Wow, this is a beautifull area. The first chance I had, I went to see the bikes at Clevercycles. I like them and really want to get one for the fam. I also drove around the downtown area where 21st street bikes is located and man do y'all need more people on bikes. Portland may be one of the best biking cities in the US, but from what I saw with the trafic and parking, Portland needs ten times as many people on bikes, including me!

We also drove (I know, we should not drive) to Bend to see what that was like. Very nice. It rained and hailed on us while we were there, but still nice. We rented one of those four wheeled bikes and took a ride around the waterfront area. Checked out Hutches bikes and several others, they were all quality shops. They we when to Sisters. Very beautifull.

We just got back from Seaside where my wifes Aunt has a condo on the sea. Very relaxing. It's nice walking the beach.

Everywhere we went, I was amazed at how many bikes were on the tops of cars or on the roads. We are staying in Vancouver and in certain areas, there area lotgs of bikes there too.

We are gonna try to go to the zoo and OMSI on Saturday.

Great so far.
