if you're gonna talk the talk...

...then walk the walk, or ride the bike as it may be. People, this is why I love Portland.



I'm so glad someone had the ironic sense to snap this photo. My friend Jeff and his new wife Jill recently moved to a new home. But they did it all by bike. I've been awaiting the pics & I am not disappointed! It's heartwarming to see this kind of dedication, stamina & community. There is hope for humanity (in Portland, at least).

If you want to check out more of what a MxB looks like (move by bike), check out some of the other public collections of the event. Says one photographer:

24 brave hardy souls braved rain, sleet and (yes, briefly) snow to move Jeff and Jill a few miles. Half of us were crazy enough to go pack and pull a second load!

That's my friend there with the map. I love it! He's always good for being organized and definitely knows his way around a map. :-)

Looking at the scope of the project

Yep, couches & mattresses too

Lotsa MxB

Bike moves = much pizza

That's awesome> One of the reasons I miss Eugene so much.
I love the about 200 ft. bike lane on Turkeyfoot. Blah!
