I agree, my wife and I purchased a small condo in an older part of Daytona, a couple of blocks from the beach and 5 blocks from main street. My wife loves the beach and it is close enough to our home and jobs, 80 miles, that we can go over any weekend. We enjoy it however I can not believe how people treat the beach and city. Beer cans, wine bottles, and cigarette butts everywhere. I watch people, adults, and kids throw trash on the ground and walk away. Very sad.
If I threw down trash and did not pick it up, my dad would have knocked me down next to it. Guess that is child abuse today. Anyway, bike week was scaled down. Less of everything. We don't participate in all of the stuff going on, still, we were careful and both of us have been vaccinated.
We did not buy the condo for bikeweek/biketoberfest. We actually like Daytona when no one else seems to be there!!!
