With pleasant year-round temperatures in most areas of the state, California is the perfect place for those who cycle for commuting or pleasure. Riverside in Southern California is a particularly good cycling community.

In 2007, the City of Riverside adopted its Bicycle Master Plan, which aims to increase the number of local bicycle commuters by improving and expanding bikeways and other cycling routes and facilities. Bike lanes are currently present on most major streets in Riverside, but cyclists are welcome on all roadways regardless of whether there is a designated cycling lane.

Riverside is home to two official off-street bikeways. To the north of the city, the Santa Ana River Trail runs along the Santa Ana River through most of Riverside. Eventually, the trail will run the entire length of the river, from the San Bernardino Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.

The other official off-street bikeway in Riverside is Victoria Avenue. In addition to a cycling path, this tree-lined parkway is an equestrian path. While automobile traffic runs through the Victoria Avenue parkway, the City of Riverside has added stop signs for the safety of cyclists.

Simple RV Interior Design Tips


Based in Riverside, CA, accomplished accounting and design expert Joanne Trealoff has worked in high profile positions across different organizations. She is the former president of Results By Design, Inc. and director of finance at Travel Incentives, Inc. Currently, Joanne Trealoff is the co-owner, CFO and vice president of Eclipse RV, Inc. where she deals with the interior design on all Eclipse RV models. 

A Recreational Vehicle (RV) is a vehicle that can be transformed into a spacious and comfortable home. Just like a home, there are key day-to-day essentials such as a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bed that, with a little though, can be crafted into warm and inviting spaces. Decorating an RV requires creativity by ensuring interior design is done professionally. While designing the interior, comfort and safety should always remain a priority. For starters, only one long sofa and a small table should be included to enhance mobility as opposed to including too much furniture that makes the space inside the RV appear narrow. 

A bed should come with a small-sized mattress and mattress pads that can act as storage for both books and electronic devices. For the kitchen, equipment should be hanged on the wall to enhance appearance and create space. A shelf under the stove is also a great place to store kitchen equipment. Given the small size of the bathroom, it’s wise to have a box that can be placed on the bathroom toilet. This is where all bathroom equipment can be stored and conveniently accessed.
