of these factors, conditions and historical circumstances combined to give
rise not only to a city with an impressive rate of bicycle use (estimates
of 20 - 25% of all trips being made by bicycle), but led to what has been
called a bicycle "culture" in Davis.
Evidence for this "culture" ranges from the city's adoption of the vintage
highwheeler bicycle as its official logo to the more subtle acceptance of
bicycles for everyday utilitarian trips, by both college students and permanent
residents. Bicycles plying the streets of Davis have become so commonplace
that conflicts between cyclists and motorists are rare. Indeed, as many
residents use both modes extensively, there is a great degree of mutual
understanding and respect for the needs and desires of both groups.
