Sunday bike ride

Portland has an amazing array of summer bike events, all under the umbrella of “bikeapalooza.”  Last week, while I was in Seattle, they celebrated their nude bicycle event (20,000 partook?) This Sunday afternoon we hit the parkway (clothed) and were part of nearly 32,000 Portlandians enjoying a Sunday afternoon bike ride. Each month, roads are closed to motor traffic and a different neighborhood is explored (with endpoints of music and camaraderie.) This recently renovated neighborhood gave voice to some hip/hop/ rap songsters (that could really use more practice….) and lyrics? “my pockets are bigger than my butt, ugh, ugh”
