Portland
Well, all signs point to me moving back out west for school this fall, probably Portland. What's the city like for bikes? I've been there loads of times but I haven't biked in it, ever.

Its just like nebraska but instead of fields we have hills, and instead of wheat we have trees and beavers. And instead of farmers we have hipsters. And instead of pickups we have bikes. And the roads are paved with recycled Kilo TTs.

For the record I've been wanting to move since I was 9 years old. Nebraska sucks, there's cool people in the good music scene, but nothing more.

portland is soooo cool... one of the few places in the states one can live in. ah rose city. there's still the occasional homicidal hick in an oldschool pickup that might try to swerve at you if you look at him wrong, but they be everywhere.

Thanks for the love for the https://pc-pdx.com Show Guide! The website is getting completely redesigned to be more friendly and functional...
Know that we have a great house that we're going to start doing shows at in a matter of three weeks or so so check the Guide and come on over! -Right now we're converting the driveway into a huge row of bike racks because that's the way we roll we roll. Hammer time.

well if you have been to the top of tabor there is a circle around it just like a velodrome that we will be racing on. bikers often go up and bike around it for practice. its got a cool view to.
