Two years ago, the fine folks at Bridge Pedal gave me the opportunity to fly over the ride in a helicopter. With my camera and a five-point harness firmly buckled around me, I flew high above the iconic event and got a perspective on our city that I’ll never forget.

With the 16th edition of the ride happening this Sunday, I thought it’d be fun to take a look back at what I saw…

Many people could actually see me hanging out the side of the chopper with my camera. So they smiled and waved.

If you’re headed out for the ride Sunday, check out what’s new this year via The Oregonian. And of course, enjoy the ride!
