You're right – it is a beautiful area to bike and nearly year-round too.

I actually got my start with bicycling in Portland, Oregon. My family lived in Gresham until I was in 5th grade, then moved to S.E. 139th street in the David Douglas School District. I rode bikes all the time. I moved back to Georgia when I was 15, but returned to Portland for a year when I was 20. I was back to bicycling there again.

That is a beautiful area to bike.

May you be blessed with peace and understanding in these days.

First, you and your bike look like you belong in Portland, Oregon! Bicycling is BIG out here.

My husband, son and I all have bikes and we often use them as transportation. Fortunately, all of our usual destinations are between 2 and 4 miles one way. Unfortunately, it's quite "hilly" which makes the trip pretty draining (for me at least as I have fibromyalgia).

Thank you for detailing your experience with the e-bike. I'm going to consider it as it may help make my current bike trips much less exhausting.
