A bike we built a couple years ago for the Zwitserleven pension and life insurance company. They rode around Amsterdam with a pretty girl in the chair to demonstrate the relaxed life one would have as a result of buying their insurance. Bummer we never saw pictures of the bike in action. Fun project and certainly an eye catcher.
This picture kind of provides an indicator of how tall these trees were. Definitely the tallest palm trees I've ever seen.
can you see the 3 tiny children climbing up on the rock? it's like where's waldo!
testing out a new camera the other day.
You can't go to the tropics without getting at least one picture with palm trees. Here's the obligatory shot.
I wasn't feeling too hot today, could be the lack of sleep last night, could be impending cold. I wanted to go on a nice ride today, but wasn't energetic enough for anything long. So I decided to do a quick out-and-back ramble to Ricky Point, a spot at the very east end of Hayden/Tomahawk Island in the Columbia River, in the far north of Portland. Ricky Point is pretty much off-the-map, and I don't even know who owns it. Is it public or private? (I had to go through a marina's parking lot to get there.) In any case, Ricky Point offers a few benches, a good view of the river, and a little beach that's good in the summer. (If you have no qualms about swimming in the Columbia.) High clouds had set in but I still had a good view of Mount Hood to the east. The stiff east wind meant that I didn't stick around for long. About a 10 mile ride total to/from my house.
