Forty-three years later, it’s bicycle-ly the same

In many ways, life at UC Santa Barbara in 1980 wasn’t all that different from the way it is today. Learning how to cross the hectic bike paths remains a rite of passage (hot tip for modern times: put your phones down before you dart across), and barefoot students are still a common sight. Coming to campus in pajamas is a decidedly 21st century trend, but wide-legged pants are having as much of a moment now as they did a half-century ago. So is the mullet, but we won’t get into that here. In short: everything old is new again, and Gaucho chill never goes out of style.
