Don't forget that the weather here means you can comfortably go running year round. In fact, the san francisco half is in January. That's a huge advantage that SF-proper has. Soccer, running, and cycling are all activities you can do every single day in SF-proper.
- davidw 17y agoYeah, the weather is definitely a huge point in favor of SF in my opinion. It's nearly perfect, aside from the chilly summers. SF proper is not nearly large enough or traffic-free enough to do serious cycling in, though.
- jamie 17y agoYes, but you can commute in it year-round. And with a fixie or single speed, the hills add at least a modicum of challenge. There's no reason to say that SF proper is too small to take advantage of; I think the appeal is that here, you have year-round, every day exercise. That little bit adds up, just like every day of brutal cold in Chicago or NYC changes you. That effects people's psyche, and I think that's a major reason why the attitude out here is different.
