I've enjoyed plenty of blackberries mid-ride. But my favorite are
mulberries. I'm not sure, but I think the local Italian immigrants were
fond of mulberries when they settled here. The trees seem more common in
the neighborhoods that were once Italian.

The good part is they're pretty easy to spot, because the pavement is
filled with black spots from fallen fruit when they're in season.

The bad parts are 1) It's impossible to avoid crushing the fallen fruit,
so one's cycling shoes get messy soles; and 2) the season is very short.
