"Slow-Cala" appears to be a quiet sleepy town that is safe from crime and able to commute via bicycle and moped, however, beware of theives and road-rage drivers not willing to share the drive-lane. Recommend you safe guard your belongings and create bicycle and moped lanes throughout Ocala and Marion County.
