I hope to escape the Chicago winter this year with an extended stay around Yuma(first timer). As I do not have a tow vehicle, was hopeful to be able to bike for groceries, library, etc. Yes, I do bike quite regularly back home for recreation but in Yuma the bike might allow me to occasionally leave the RV hooked up for those little trips to the store.
Thanks,
Ken

Ken...if that is your intent, you'll have lots of opportunities to ride your bike....however much will depend on where you will end up staying. There are many older established RV parks located within the city limits...these would offer the best location for shopping via bicycle. There are tons of parks in the Foothills area and along either the I-8 corridor or 32nd Street....these would offer lots of neighborhood riding, but offer little in the way of being able to ride to shopping, while staying off of busy area streets.
For a first timer in Yuma, the choices of places to stay can seem overwhelming...I suggest that you start your research soon, google RV Parks, Yuma, AZ or just Yuma, AZ ask questions here and choose a park that seems to fit your criteria. Then use your time in Yuma to explore the Yuma area to find exactly what best suits your needs.
Yuma is much more than desert, there are over 100K acres devoted to agricultural production in the county. There are opportunities to hike, bike, fish, boat...or just loaf in the perinnial sun...there are lots of senior activities offered by the community as well.
The attached map will give you an idea of how Yuma is laid out: Yuma. As you move east, along I-8, you'll come to the area referred to as the Foothills.
Come on down
