Today we did the Providence Bridge Pedal.  Although we have biked it before, this was the first time with both kids.  There was the 6, 8 or 10 bridge option.  I opted for sure-thing (given the kids) and went with the six bridge option.  It is amazing that a city  of Portland’s size can figure out how to move thousands of people over its 10 beautiful bridges!

We biked to the start of the race from our home, as well as, back at the end so we guessed we did about 15-16 miles.  With the kids, 16 miles is awesome!  And the kids even agreed that it was a beautiful way to begin a Sunday morning.  We did see one bicycle accident but in pure Portland style, people stopped and helped.  At another spot, caution tape came loose and started to tangle in people’s bikes and once again, people got off their bikes to help out.  I know we have serious bicyclists in this city, but it is nice to see people willing to interrupt their ride to help others.  In other words…purely Portland!
