Portland Bike Parking



One of the most ANNOYING chores of biking PDX is finding parking. I suppose it's probably a nice problem to have. Too many bikes, NOT enough parking. The mentality is the same as for car parking. If you build it, they will come.

This shot is at the corner of 10th and Couch. It's really not this bad. This shot is just a bunch of zoobomb bikes racked up for the next suicidal zoobomb event.

While on a visit to this PDX bike shop specializing in zoobombers, this shot is the quintessential zoobomber, if there is such a dude.

How to be a Jerk, WITHOUT Really Trying



On the way back from the bus station, I stopped at the local QT for a sandwich and drink. There was NO bike parking. I could have simply leaned my bike against the outer wall. There was plenty of space. But, what the hell? I simply squatted a car parking space, to deny some other jerk the spot. I hope QT is taking NOTES on How to do Bike Parking, WITHOUT Really Trying.

Next time, I'm bringing a lawn chair to do a REAL parking spot squat.
