It was a beautiful, clear and sunny weekend (OK, I won’t pretend that I didn’t feel the chilly wind).
On Friday there was a Critical Mass Ride and simultaneously a People’s Ride.
One woman had a not so good experience when she encountered a group of cyclists (not sure which ride it was from) on MLK Blvd.
On Saturday, Red Bat Press printmaker and quirky ride leader Carye Bye (she’s also behind the Pretty Dress and the Bunny on a Bike rides) led one of her Museum by Bike tours. She’s got photos and a recap up on Flickr.
Also on Saturday there was a ride to survey bike boulevard improvements in the SE Foster/Powell/Lents area. Did anyone go on that?
The new Aerial Tram also opened up. No bikes were allowed on the pods, but did anyone ride to the festivities?
Yesterday I walked on the Esplanade with my girls and it was crowded with cyclists of all stripes. I also got Eleni (4 years old) comfortable enough on the trail-a-bike to ride down the Mississippi/Albina hill. That was fun!
I know a lot of you got on your bikes over the weekend. How about sharing your experiences with us?
