[SDCBC] Bike Moves - how about YOU?

[Gale Chan]

Groceries, yes; sofas (or even loveseats :-) ), no.

I think the reason few cyclists in San Diego haul stuff is the
terrain is so un-flat.  In my bike safety class last year which
was held in Rancho Bernardo (thanks again, Kathy!), I'd say over
2/3 of the participants had difficulty with the terrain.
