Cecily- This fountain has several different spray modes. The one pictured 
is certainly the most bike friendly, and I'm always excited when I go by on 
a warm day and it's at this part of the cycle. You get a pleasant drizzle 
and are on your way. The other modes are more drenching. Highly recommend 
riding through a fountain or 2 once yer Betty is on the road. 

Tony- the auxiliary bar is so I can clear off the bars I hold onto. It 
maximizes available hand positions. I use a 2nd stem (threadless) instead 
of spacers and a cut-off straight handlebar. I dig it. 

Mike- Wasco County ride in the spring sounds great! I'm hoping to organize 
some sort of u-pick ride out there in Sept or so. Need to get in touch with 
Aaron to coordinate. 

David- We didn't get a very good look at Squeaky Peugeot Guy 'cause he was 
going so much faster than us. He's pretty much a mystery.

Welcome to Portland Zack! Yet another Rivendell bike and rider to look for 
out on the road.

Andy, it's a long ways away for me but I think next April we'll need to 
arrange another Wasco County Riv Ramble/Exploration.

Is Squeaky Peugeot Guy the PDX equivalent of LA's Lone Wold?
