my kind,generous, only, brother, let me hold on too a few bikes(he's not really ,& being a bit sarcastic), however bch cruiser-

can't beat it in the summer months , i have forgotten how much i love riding my bike, just took it out for a few minutes , around the neighborhood, but you can be damn sure on my off day , i will be on a south bay beach path , or better yet throw it in my mini-van and venture to Orange County or something, Venice maybe, that's always the greatest place to see the diversity of the folks in Los Angeles , rather a posh beach community like Manhattan beach.. anyway if your not a bike rider , you should be , it's a lot of fun , i actually did away with my ten year old racing bike (bought when i lived in Hermosa beach) gave it to the goodwill, my brother probably won't take these bike backs , or i won't let him (he owes me , believe me) . anyway get some cars off the road and get a bike , pay attention, be safe , i just came across a car  at a stop sign , what do i do ? well i go around the BACK of the car, not the front of the car! just like pedestrians  in the city . you should always do that, it's common sense. because sometimes the driver might be looking the other way, and just pull out.. but folks actually walk in FRONT of my car ( i am on the road constantly) anyway , take it easy, and have a fun safe summer , what ever your extracurricular activities may be.    :).
