I enjoy the city and the country experience. I always had a bike when I lived in the southland, but my range was quite small. Seeing all the pics from the LA, OC and SD areas make me realize how much I missed. One of my favorite things about this list are the range of environs people are riding

David, walked about 20 feet from the concert venue I was at, and I'll be darned, I accidentally found Stumptown today. Weird coincedence. Pictures to prove it http://www.flickr.com/photos/coconutbill/9767272226/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW

Popped this into google maps and selected bicycle. I had to laugh. Their selected route on W.Sunset takes you within two blocks of Laur el and Hardy park. Neither you nor Evan tend toward those two characters, but it struck my funny bone to see it on the map. Looks like you had a good time

I love bikes! What a wondrously different experience and scenery than I'll likely ever have on the bike (baring brain healing, the sound of the city would do me in in seconds), but the bike takes us each where we are going. Thanks for sharing the city art and ride. With abandon, Patrick On

Thanks Deacon...not that I want to experience the city environs often but you work with what you have. I find the city has much to offer but of course I'd choose 9 times out of 10 to spend time in locals such as yours. IMHO the bicycle is a magical way to transport one self through all sorts of

Pre brain injury I was never much of a city person, though I went to university in Denver, but I always loved visiting them. I can't say I miss it, but seeing the various pictures here reminds we what isn't an option. It's great to experience it vicariously, be it LA, Portland, Seattle, or DC.

Good day for a ride and not quite as hot as the desert. my camera battery was lost early in the ride (not so interesting story), so all the picture taking was done by Hugh. After seeing Hugh off in China town, I rode to Union Station - a few trains were cancelled so I rode around for a few

David: stumptown is my favorite. will it be open for 10/6? Mike: thanks for sharing that contraption with me. I have a collapsable plastic one. sort of wonder if there is some weight savings. Anyhow, it's a way classier and possibly more compact mechanism. -- You received this message

Open seven days a week, so imagine they'll be doing some brisk business on the 6th, although off the designated route a bit. http://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-stumptown-coffee-opens-in-downtown-los-angeles-20130909,0,180015.story On 9/15/13, Evan Spacht evan.spa...@gmail.com wrote:

Oh yeah, Stumptown has the best coffee I've ever tasted! And that was their regular cup o' joe, not even the extra-fancy stuff. On 9/15/13, cyclotourist cyclotour...@gmail.com wrote: Open seven days a week, so imagine they'll be doing some brisk business on the 6th, although off the designated
