I live in Fairfax, California, a town of about 7500 people, and the place where mountain biking is said to have originated.

People here enjoy local events, their dogs, tie-dyed t-shirts, cycling, a thriving music scene, some pretty nice scenery, no chain stores, and no plastic bags in their grocery stores or restaurants. Some members of my family call it "hippie granola", but I like it just fine.
