After the coldest, wettest spring in Portland’s recorded history, some sun has been sighted. My husband Coby got a bit of a sunburn on Friday.
Today, we went biking for fun for the first time in months. We rolled down Waterfront Park, checked out a lively band at Saturday Market, then enjoyed the cherry blossoms at the Japanese Memorial.
A wedding party fled amid shrieks and laughter when hail brought down both ice and petals upon them. We found shelter under a bridge. Not long after the sun re-emerged.
Despite the occasional shower, many more bicycles were out.
If you are thinking of riding your bicycle in the city, stay tuned. I will soon post my journey from just thinking about riding to becoming confident on my bike.
Please feel free to ask any questions regarding what it keeping you from biking. And if others of you have answers, please chime in. The more of us that are out there, the easier it is for all bicyclists.
Happy pedaling. And petaling.
