Transportation
In Beaverton, the evening of November 6, 2009
|
|
Do you see two bicycles here? I needed to look twice to find mine.... The one you can see belongs to K'Tesh. Scroll down to see him. |
|
|
|
You couldn't mistake this image for anything but a bicycle. The red is the only battery-powered light you see here. The rest is all reflected light. |
|
|
This is reflective self-adhesive material, the blue stuff purchased at Multicraft Plastics in Tigard. The spoke markers are called Lightweights for Wheels, available at Performance Cycling. |
|
|
|
Down Low Glow, by Rock the Bike. These are Light tubes mounted on front diagonal and along the chain area. ~~ Not illuminated because earlier in the evening the batterypack had fallen off and been lost. He would love to have it back.... |

I think he said is name is Mike, aka K'tesh; find him at http://bikeportland.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1357 where there is more info and links. Including an online (only) store in Hillsboro called Pedigreen.com Of course he has head and tail lights on his helmet too. |
|
|
Two headlights, Nightrider Ultraphazer 3.0 (uses regular batteries?) and Nightrider Minute X200 powered by a nickle-metal-hydride battery pack. |
 |
|
|
Two bright tail lights by Planet Bike, with triple A batteries. Blue refective film from the frame. |
|
A few of the very many Smart Cars (made by Daimler Chrysler) we saw while in England and Italy, March 2004
| A Smart Car parked in front of the Grand Hotel De La Minerve in Rome |
|
|
This was in Ercolano, Italy (near Mount Vesuvius) |
|
| A little more of Ercolano's city background |
|
| No this is NOT a smart car, just an example of the many very small vehicles used in Rome and throughout Europe |
|
|
In Isernia, a small city in the mountains Southeast of Rome |
|
|
I'm not enamoured of all transportation modes in Italy |
