I won a blacked out gravel bike a few weeks ago and since I find all black boring, I spiced it up with a classic wood theme. #bikesky

After: wood fenders, brown saddle, cork grips

I spent another hour at the harder CLIMB trails nearby. The blue trails had a lot of rocks and elevation, some above my ability. No shame in walking it past the chunkier stuff.

The EasyCLIMB loop next to Cascade Locks, OR is really well done. Green trails with just enough optional but low-risk challenges. Two loops takes about an hour. There is even a blue jump trail not in Trailforks that is easy to roll over. #bikesky #mtb

I didn’t realize that Cascade Locks has been quietly building a set of MTB trails. I might have to check them out soon!

Here’s the NHS in core Portland. Bikes lanes would be illegal on many arterials: NW Broadway, Burnside, Stark, Powell, Grand, Cesar Chavez, etc.

“Unfortunately, as had happened in so many other places, some civic leaders began to complain that velocipedes were running amok, prompting communities to impose restrictive ordinances.” 1868. From “Bicycle - the History” by David Herlihy.

I know some people love Cormac McCarthy but this type of prose in Blood Meridian is mentally exhausting to parse.

The only public water fountain I noted in Basque country: a 50m water line run up and over a street to a nearby building. Incredible juryrig. American cities could never.

Fun fact: Portland has 27 base zoning types. Plus overlays. Plus districts. Our “planning” is just complaint driven nonsense.

Rode a few trails in Tillamook State Forest. I'm sad it took me this long to get into mountain biking, our Oregon wilderness is incredible. #bikesky #mtb

After watching the Taskmaster guys rate every flavor of Cheeto, I went out and bought my first Cheetos purchase ever. These are pretty tasty. youtu.be/QsycFv1I1tg

I just noticed that someone (PP&R?) removed a half dozen benches in Jamison Square, I assume because of loitering and homeless complaints. 😢

An empty space where a bench used to be.

I’m sad to inform you that our “fuel” costs have skyrocketed to $200/yr this year. Dang datacenters!

Mike Perham @mike.perham.net · 04/04/2026

In 2023, our Tesla cost $99 to fuel for the entire year. We get roughly 3 mi/kw so this is about 5000 mi of driving.

Huh, I bought a textbook on particle physics off eBay and it appears to be a bootleg. It‘s the size of a paperback, images in it are quite poor quality and the author bio on the back cover is wrong.

The new proposed park in North Portland looks exactly that way to me. "meadows" and "gardens" that few will use and zero fun. Lots of river frontage but no integration with the river. A terrible plan. bikeportland.org/2025/12/03/b...

I love all of the bike racks next to Cadejo Coffee but it sucks that every one is exposed to the rain, outside of the overhang.
