Zoobomb: A Thrill You Can Only Experience In Portland!
Portland is known for being a city that is full of bike-enthusiasts, being bike-friendly, as well as bike-centric. It’s also known as a city that invents, embraces and exalts both the legitimate and quirky. Here’s one of those quirky, yet legitimate, thrills you can only experience here in Portland: Zoobomb. Walking past the intersection at SW 13th and West Burnside you can’t help but notice the pastel colored, trike-sized and banana boat seat rigged bikes that are piled and chained to a vertical pole topped with a gold-leafed bicycle figure. A visitor might even think: Wow, I never...

Read MorePortland Tomato Battle!
La Tomatina is the week long food fight festival in Bunol, Spain. Every year on the last Wednesday of August, the small town of Bunol, with a meager population of 9,000, graciously welcomes 20-40k people into their town for the largest tomato fight ever! Catapulting tomatoes create chaos and pandemonium for exactly one hour. At that point the water cannons sound indicating a cease in the food flinging. Sounds like a rip-roaring, tomato-tossing, glorious-good time, if you could make it to Spain! Well don’t shed a tomato tear any longer my friend because the Tomato Battle is making...
