A steady flow of afternoon cycling commuters. A grocery run on a trike with a sweet basket. Middle schoolers biking to school in the morning. A family riding on a Saturday afternoon. Some of the many sights that now grace King Street. Images that evoke pleasant feelings of a street and city that provides a safe place for all. Images that evoke a sense of aloha and love.
