Nevertheless, property owners have access to a few bus lines, and most residences are close to a bus stop. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very feasible for home buyers in Dixon as few common errands can be run without the use of a car. Dixon is also not especially conducive to biking because the cycling network is not very comprehensive, and there are a fair number of slopes for cyclists to brave.
