U.S. Bicycle Capitol
Davis, CA was the first city in the country awarded with a platinum level of bicycle friendliness from the League of American Bicyclists. The only other city to achieve such a designation is Portland, awarded as a platinum level city this past April. Davis also claims to have more bikes per capita than any city in America. Davis city planners truly go the extra mile in accomodating bikers, from kids to commuters. It's what helps make Davis an extraordinary place to call home.
I enjoy biking to my downtown Coldwell Banker office, with a variety of easy 3-mile routes to use. My favorite is the scenic Putah Creek bike path which eventually leads me under I-80 and past the eastern edge of the UC Davis arboretum. Another route follows Pole Line Road over I-80, then west on Fifth St. into the heart of downtown. Wherever you live in Davis there are bike lanes, greenbelt bike paths, tunnels, overpasses, and even America's first bicycle stop light (at the intersection of Russell Blvd. and Sycamore Ln.) to get you where you're going in comfort and safety.
It's fun to meet my buyers and sellers by bike for home tours, inspections and more. Give me a shout if you want to tour Davis by bicycle with Davis's only certified EcoBroker and we'll hit the road on two wheels. Save the planet & stay fit - a win-win. Happy biking!
