check out my new rig!!!!!

Happy Birthday to me. Merry Christmas too. And probably Happy Fourth of July and Valentine's Day too. Thank you Jason for my new bike! I can now join him on his Portland adventures on two wheels. Jason researched, phoned, researched some more, and worked very hard to find the bike he thought was just right. I think he did it. Not only does it fit my 5 foot 1 inch frame, but it looks mighty sleek and cool too.

It is difficult to describe Portland's bike culture until you have experienced it. Here are a few pictures that capture the unique love Portlanders have for their bikes...
