscenely courteous. I quite like it here, actually, even if a summer day can be hot enough to melt the grips off your bike.
If you want any advice on thing to do (or ride to) just let me know. |
The heat really is pretty intense. My grips are actually disintegrating into my hands each time I ride.
Also, wave to the guy on the red Rockhopper with mismatched tires and the "got science?" sticker on the side. :D |

You'll have to check my alma mater, U.C. Santa Barbara, cooler weather, the campus is directly on the coast and it is also a Gold level Bicycle Friendly Campus. Avoid Del Playa on a Saturday night though. You've never seen so many drunk bicyclists. ;)
