After a quick stop to farmers market (for amazing coffee, music, and purchase of baby artichokes) we changed clothes and hopped on bikes for “Cirque de cycling” parade/event/ and cargo bike race. These Portlandians are really big on bicycles!!! In the drizzle we enjoyed the massive crowd of enthusiasts and cheered on our intrepid favorite (Andrew) as he loaded up the “Big Dummy” with bulky hardware, He won the hearts of many as the only contestant with the cohones to opt for the porcelain commode (over flex vent tubes etc.) He of course came in last (after dumping bike on hairpin turn) but was clearly the “favorite” on his triumphant final lap.
