- <p>I wasn't planning on stopping in PDX. But I needed new tires. I got them checked out in Astoria, and the
- mechanic guessed they were possibly original to the bike (so, decades old). NOT fit to tour on. But my old bike
- had wheels that are no longer standard, so he didn't have tires to give me, "You'll have to go to Portland
- for that." I've never been one to turn down a visit to PDX.</p>
- <p>I did all the things I love to do in PDX: stayed in my favorite hostel, went to Powell's, Everyday Music,
- Blue Star Donuts, my little sister's favorite falafel place. It was great.</p>
- <p>The new tires? Nice. But I miss my old gumwalls.</p>
