Human powered exploration. Bicycles. Touring. Camping. Film Photography. Portland!
I just found out last night (Tuesday February 1st 2022) that former Portland mayor Bud Clark had passed away at the age of 90. A man best known before his two mayoral terms as a pub owner and the model of the (in)famous 1978 "Expose Yourself To Art" poster that may have hung in your... Continue Reading →
From the 2018 Remnants and Relics Pedalpalooza ride Hello all. You may have noticed a lack of posts lately. That's mostly because I've been pretty busy with planning bike stuff. Not just my own bike stuff (more about that later), but stuff for the greater bike community, meaning bike rides I lead. And no better... Continue Reading →

Oh Tom Kiefer, you are so right. I've been thinking a bit about the upcoming Palm Tree Ride in January. In the couple months leading up to the ride during my wanderings around town I keep my eyes open for new palm locations. This is how I have found all the palms for the rides... Continue Reading →

Thankfully there hasn't been a shortage of cool things to do. Since I like history and all that business, I was happy to presented with so many... Continue Reading →
I awoke later than I should on Thursday (it is my "day off", after all.) What should I do? I wanted to go see a PBOT (Portland Bureau of Transportation) Bicycle Brown Bag presentation on European bicycling infrastructure at noon. However, I had (have) plenty of art deadlines to pull off this week, so would... Continue Reading →
