Winter Opposites - No. 9, The family that cycles together?



May 20, 2011, I walked east on East Burnside, more than likely transferring from the 6 bus or the CL Line Streetcar to my last bus home, either the 12 or the 19, depending on which one arrived first. Naturally, this group of cyclists stopped at the traffic signal caught my eye. Although the sky is not blue, there is sunshine which probably made their ride more pleasant. May in Portland does mean layers are still a necessity. Here's what I think is happening with these people--the man and the children in the green helmets--love that sort of beetle bug shade of green--and the woman are a family. The other man is her brother, in town for a visit and altogether not too sure about this business of riding a bike in the big city.

Layers are an ever-present necessity in Portland, no matter the season. These happy individuals used colorful clips to hang their discarded layers on their low-level chairs at the Waterfront Blues Festival on July 5, 2013. I particularly intrigued by how neatly it appears that the woman has hung hers, while the man to her right has somehow twisted his shirt prior to clipping it to his chair.
