Hello from the 'Couv!

Those are a couple of really normal bicycles. What are you going to buy or build that's weird? "Keep Portland Weird" isn't just a bumper sticker- it's a way of life.

Put a Corgi in a sidecar and you'll fit right in.

Welcome from the east coast. I remember doing a day trip to Portland the last time the wife and I spent a week in Seattle. Nice place there and miss the Voodoo donughts:
