We got a notice in the mail today that Sunday Parkways is going right past our house. We sit on the corner of 17th Street, and it's going to head right up 17th. Sunday Parkways is an event that Portland started in the last couple years, which is based off Brazil's highly popular Carfree days. They do several around the city each summer. Last year I rode the route in SE Portland (which was honestly a little annoying because it was so crowded with bikes! And small children on bikes who can't control themselves!). But, it was great to see that it was such a success. Unfortunately, Mike is riding in the Reach the Beach ride the day before Parkways in our neighborhood where he will ride from Portland to the Oregon coast, and we will likely be playing on the beach instead of watching thousands of cyclists ride past our house without fear of cars. Maybe they will keep the same route for next year.
