Three years ago, 67 year-old retiree Alan Koch set out on an ambitious mission: to pedal his bike down every street in the city of Portland.

What started as an escape from boredom and an outlet for his adventurous spirit, ended Sunday with a short ride through downtown Portland. We’ve kept in touch since I rode with him back in December 2005 and I joined him on this final ride.
