Hi! I''d love to have a bike during RailsConf to be able to explore Portland a bit better than last year, when the only thing that I really had a bit of time to explore was Powell''s City of Books. I already bought myself "Walking Portland", but I can already see that there is no way of doing that walks without a bike. I''ve already had a look around bike rental services in Portland, but I neither do need a perfect racing bike, nor want to spend 100 bucks for that. So here''s my question: Do any fellow Railsers living in Portland have a spare bike they could lend me for a Starbucks invitation or some other proof of my endless gratitude? It doesn''t have to be the best bike around, although it should of course keep the air in the tires. A bonus would be a rather big bike as I''m 2 meters tall (that should be something around 6,5 feet). Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany, Christoph --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I don''t know if this is only for people staying there or not, but the Ace Hotel has bikes for rent: http://acehotel.com/portland/ You could give them a call/e-mail to see if they''d rent you one. I don''t know their prices or anything but I''d imagine they''d be cheaper than your average bike rental shop. :) --Jeremy On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 6:59 AM, Christoph Olszowka <christoph-qJ1ZF3Y11pIDw6YgpXsKp1aTQe2KTcn/@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi! > > I''d love to have a bike during RailsConf to be able to explore > Portland a bit better than last year, when the only thing that I > really had a bit of time to explore was Powell''s City of Books.

Hi, I''m pushing this on "top" again to ask if some other folks living directly in Portland have a bike so Ruby Freak doesn''t have to bring it from far away?
