Thank you. I feel safer riding here than in the rural areas of El Dorado County, where I have had two motorist harassment incidents (both caught on video), and the encounter with the military impostor last month. People act civilized and drivers leave cyclists alone in El Dorado Hills, at least so far.

I love the quality of the pavement and the bike lanes too. This is a very popular cycling spot because of the challenging climbs. The best part is that I can get to it by light rail. I am car free now, so all my mountain trips in the summer will be by rental car like they were this year when I still owned a vehicle but wanted the peace of mind of driving a new vehicle.

I love how the Bike Friday climbs. I believe it's pretty close to my road bike performance-wise, although the road bike's lower handlebars are better for descending.
