No Cars
Portland is all about bicycles and mass transit. Yes, there are cars… but the attitudes towards cars are nowhere like they are in say… LA.

Yes, bicycles are everywhere in portland. Driving a car is almost like commiting a cardinal sin! Even the emergency vehicles are thought of as too atrocious
Wedding clowns?
Hide the wedding cake.
Riding bicycles to and from a wedding?
I suppose you can tape on “Just Married” signs,
…BUT….
will Beebs be wearing some of those tight spandex bike shorts?
A long fluffy gown won’t stay that way once a chain and gears grab it.
Cans on strings tied to the back will get sucked up by the chain too.
Oh, the hilarity of wedding faceplants… wedding clown faceplants.
squid man… speaking of which, I nearly saw a truck run into a fire engine this morning. The stupid idiot truck guy was trying to get thru an intersection before the engine… that guy should’ve been cited… Bad truck driver… BAD!
stick… Ha… wedding antics… the bouquet should squirt water. As far as the couple getting to the wedding… pedi-cab… with the “just married” sign and cans dragging behind.
You wouldn’t know that to see the traffic on I-205 yesterday afternoon.
I live in LA and have a major attitude towards cars.
Tick-yak woods? SPOOOOON!
Ah, PortLANDia…put a bird on it.
Yat… wuz it bad? They ought to get bikes. More room for them on the freeway.
Dada…. Spooon?
EofO… yah… a bird. Love Fred Armisen.
By my standards (Baton Rouge, LA) it wasn’t bad. It might have been better if the Route 43 bridge between Portland and Oregon City wasn’t closed. Plus, it would have been difficult to carry a day’s worth of shopping on a bike.
about the “spoooon” thing…back in the 80’s and 90’s there was this “superhero” (i use the term loosely) first in comics, then in a saturday morning cartoon series on fox, then a live action series called “the tick”.
his catchword was “spoooon!”
as in the eating utensil.
the guy who published the series, ben edlund, also did another series called “the man eating cow”.
both series were hilarious, btw…
Yat… We have family in Portland… and they have them a Cargo Bike that is crazy! They had constructed wooden bucket panniers and would carry groceries, store purchases, and small children in this thing! They’ve since removed the wood, but it was mega hauler… like a Bike Semi! And your traffic situation sounded dismal.
Firedome… AH… Yes, the Tick. There was a chasm in my toon watching… and that whole Tick thing got by me. Missed the cow, too.
