I was at the Park Blocks downtown just to see the activity because lots of streets were closed to cars. Only bikes and pedestrians could could follow the 6 mile loop linking SW Portland through The Pearl and into NW Portland. (Wallace Park) The whole event looks so family friendly; Kids on the back seat of Tandem bikes, Kids with training wheel bikes, and kids in bike trailers. I sketched these little folding travel bikes while I took a little break in the shade. The company that makes these is down in Eugene, called
Bike Friday. They really looked slick and folded down to the size of a baby carrier in about 10 seconds. I think they picked great colors but you'll have to add lights and reflectors.
There is a glare on the sign but this is a couple blocks North of the Museum. The Farmers Market is in this block on Wednesdays till 2pm.
