San Diego’s park
way
San Diego's roadway system
provides an extensive network of
routes for travel by bicycle. The dry
and mild climate of San Diego
makes cycling a convenient and
pleasant year-round option. At the
same time, the city's hilly, canyonlike terrain and significantly long
average trip distances—brought
about by strict low-density zoning
laws—somewhat restrict cycling
for utilitarian purposes. Older and
denser neighborhoods around the
downtown tend to be utility cycling
oriented. This is partly because of
the grid street patterns now absent
in newer developments farther
from the urban core, where
suburban style arterial roads are
much more common. As a result, a
vast majority of cycling-related
activities are recreational.
San Diego, California is
home of the first European
settlement on the west coast.
San Diego, California is
rimmed with seventy miles of
beaches.
San Diego's Zoo is
home to a pair of giant
pandas, and when Hua Mei

Western Hemisphere since
1990 (she is now in China).
