Or a beach cruiser in Santa Barbara...best way to see things......amazing the number of different rodents that will run in front of your bike in the deserty climate. Wild hares, all types of lizzards, snakes all shapes and sizes playing a game of chicken with my beach cruiser. Watch where you are going as you admire the views high and low.....Santa Barbara is where everybody goes to escape LA and relax but head further up the coast to Big Sur to escape Santa Barbara and civilization for that matter
. Then shock yourself back to life by hitting Santa Cruz boardwalk which is as Californian as it gets...
