all right, so this was just me blowing off some stress after a ****ty day/week/month, etc. or maybe two months. or so. but every now and then i just....ahhh, **** it. this is the portland thread, not the threapy thread.

henry's is good beer, eh? we have good alcohol in this town, don't we?

Do you feel more or less stressed after a playing chicken with a Trimet bus?

Don't forget that buses have feelings too, and they shouldn't be blamed for your suffering.

i've never met so many alcoholics under 30, as i have in this town.

jesus. I hear you on this one.

i failed we'd been outside for like an hour and change and it had no sign of starting yet. and the people i asked didnt know where those streets were, so i went home. sorry

also

i'm the only 'edge' kid i know in portland so far. my roomate just turned 21 so now teh poizon has invaded my homespace

Well, you can't blame alcohol...

Here is a map...
https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...9&om=1&iwloc=A

just rode down there.
someone got it.
hopefully not just one of the neighborhood kids for the purpose of throwing it at each other or something.

although... gadeux, you said the southwest corner of rodney and fargo.
the only hydrant I saw was on the northwest corner.

that was a nice little four block ride. if I didnt have to go to work early tomorrow, I'd be tempted to ride to kelly point park tonight. monsoon season is on the way and tonight is a great night to ride.

edit: funny how that google map calls MLK Union ave. weird.

All right folks.

Last call on a free (lightly used, low mileage tire). It is around the orange fire hydrant on the NW (did I say SW earlier?) corner of NE Fargo St and NE Rodney Ave.

It'll be there another day.

Or you can PM me or respond in this thread and I'll put it somewhere else for you to pick up.

I know you like to reuse things and I know you like to skid, (or not get flats while not skidding).

Edit

Oops, someone got it. I hope it ends up on a bike and not around someone's neck.
Thanks for trying!

ok so you took it back inside?

I was JUST THERE and it was m.i.a.

nevermind

No, I didn't take it inside.

It is officially MIA.

Rodney is a pretty well trodden bike route though, so it is possible that someone with a bike (who knows how to change a tire) actually got it.

Tell you what though...

This was somewhat fun.

I have a few other bicycle parts to get rid of.

I'll put them in the city and the post on this thread where to pick them up.

I'll find better hiding spots.

This will run through Oct. 3rd.

Watch this thread.

i vote you keep going with your/my neighborhood.

Sorry, gotta spread the love.

If you people want to give me general parts of town where you live or ride frequently, I'll try to keep it close to where people are.

That way we can keep some poor SPD's from rotting away in an alley in Beaverton...

no beaverton!

downtown

You should see Austin!

Seriously though, I am from Oregon originally and I miss hanging out in Portland. I have lots of friends there...I need to come up and do some skiing and biking!

rodney and fargo? are you the one who keeps leaving bikes/bike parts on that street corner?

Are you the one that keeps taking them?






Actually, I am brains behind the tire operation but nothing more.

I vote for brooklyn, them sugino 75's gotta go somewhere right?

i didn't take the tire but i've seen a few bikes and random bike parts abandoned near that intersection.

if you feel so inclined, you could leave a black thomson seat post in the field at n. killingsworth and interstate.

ill leave some old mavic tubular rims on rodney/fargo.

critical mass today? i'll be there

brooklyn's a rad neighborhood. i'd like to live there. it's one of a few neighborhoods on my list.
