Bike Friendly Cities

I'm so fortunate to live in Santa Monica, CA!  I love living by the ocean, yet still having all the amenities of a large city.  Santa Monica is like a little satellite of LA proper, so it still has a suburban feel.  

One thing that makes it so livable, is that its bike friendly!  There are lots of designated bike lanes to use, as well as, a bike storage center downtown, so you can bike there and park without any hassle.  It's super liberating when traffic is a pain, and actually cuts down on traffic and pollution.  AND it's an easy and fun way to get some exercise and it makes me feel like a kid again!  Not to mention, it's Clio's favorite mode of transportation!
