the life we knew we would
I just went biking all about, over by the river and up to the Steel Bridge, down the west side park and across the flat fountain that wasn’t on because it’s nighttime in March, and the sky was clear and starry and the city was twinkly and flashing as Portland can be with its quirky young skyline and endearing neon, Made In Oregon, and standing on the Hawthorne Bridge grating with the Willamette slipping quietly underneath I couldn’t think of one good reason in the world that all of Portland wasn’t out biking tonight.

This is where I reveal how ridiculous I am myself. A few weeks ago I saw this Kaiser Permanente commercial for the first time:

The whole commercial is pretty good visually, the message being "change, and the world changes with you," but it's the final scene that gets me. The camera pans (?) out on a bunch of cyclists, to reveal both sides of a massive five lane freeway, completely covered with cyclists. Not a combustion engine in sight. I almost cried.
Why can't this be the world we live in?
ok, i hate to say this about an advertisement, but that just kicks ass.
much more on biking soon.
