First ride (ROAM 2011)

This is the first ride of about 12 of the European ROAM riders. It's a trip from the warehouse (were the bikes were stored) to the hotel. After that we did a little trip to down town Portland to do some shopping.

At 3:10 who has the right of way?

[xlnetwork]

@CyclingKris1 I think vehicles coming from the right I guess (in our country it would be). Don't know about here. Mostly it's 'handled' with stop signs.

At 5:50 did you change bikes? There is a new sticker on the front.

[xlnetwork]

@KrunchyJD No, those stickers were added in between both clips.

You got a contour+ already, where did you get it from?

[xlnetwork]

@gaz545 I got it from our Dutch dealer (where I got the older version 1,5 years ago). I like it a lot!

It must take twice as long to ride them anywhere than a nomal bike.

It seems everybody wants to stop you and have a chat.

The edges of some paved roads have rumble strips - more for cars, not bikes.

Guys don't park in the handicap zone! You are giving people the wrong impression ;-) Good luck with the rest of the 5000km.

Absolutely fantastic to see the ride getting started. I'm subscribing and looking forward to the videos... Hope to see you in Illinois or Indiana...

Thanks for the video. I subscribed. I'm looking forward to more ROAM videos as you make progress across the continent.

I love it! See you tomorrow.
