Funny, a few years ago I was looking to leave NYC and like you had my pick of locales. It was while on a biz trip to Athens, GA (one of the great little spots in America!) that I decided to move to Austin. Athens reminded me of everything I had loved about Austin.
I learned to cycle here so I have no basis for comparison - I'll leave that advice to all those far more experienced with cycling across the country. But it was because of the plethora of lycra here that I said, "Wow, what a beautiful sport - I have to learn to do that!"
I'm a complete non-athlete, but was captivated by the beauty of a body moving on a bicycle. One of these days (years), people will look at me grunting my way up a hill and say, "Man, I wanna learn to do what she's doing!"![]()
