THE THING ABOUT ELECTRIC BICYCLES IS THAT THEY ARENT REPLACING NON ELECTRIC BIKE RIDES OR EXISTING RIDERS BUT ACTUALLY BRINGING IN NEW RIDERS TO REPLACE SHORT CAR TRIPS WHICH ARE THE LARGEST SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION BASED CARBON EMISSIONS

It’s been retrieved/re-stolen. No longer in our possession. ☹️

@stolenbikereg and @BikePortland: found a bike in our yard this afternoon. Serial number obscured by derailleur cables and mount. Does not look recently used. What the heck should I do?

Spent the week on the Cape and it's about 10 times as many ebikes as there were last year. Like packs of them! I also saw this super cool electric personal vehicle. The person riding it was loving life. We're watching the future of transportation happen notawheelchair.com
My man is cruising on his 4 wheeled vehicle
From the rear, 4 fat wheels and a platform behind the seat

#pdx bikey tweeps: isn’t there an arborist among us? I’m completely blanking on who was so excited to be starting this career. It was definitely before 2020. /?

Last one! I’m at the back corner of the garage, under the magnolia, pretty flower thing in the left, alien things all around. Bamboo is trying to sneak in from the neighbors on my right. I just keep cutting it back. /fin

3 berry bushes up against the deck, they are like the Oregon berries but red instead of purple. Center front is daphne that bloomed earlier and smells like a perfume with hints of watermelon.

Looking up the driveway from the same spot. Hedge-y stuff, spot where we are told an apple tree was (I want to put a pink dogwood there), alien flowers that were probably planted by Ridley Scott, and a tulip magnolia that blossomed beautifully during the February Fake Out.

Little path up to the deck. On the right is an Oregon berry bush which has gorgeous purple berries. We saw them in December so no idea if they’ll show up in the summer.

Beds 3 & 4. Ton of raspberries which I insist have to stay in their bed, and 3 blueberry bushes that are in bed 4. The sidewalk is *right* there and I don’t want little in strollers (there are a a lot that go by) getting scratched.

Beds 1 and 2 under the sun porch. Raspberries in the back of bed 1, with some herbs in front being overgrown by a grass and California poppies. Bed 2 is currants and raspberries.
