Yesterday was the Multnomah County Bike Fair which closed out the two week+ Pedalpalooza. Portland loves bikes. This is no REI/burly mountain bike/clip pedals/other tech bike variety event. It is better summed up as mutant bikes, pedal powered smoothies, dogs, rock n roll, jousting, coordinated dance, bicycle marriages, clowns, fire, mayhem, derbies, art and community.
There are photos from last year on Flickr. I’d imagine this year’s event will be showing up soon.
Neat Flickr thing I didn’t know until thirty seconds ago: the homepage color palette changes with the featured photo. Maybe one of these days I will give in.
Portland seems weirder and weirder the more I hear/read about that place. seriously. I bet the next time I come out there it starts raining again and stops as soon as I leave. West coast hates me.
