I've reached the end of my Low-Car challenge. And except for a miserable experience with a lost but then recovered bag, the experience has been positive.
(Last weekend my beloved Timbuk2 bag was taken from the Wonder Ballroom. The thieve(s) made good use of my credit and debit cards but left the rest of the bag and its contents untouched and stashed next to the old Cycle Oregon building, where Leon was able to match it to my craigslist posting and return it to me safe and sound.)
In my month being a biker I learned that bike grease stains, getting there is faster than you would think, and I love summer.

Portland is covered in bike
So will I continue to be a full-time biker even when the weather turns?
Well thankfully Portland and New Seasons Market have me covered. For the entire month of September, my work will be participating in the 2008 Bike Commute Challenge!
Work places all over Oregon will compete to see how many employees can bike to work for the most number of collective days during September. And there are prizes!
So it looks like I will coast right through the summer and into fall as a bike rider extraordinare.
that looks like a fiesta of goodness!
