what is "this bar"? there are cycling Meccas like Davis CA and Boulder CO where infrastructure is extensive and average trip distances are short.

- cmclaughlin 5y agoI live in Davis. Biking is great here, but it’s not perfect. The network of bike trails has been poorly maintained. The asphalt is badly cracked, which makes for a very bumpy and uncomfortable ride. There are plenty of bike lanes on most streets, but almost no protected paths. Biking amongst cars is always stressful. Most residents in town don’t actually bike that much. UC Davis students are forced to bike because most live off campus and obviously there’s little car parking available there. But I don’t see a remarkable amount of biking around town. I wouldn’t be surprised if more people in SF bike for day-to-day activities per-capita, such as shuffling kids around and picking up groceries. All of this said, it’s still a nice place and biking here is nice. But it could be better.
- cmclaughlin 5y agoI'll add that a lot of kids bike to school in Davis. I'm mostly disappointed that more adults don't bike as much as I'd expect.
