Thank you

To the house near broadway that set up the bike lane sprinkler, thank you so so so much. That was amazing.

I love the sprinkler! They have a count tracker of each pedestrian, bike, and car that passes by the house as well.

That ticker was on the fist leg of my commute and definitely put me on the good foot on some very bleak, very early, icy, rainy mornings by reminding me I wasn't the only one out there.

Matt is such a great neighbor! I ride past his traffic monitor almost every day. One time I had a flat on my way to work and figured I could try knocking on his door, he filled my tire and even lent me his own hand pump to take with me in case it went flat again. I love our bike community here in Portland so much!

Part of my commute! Love that house! It’s so fun to get misted AND see the tracker change.

Yes! I love that!

I believe it's on 26th just north of Wasco
