The People’s (Bike) Republic of Portland

5 Comments 14 August 2008Print This Post

I love this crazy town.

Sherry just emailed me a link to Jonathan’s blog, Bikeportland.org – it looks like the building in Waterfront Park, just north of the Hawthorne Bridge, will be turned into "Bike Republic"  which is described as a "full service bike commuter facility".

Hot!

But what really got me going was the mention of a cafe run by Laughing Planet… Oh la la, mama needs a big burrito.

Check out BikePortland.org for the full scoop and prepare yourself for bike commuter madness.

    That’s awesome! Biking is much slower to catch on here where I’m at. I bike about 2-3 times a week to work. While there is a bike trail part of the way, once I’m off of that, it is not pro-biker at all. Portland sounds really pretty cool!

    Hi-
    This has nothing to do with your post whatsoever (sorry!). I meant to email you a while back when you blogged about having low iron. I found out almost a year ago that I have low iron, though not as low as yours. I took iron pills daily, then twice daily, then two pills twice daily…you get the picture. Not much change, either. If you are having that same issue, I wanted to tell you something that did work, and pretty quickly. (If you’re vegetarian, this won’t work). I began taking liver daily. Not pills, but not cooked either, ’cause I can’t stand that stuff. So I found this idea on the net, and it works: you freeze the liver, and cut off small pieces, still frozen, but small enough to swallow like a large pill. I divide the liver into 3 oz. baggies, and the bag needs to be gone by the end of the week. It’s totally painless and it REALLY raised my iron levels! Anyway, hope that’s going better for you…Zoey
