"If anyone on this thread lives in Portland...I would love to hook up for a ride...this is a bikin town fer sure. Peace"

I don't live there but I sure like to visit as often as I can...if you a guy riding around on a green Raleigh Twenty next week that will more than likely be me and if the guy is riding around with Portland's most beautiful lady,that will definitely be me.

As far as the OP goes...if I want to cruise at 30 kmh I can take my drop bar'd hybrid which could be a little faster of it wasn't geared for touring,towing, and off roading and if I want to cruise along at 35 kmhplus and work on higher speeds, I take my road bike which is a full 9 pounds lighter, runs on super fast tyres, and is set up for high speed riding as it is a bike of singular purpose.
