It might be that my current object of bike lust is the Surly Big Dummy - between Tarik’s and (Not So)LFOAB’s write-ups, and countless other images, it’s clear what a useful and smile-inducing rig these are. Everytime I see one, they just seem to strike me as amazingly appropriate.
As usual, the folks up in Portland are jumping out to an early lead. As beth reports here, they now have a “Portland Longbike Consortium” which was holding its first get together (at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub) last night. This is a serious “Glimpse O’ The Good” and an act that gives hope for us as a species.
Besides, it looks like something out of Sturgis…
(and nice work on the deck pad on the near bike!)
Viva El Longbike!
September 19th, 2008 at 10:45 am The Lucky Lab (NW Quimby) is one of my favorite places to roll up to on a bike, and proceed to drink ale hoppy enough to make my eyes cross. Oh, Portland, if only your job market were as robust as your cycling community… ;-)
