Another (not at the same time, please!) is to go for a wind-in-the-hair cruise around town on an [electric bike](—home & design editor Christine Lennon recently tried several to narrow down some great choices for different budgets. You can also join us in dreaming about owning, or at least visiting [this California garden where something's always blooming](.
