Hey Joel, You gotta stop by River City Bicycles across the river on MLK Blvd. Ask for Mark O. and chat with him. Very cool cat. Check out all the RCB wool jerseys that Alessandro made. Also check out EnSelle boutique bike shop just south of the downtown business area, but still within riding distance from the downtown. There's also Sellwood Cycles, but I don't know where they are located. And The Bike Gallery in downtown Portland. A fun thing to do would be to get out to Sauvie Island, rideable from downtown, and just cruise around the island. Definitely a step back in time. Have a great trip. And give my regards to my homeland. Jan Johnson ("You can take the girl out of Oregon, but you can't take the Oregon out of the girl!") Transplanted Oregonian, now living in Palo Alto, CA
