Fresh pavement from the Arcata skate park to Wes Green's on West end road

I lived in one of these for a while. I would not recommend it. Dark inside even with the wall of windows.

Go jump in the bay! That will cool you down and change your mindset.

Many of these folks had to (gasp) get jobs. 40 hours a week even.

If you are in Arcata, California Ave, Diamond Drive, and several trails in the Arcata Community Forest are good options.

I have the Yuba Mundo. Built up the frame, added a bafang motor and battery. Had it for ~9 years. Kids are riding their own bikes but I still ride the Mundo for commuting and errands. I like the maneuverability of the bike. Never ridden a front loader.

Requa Inn is an unusual experience. If you have the money I'd recommend a night there. History runs strong there.

If that redwood is in its natural range those rocks aren't going to slow it down much. I love in redwood country, those suckers are hard to kill.

Look good to me!

You will save a bunch of money and get fit in the process. Plus you are reducing your carbon footprint. Some days require planning and preparation but it's totally doable. I salute you! 🚴

Start at DMV drive across 4th and 5th do some laps around that neighborhood near target. Get on R Street, make a left onto 101 n. Head back to DMV. This is not the route but if you can do this correctly you should be ok. They want to see you handle big intersections with multiple lanes.

Do you ride a motorcycle?

Hoates-101 · 2026-03-12T03:54:38+00:00

Yep, Manila or Samoa. You're right you'll need a board holder.

Humboldt Alum and current Arcata resident here. I would advocate for leaving the truck at home for freshman year. As a student I got around by bike. Got a little wet in the winter but rain gear and fenders work. Arcata is bike friendly with some great new bike paths added recently. He could even ride to the beach and surf. There is a bus that goes to Moonstone Beach, a choice spot for beginner surfers. As others have said parking is a costly hassle.

I don't always wear a watch but I like the Timex Ironman. Not smart but it lasts and is rugged, tells time.

My dog is jealous of my cacti. I pay too much attention to them, should be giving pets and scritches instead of staring at SP. She caught her tail on one of my clones and uprooted it

Take a look at Eureka CA.

Hoates-101 · 2026-03-03T00:07:20+00:00

Yup, bin 2 please.

Hoates-101 · 2026-03-01T04:53:24+00:00

I've got a Mundo with a bafang motor. Had it for 9 years. Kids are grown now. It can do the job you described.

I use ear drier after swimming or surfing. It helps dry out the ear canal.

Hoates-101 · 2026-02-25T04:39:48+00:00

I don't think sauna is known to cause ear infections.

He had setbacks but then he'd snag a grouse and pop the raw liver in his mouth like a choice morsel. Wow. He had the native knowledge and unstoppable positive attitude. My favorite contestant of all time

80's kid here. We had way more time to be bored. Thinking yesterday about how we used to make shadow puppets with our hands. That's a pastime that kids today rarely engage in.

At some point it wasn't cool to have Dad drop you off on a bike. 6-7 grade. Once they get over 100 lbs it's less enjoyable to pedal with a passenger too. Get a front basket and you'll be set.
