This weekend felt like the official start of bike season. As if someone turned on a switch, bikeways and paths were flooded with two-wheelers and bike shops were buzzing with customers.
This morning, while riding into work on SE 7th Avenue in inner southeast Portland, I got that feeling I hadn’t had since last summer — that bikes were everywhere.
I was fortunate to spend a few hours on Saturday in Waterfront Park with my camera to capture this amazing time of year, when both blossoms and bikers are abloom all over our city:
