Have you seen those cool new wayfinding signs all over downtown Portland? I’ve seen them at various landmarks around the city, but I have to admit I was surprised to see this one…
OK, so I’m a few days late with an April Fools joke. I just couldn’t resist.

This was my favorite “bikey” April Fools gag. The sad thing is, I know people who would actually do this and insist it is the only correct way to do it:

Damn, I almost got out of my chair here at work to ride down and check that out. ZOOBOMB!
ha!
seems like a good idea to me
Soon we will have our own one-of-a-kind custom rack with descriptive plaque anyway!
And by soon, I mean as soon as we hear back from the city, since we submitted our proposals and followed their requirements way back in december….
Hee hee. That was a delight to see.
oh man, sheldon brown’s april fool’s gag was hilarious.
