Move By Bike - Portland, OR 5/16/2009

A group of cyclists came together to help out a fellow cyclist move by bike. Packed up all the belongings on to some trailers and moved an apartment's worth of stuff to new digs. Special thanks to Shift2bikes.org.

Shifties love to help when it comes to moving the belongings of other bikers. It's a big social event. Typically the move provides coffee and light snacks before the ride (vegan Voodoo Doughnuts in this case), and beer and a meal at the end. The move doubles as a house warming party. You should definitely help on somebody else's bike move before asking for help on your own move, partly so you know what you're getting involved in and partly for karma. This is not a moving service for hire. We do this for friendship and good times, not for money.

It would have been cheaper to pay 19.99 for a small U-Haul truck than to buy all of those people who helped you lunch.
