it’s new bike day! i haven& #39;t owned a bike since i was a kid but and it was hard to get a new one during the pandemic, but today was my lucky day. i can’t wait to get out on portland& #39;s bike greenways and enjoy the small little pleasures of feeling like i am 10 years old again https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎈" title="Ballon" aria-label="Emoji: Ballon">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚲" title="Fahrrad" aria-label="Emoji: Fahrrad">

first bike ride out of the neighborhood and on the city streets is in the books!! squeezed in a solid 5.6 miles this evening. still amazed by how many protected bike lanes we have and the joy that is riding on a neighborhood greenway https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚴‍♀️" title="Radfahrende Frau" aria-label="Emoji: Radfahrende Frau">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌇" title="Sonnenuntergang über Gebäuden" aria-label="Emoji: Sonnenuntergang über Gebäuden">

i have not been doing a good job of updating this thread with my august or september bike rides, but today was the first one i did in 3 weeks (wildfire smoke ruined my consistent track record)!

6.4 miles and some solid elevation gain https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌🏽" title="Raising hands (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands (mittlerer Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit lächelnden Augen">
