Is it easy to roam around the city San Antonio, second largest city in Texas using Car Rental services?

Even though there are numerous car rental service provider across the city, driving extensively throughout the city of San Antonio is not recommended due to the hugely confusing one-way streets. Only a century old citizen of San Antonio can drive through the city flawless and easily. Main Hazards include the Parking problem, plague downtown etc. Since the police Patrols around quite frequently, the illegal parking is almost next to impossible and the city seems to be busier day by day. However for certain purposes like gang travels, small family travels nothing comes close to the convenience offered by Car services provided by many popular companies like Advantage Rent-A-Car https://www.advantage.com/car-rental , Alamo Rent-A-car http://www.alamo.com , Budget Rent-A-Car http://budgetsat.com/ etc.

How flexible are the bike routes in San Antonio and is it common?

Bikers are not big in numbers when we consider the city of San Antonio since most of the routes are not recommended for Bikers. Many Bikers will love to challenge their bike riding skills on the hill side roads present in the outer part of the city. It’s really an adventurous experience to climb those rock filled hill side roads with those powerful bikes.

Is there any Specific Safety precautions recommended by the government of the city?
