I think that Tucson is rated #3 in some lists of top cities for cyclist. Seattle, I believe, is #1 but I personally couldn't take the climate. With all my various broken and repaired parts, I need dry. I understand that Seattle is a fantastic place to live but its just not for me. Portland, I've heard is also quite good but I have the same climate problems. So when I'm ready to leave NY, I think I'll head to Tucson. - Show quoted text - I live in Seattle and moved here from Tucson. I can say that I would rather ride bikes in Tucson for any one of a number of reasons. Tucson streets are much wider even if there isn't a bike lane than Seattle streets. Tucson is also much flatter than Seattle if you want it, but you can still get hills if you want as well. The USPS Team trains there climbing Mt Lemon. Tucson has less rain, but when it is raining, I'd rather be in Seattle. The rain in Tucson is monsoon as a rule, and is usually well over 1" an hour, whereas Seattle is pouring if it is more than 1/2" an hour. Not to mention there is drainage for regular rain in Seattle in the streets, but none in Tucson. Then there is the sun and abundence of amazing Mexican food in Tucson. I'll take the Tucson drivers too. Chris |
