You push off from the Malecon as the ocean breeze sifts through palm fronds; the city noise thins and the road tips up toward the green scarp of Vallejo. Electric assistance eases the climb, letting you watch the bay shrink behind you while the hills open with scrubby trees and distant ridgelines that seem to dare you forward.
