This Bike Is A Yarn Bomb
My mom is top notch at needlepoint. Crazy intricate psychedelic patterns that are more art than that Banksy poster you have in your living room. She also just heard about yarnbombing, then sent this picture over. It's part of a collection of some of the year's best street art, and some Banksy.
Just kidding, I like Banksy. If it weren't for Banksy, there would have been someone else.

Dinner + Bikes
Thursday evening Emily and I are riding to Shelby Farms Park to attend Dinner + Bikes. "Joshua Ploeg, Joe Biel, and Elly Blue are traversing the southern U.S. in spring, 2012, bringing you an entertaining evening that includes talk about bicycle inspiration, vegan food, and a traveling bookstore.
You'll start by filling up your plate, finding a seat, and start enjoying new and amazing flavor combinations cooked up by touring vegan chef Joshua.
Our hosts welcome everyone and talk about local bicycling issues and ways to get involved. Then Elly talks about the bicycling economy, with photos, interspersed with Joe's short, inspiring movies about Portland's bike culture.
At the end there'll be time for questions and to peruse our mobile book and zine shop, featuring transportation and food related titles."
Get more info at the event page.
We plan on leaving from Cheffie's around 6 or 6:15PM. Meet us and we'll ride together.
