If you’re like us, nothing beats sightseeing via bicycle, and the California coastline is the perfect place to stockpile some miles heading into the 2015 season. Senior Editor Jené Shaw rode around 375 miles from San Francisco to Santa Barbara last weekend—as did groups of others on an organized but unofficial journey—and snapped these shots along the way.
