about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

A Portland bike blog permalink

My online pal Jonathan writes a bike blog for OregonLive, the online arm of our local newspaper. His entries for the last week are very interesting, including an op-ed about Lance's leadership (and the lack thereof in American commerce and politics) and this great description of a bike demonstration here in Portland:
