Yay, Paris is back in town!

Amy:

And stay away from listings that say they're in the "Trendy, hip Hawthorne district"

whatever amy you're just jealous

amy's right though half those postings aren't actually close to hawthorne. if you find anything promising you can always post the intersection up here and we'll tell you if it sucks or not!

Incidentally, Hawthorne is not hip or trendy. It's more like the Pre-2005 GAP of districts.

I guess I never did enter anything to this.

Howdy.

I'm jb. I can be dug up around town, ranging from just outside of Ladd's Circle, Powell's Technical Book Store, to huffing it up to SW near the Crab Bowl. Occasionally I end up off of Alberta, or in NW. Just depends on where I decide to head that day.

No pics, sorry.

I haven't checked this in a bit, but I'm pretty pumped that Slackar signed up.
Look for asending/desending text staircases of genious. It's kind of his thing.

Hi, my name is Kyle. I uhhhhh, like bikes? I assume most of you do as well. Yep, anyways, say hi or something if you see me, feel free to spark up a conversation. I am always looking for people to ride with and/or geek out about bikes. Getting bored of riding with the same individual constantly, and hoping to find some other fun people to ride and dump around with as well.

Me:

And another below, this one is with my girlfriend, you can kind of see her:

I can't seem to make a normal face in pictures. I either look retarded or in pain, or both.

This is a picture of my current girlfriend. I have another one, she looks the exact same, rides a little different, shes in bubble wrap right now though:

Sorry the picture of my girlfriend is so terrible. I have been meaning to get out to pirate town and take some cool ones, but until then, thats good enough. See you around town?

hello kyle. call me back

carnivalkid:

hawthorne might not be cool but everything I want is 2 blocks from my house, and I love aalto lounge

Sarah Reichwein [sah'-rah rayhkh'-vayhn]

-noun 1. A female, of possibly human origin, currently residing in southern California, though thoroughly detesting it and moving to Portland, Oregon, circa late-August to early September. Avid cyclist, bicycle commuter, rides a self-constructed, white, 1972 UO-8 Peugeot single-speed fixed-gear. Will respectfully beat you in an alleycat or drag race. According to a fortune teller, her schizotypal Nazi-Germany born grandmother, and a pagan neuro-linguistic programmer, is one-thousand one-hundred and fifty-four years old, though she is presently trapped in a nineteen-year-old body. Pointillist pen-and-ink artist, with several erstwhile gallery exhibitions. Published author of science-fiction literature and nonsensical poetry. Practices piano, violin, harmonica, and vocals, terribly, raucously, and expeditiously. Listens to everything from Modest Moussorgsky to Leadbelly to Crass. Life-long herbivore, discounting the occasion she consumed her younger sibling's accidentally amputated finger. Just kidding. Regularly drinks the chemical compound C2H6O, otherwise known as ethyl alcohol, like a fucking fish. Anarchist, feminist, post-modernist, existentialist, atheist, theoretical quantum physicist. Has twelve toes. Just kidding again, only ten. However, has broken her nose, twice, once in an extravagant, downhill, cycling accident. Has shattered her patella, and her lower lip has been torn off and sewn back on. Speaking of sewing, is seamstress. Enjoys books, chess, lucid dreams. Hates pink hair, Jack Nicholson's smile, and risers. ex. “Dood, that's Sarah Reichwein, she's a weirdo.”

-adjective 2. Non-exemplary or preposterous behaviour. ex. “When Chainring Billy rode the Critical Mass with a peacock duct-taped to his courier bag, that was some Sarah Reichwein shit.”

-noun 3. The fictional, Internet-based pseudonym of surrealist writer André Breton (February 19, 1896 – present, though several sources claim his death).

Oh, and, no matter which definition, is Jørgensen's significant other, and also Teen Idol's friend.

Sarah, you're a freak.

Get here.

Nike SB'd:

What's up guys I'm Sean from Phoenix, you might know me from other boards (SF/LA fixed, honda-tech, shoe forums etc). I'll be living here in Portland (SE side, it sucks :( ) until August when I start my new job in LA. I like to take photos and I'm just getting over being sick. Went on my first ride today and the hills here are killing me :P Anyway I know basically nobody from PDX so I'll check this site to see what's up with rides and stuff. I only have two bikes with me while I'm up here so you'll catch me riding either of the two bikes below.
