probably. the cold in socal (despite my protestations) isn't that bad. upper 50's/low 60's in winter from 10am-3pm is acceptable even tho i'll complain
until it's in the low 70's. traffic is what you make it. some of us don't mind riding in it, some abhor it and then there's every variation in between. my
experience is some traffic, some quiet stretches.
i saw the gas pumping as more socioeconomic/environmental vs political but i suppose it's all one big ball of wax theze daze...i could make the traffic chit chat political
(as many other things inevitably are) or the sudden, rising costs of shimano cranksets but i won't. i suppose the (nvmd global warming) weather is still fair game.
how's the housing affordability and cost of living in eugene? irvine's pretty ridiculous.
