mira mesa

i just moved to mira mesa and went for my first bicycle ride to la fitness which is about 4 or so miles away from my place. there is a lot of traffic going on mira mesa blvd... lots of cars and stuff but i was very aware of my surroundings. the bicycle ride took about 35 mins or so and was fairly flat. on the way back it was a bit scary... but mira mesa blvd is lit well and my light was adequate for the ride home. i think the key for busy areas is just to be aware of the surroundings...
