“One of the reasons I like living where I do in Beverly Hills is that I can bike everywhere I go. The bike has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It's marvelous exercise and it also allows me to explore. I know all the unusual trees in my neighborhood, every backyard that has a dog, flower beds of distinction. My bike is an extension of my body, a part of myself. Every time I go for a ride, it's an adventure- and when I return home after an hour of pedaling, my body has had a workout from head to toe.” ~Doris Day: Her Own Story
