Happy Sunday!
I biked around Santa Cruz yesterday afternoon for a couple of hours. Here's two minutes of my ride down West Cliff Drive and past the Boardwalk. Temperatures were in the 90s on Saturday, making for a very busy day at the beaches and the Boardwalk.
In this video I'm mostly riding in a two way bike-only sidepath adjacent to a one way street. How many bikes do you count in this video? How many cars and trucks do I pass?

Comments:
More bicyclists than on a week day!
About as many pedestrians in the contra-flow lane as usual. At least no delivery trucks.
Some time record the ride over the trestle and up the ramp. That should look grand!
@Jerry: Are you talking about that stop sign in front of the Boardwalk? That's for the car traffic. On the sidepath there's a big YIELD painted on the pavement.
@Hayduke: Yeah, the bike path as overflow pedestrian space and the vehicle unloading zone.
@Andy: "How not to ride" -- I like that :-) The camera is mounted on the drop portion of the the handlebar. Did you really unicycle to Mt Hamilton??
