Portland is possibly the most bike friendly city on the planet. To that end I did what locals do and headed straight to craigslist to find myself a shiny but no so new machine - $60 landed me a neat, 3-speed, coaster brake ultra simple step-thru straight out of the early 70's. Yeah so it's 'girls' bike, that doesn't make it less fun!
It's fantastic to ride around a city where motorists are actually courteous to cyclists and riders are seen as a positive part of the solution to a very big problem. A world away from Sydney where a person on a bicycle is simply considered an annoyance at best or a target at worst.
