I can't prove it, but there appears to be more bikes on OG streets than ever before. Kids and adults are all over town on bikes, especially as dusk approaches and traffic has diminished.

I suspect that there is a new demographic of renters and second-homers who are used to biking, and OG is a good place for biking, but watch out for all sorts of hazards.

You can ride 24/7 on the boards, but be sure to wear helmets and to have lights on your bikes.  AND obey all traffic laws as you would if driving a car.
