I have given up on the roads completely after becoming a parent. I am simply not willing to place my life in the hands of random drivers. I get to see a lot of crushed limestone and beautiful nature without smelling car exhaust too. Trails make me happy!

I like my time to myself in the morning. I take out on bike or the other, depending on the mood I guess. Going to have to search for new riding areas soon. Harvest time is coming soon, already tra... read more

This is awesome! Way to go City of Santa Cruz going from Slow Streets concept to roll out in such a short window. More space for community members to move, exercise, and get fresh air while maintaining social distance is key to public health!

Joanna Nelson Thank you! Our neighborhood is nominating itself. Hooray for Slow Streets!

Hey Paige Clifton Steele, I have no idea if this response gets back to you but thanks for reading. I share your frustration about the car use (and I understand some booksellers do too), but you just need three bookstore stamps for a one-time 30% off coupon and that's easy enough by bike. I view it like the bike everywhere challenge; I'm never going to be a champion, but it's still a good incentive to get out and explore by bike.
