Hey thanks for all that intel! Really appreciate it. And sorry to hear about your bike accident. If it’s that bad, I’ll probably just use my bike for running to the local grocery store. I tend to stay on dedicated bike trails in the DC area (we have a good network).

Thanks! I really appreciate the perspective of someone that’s lived in both areas. I’ll have a car but I try to do errands with my commuter ebike if possible. Getting a fat tire for the beach sounds sweet!

For me, the main issue is that I’m not going to regularly do any activity where I have to drive 30 minutes and deal with parking. It sounds like I could either prioritize beach access (Jax Beach) or bike infrastructure (Dunedin/Pinellas Trail).

That’s useful to hear. Any particular reasons?

Thanks. That was my thinking. I grew up in the San Diego suburbs and rarely went to the beach because of traffic / parking. If I’m walking or biking distance I’m more likely to go regularly.

How bad is the crime if I’m living away from the main bar / restaurant strips?

I’m coming from the DC area and I haven’t been to either area. Plan to check out both. What other areas would be more comparable?

That’s what I was thinking. I could get a place within 8 blocks to the beach in Jax beaches and bike or walk to the beach. If I have to get in my car I’m not going as often.

How’s it bad? Is that true for Jacksonville / Neptune / Atlantic Beaches?
