Describe the best bike date you've ever had together
His: They're usually a lot like our non-bike dates, but I remember a nice ride to 35th and Hawthorne in the autumn to have a nice dinner at Chez Machin, our favorite creperie, and then some delicious dessert and coffee - followed by a casual ride back home in the dark.
Hers: a Saturday morning ride across the river, along the waterfront when all the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and then up to the PSU Farmers Market
What else would you like to add about cycling in style in the city
that really knows how [to cycle]
Riding in Portland in style is relatively easy, for the simple fact that riding in Portland is relatively easy. There's really no reason to need special gear or equipment for riding around town. Be comfortable and enjoy your ride. There are also more and more shops around town offering practical bikes that allow you to easily ride in any kind of clothing, so you can just hop on and go, whenever. It's a beautiful city, and it's really enjoyable to experience by bicycle.

They look like a fun couple. I like bike commuter profiles.
Don't you just love meeting other bloggers? I am not sure what it is, but putting physical people with the conversations we all end up having is truly the best part of all of this!
They ARE a fun couple! Hanging out with Dave and Trina when in Portland is a MUST DO!
Yeah, that couple does look pretty cute :D
Or at least one half does :)
It was great meeting you and hanging out. If you're ever up again, let us know! We'll have explored a whole new part of town by then, more things to see and do! :)
