We have alot of history here in Sacramento -- so much that it might seem daunting to narrow it to a manageble list. Here is an attempt to do just that: seven "must see" places you can pedal to in about the time it takes to sit and watch a movie.  1.

This sounds like a great way to get out and see the city. Are there any thoughts of putting a map together of this route with particular landmarks highlighted and posting it somewhere to cyclists can easily follow the described routes?

I am interested. Please write an article about these tours. Maybe the tour leaders could each give a profile of their route and why we should all take the tour.

Excellent stuff. I'd also add the Sacramento History Museum to the Old Sacramento portion--they just updated most of their main floor and some of the second, including a new display on Sacramento's brewery history. I will be leading a group on a "Historic Bike Ride" in the Southside Park neighborhood at the end of the month--I'll post details closer to the date.

Yes - we would form a velocab convoy. Two are comfortable; three are cozy in a cab.

Great history in this article! The tours sound fabulous. If you have a group of 4 or more who wanted to tour, would you be riding around in multiple velocabs?
