i’ve really enjoyed living in redondo beach the past several months. it’s mellow, not super sceney, and we can bike to all of the necessities (coffee + good brunch spots + trader joe’s + goodwill). honolulu wasn’t the most bike friendly city, so we’ve loved having the convenience of being able to ride our bikes directly from our house on mini adventures. for the sake of my sanity, i have to leave the house once a day and this often takes place in the form of a quick cruise on the strand. these breaks have been made even better by the recent purchase of my coffee cup holder! now i can get my caffeine fix via bike without the one handed struggle and high possibility of lots of spills. two thumbs up to beach town living.
