Here in Portland, I’m sharing a room with Joel Greenblatt of Clockwork Bikes in Minneapolis. He brought along this beautiful monster cross bike that turns my head every time I walk in the door.

Today, under cloudy skies and strong winds, Bryant and Sarah headed out on the Couchbike to take part in the Ride for Refugees.  This charity ride raises funds for the service of refugees along the refugee highway, including refugee resettlement in Canadian communities.  All in all, the couchbike covered 75km today.  Not bad.  Not bad at all.
