    Portland is such a great city and this only one of the many reasons.

    It’s hard, after spending some real time there, to come back and get used to cycling in Pgh. But in some ways it’s more exhilarating to be part of a young, growing bike movement than just another Californian who’s come to take advantage of what other people worked for.
