What are the riding on the street vs sidewalk laws in California? Do drivers try to kill you?
Every day almost I hear of bikers getting run down, often hit and run, on these roads. I'm up in OC, not SD, but same difference. It is not terribly safe, and I am not a safety-paranoid type. With bike lanes and dedicated paths I can keep my proximity to engines to a minimum. So far, so good.

I'm a fan of EM gatherings for skill shares and car "shows"... so when you're going to be in the region, let's see if we can gather a few socal folks: Riverside, SD, OC, LA, San Bernadino.... whereever. Could gather at a classic or lowrider auto show/meet, or some ebike or regular bike event ... would make for fun conversations.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
