I'm in California too, but there is big difference between the progressive coastal way of life, and the Redneck central valley. Good Grief, even Imax couldn't cut it in the central valley cause the valley culture are just not hip like the coastal culture. On the coast there is more of a health conscious ride your bike mentality, but in the valley, it's very closed minded. People don't think much of riding their bikes cause riding out of town only offers ranches and crop fields. Not a pretty place, smoggy too, dirty filthy air. No ocean breeze in the valley! The outskirts of the valley into the foothills, even worse. Full of Rednecks and illiterate children. I used to live in the valley, hated it. Now I live in the mountains, but the people are not hip, very behind the times. Air and water is better though at 2500 feet. Here no one rides a bike because going uphill is too hard. Lots of fat people here.
