Floppy Foot: I am sure there is a story to go with your monaker. Anyway, congratulations on your upcoming anniversary. I am so excited about visiting Powells, the Hawthorne District, riding the urban trails, and of course a drink or two at the Lucky Labrador. Thanks for your suggestions.

I stumbled across your blog and amazingly my husband and I were married on April 29th and will be celebrating our 14th this year.....and we live in Gresham (a suburb of Portland). Too weird. As a cyclist of any sort I would recommend going to see the stack of Zoobomber bikes near Powell Books which is on Burnside in downtown Portland. If you google Zoo bombers you will find all sorts of things. The bike culture in PDX is soooo strong. These guys ride a huge array of kids bikes down hills of all sizes. Another area to see a lot of cyclists would be Southeast PDX near Hawthorne street and Northeast on Alberta street. People ride bikes everywhere here. There is a nice downtown ride to do along the Eastbank Esplanade that makes a loop along the waterfront. It travels on both sides of the Willamette river and crosses two of our many bridges. I think it is about a 10 mile ride to do the whole loop. http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?action=ViewPark&PropertyID=105
If you like beer, Portland is a good place for that as well. A good bike and beer combination would be the Lucky Labrador Brew Pub near Hawthorne. www.luckylab.com
I could go on and on but these are a few suggestions. I hope you guys enjoy your visit.
