Last Friday, May 1st 2009, I took some shots of what’s called the May Day Parade here in Portland.
Check out the ‘tall’ bikes below and riding with your stereo in the bike trailer.

Earlier in the day I got an email from work saying basically here is the parade route. I naively thought, “oh cool a parade – with floats and marching bands!” A little googling and it turns out it’s not a parade but a protest march.
Heidi and I usually have a standing date on Fridays where she comes downtown and we pick some bar for a couple happy hour drinks and food. (Happy Hour here in Portland is quite the establishment for you out-of-towners). So I warned her that the roads might be clogged.
She luckily got down right before the thing started.
Does your town have 8 bicycle cops ready to go in a moments notice?

Horse butts. They are magnificent animals and so calm and well trained.

Interesting stuff.
