- TIME CAPSULE 2012
- Col. Summers Park, SE 20th Ave and Belmont St6:45pmWe are on the cusp of a wild time ride where changes in weather patterns plus upheavals in the energy and transit sectors will affect our supply lines to food and products. We face transitions, then, into altered lifestyles. This is surely a time to mark where our lives are now for the benefit of our future selves to reflect on our celebrations, joys and woes, and triumphs!
Throughout PedalPalooza, please consider what you would like to contribute to the Time Capsule 2012. Items will be collected at the 2008 MCBF. (So set your time dials for the year 2008, and ride the PedalPalooza timeline.)

FOPO BICYCLE BAR TOUR
-
10:00pmExperience the seemy underbelly of a Portland whose seemy underbelly is rapidly becoming not as seemy. What really goes on behind the filthy doors of The Trap? Does Smokey's really live up to it's name? Does Mama Maria's really have "the best Italian food in town"? (Actually, we won't answer that one... trust me.) Live the strange but true lifestyle of a "Portland local" for a few hours. Cut a swath of pinball and pbr through the heart of Felony Flats.
Smores in Mt. Scott Park after last call.

5:30pm - 6:30pmWhen you were a kid you probably biked, and it was easy. You did it barefoot. With an ice cream in one hand. No sweat.
Now you look around you and think "Biking? Around all these cars? Scary!"
Biking in the city doesn't have to be scary, despite all the cars. In this workshop we'll go over the skills that will make you safer and more comfortable on the road.
We'll also cover basic bike laws, necessary gear, and route finding.
No actual bicycles or roads involved however - just bring your questions, and we'll send you off with maps and newfound confidence that you can do it.
