You made me famous for having a flat tire! 🤪 Thanks for stopping and providing moral support while Lonnie helped square me away on my repair. Great ride, and great video!
Great ride and thank you for sharing. We enjoyed the drone photos especially going over the Columbia River to Vancouver. Very nicely done. Thanks again, Sylvia. Very awesome.
@@TravelsByTrike I can understand why; lots of traffic on the other side of the wall! Going across the bridge makes for a great trike ride experience! Well done, Sylvia. Looking forward to your next post!!
Gee it's great being a drone and seeing all those great views. Thanks a million for sharing such a great ride, I'm sure I'll watch it again many times.🕸️💙⚽
Very interesting ride Sylvia. I'm impressed with how Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington have bicycle pathways throughout. Our bicycle pathways along roadways in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania are virtually non-existent. We do have a beautiful river trail along the Susquehanna River, but our streets and roadways are very dangerous for riding *sniff* 😥. Thanks for sharing. Keep on Triking!
this is a very complicated route.. I would really enjoy seeing all the turns from taking Sandy up and getting onto the 205 bridge.. I tried it one time but couldn't figure out all the twist and turns at the end of Sandy.. So i had to turn around and come back.. Thanks Robb
This route didn't take the 205 bridge, we went over the I5 bridge. If you go to the website Ride With GPS you can find lots of cue sheets for riding to Vancouver from Portland. Take care!
@@TravelsByTrike Yes.. i know you are on the I-5 bridge.. it is too narrow for me and my trailer. I would like to see the route that takes Sandy up and connects to the 205 bridge where cyclist ride in between n/s 205 into washington.. I want to travel to eastern washington.. And i got lost with all the twist and turns connecting the end of Sanday getting onto the bridge.. :) would love to see and hear you call out each of the turns to get on 205 bridge north bound... :) love your rides..
Ok all caught up. You didn't really mention that you were motorized so I guess that is just the way it is with the assist. I think I saw nothing but ebikes in the trike group. I am still waiting for my adapter kit from Utah Trikes that will adapt to the through axle on the Dumont. I already have a Bionix wheel to swap out the 10 speed Catrike stock wheel. ... hmmm all I need is a truck and a trailer. :o)
Yes, I would say 80% of recumbent riders I've seen locally, at Tater TOT and the Recumbent Retreat all have e-assist. I think e-assist is the biggest thing to ever happen to the cycling industry.
@@Iamkayaky yes, our local biking group used to be called Oregon Human Power Vehicle and we had to change the name. Now it's Pacific Northwest Recumbent Cycling.
Nice job - as always. I lost my bearings a bit at the beginning -- looked like you started across Hawthorne Bridge and then turned around but I couldn't tell where you went - you mentioned the Springwater but I didn't think it went that far north. Oh well...lovely video. I want to check out the Frenchman Bar area. Thanks!
@@TravelsByTrike Sylvia, I could get two magnet mics with dead cats on them and steel ear studs. I could trim them up a little and people wouldn't know I was recording sound. They probably wouldn't have a very good opinion about my personal hygiene though. Be well and stay safe and warm out there. Cold here in Denver and all of Colorado. bf
haha, yes, I'm using an Insta360 One X2 on a 10 ft selfie (invisible) stick as well as a Skydio 2 drone with a GPS beacon that doesn't need a screen - it's brilliant.
There are a few cameras. I mostly use a GoPro Hero9 and an Insta360 One X2. I also have a Sony ZV1 P&S, iphone 11 pro max and Skydio 2 drone. I think I have an illness with all these cameras but I love it. Many thanks!
@@TravelsByTrike hahaha wow love the videos i'm down here in socal i wish i could ride with you guys and fine bunch..thanks for the videos...yeah i'm asubscriber
Another pleasant, peaceful ride, this time through two cities. I'm always amazed at how wide the Columbia River is. We hear about big rivers in the eastern US, but the Columbia truly is a great river. I too have had problems with my GoPro batteries seeming to have a full charge, then pfft--nothing. One camera seems to be bad, while the other (I have two) is okay. I just bought a used Insta360 One X from another RU-vidr. I'm still figuring out how to use the Insta editing program to put out my next episode. I have to edit the 360 footage first, then combine it and GoPro footage on DaVinci Resolve. Man that bridge is narrow! If only cities were more proactive when it comes updating infrastructure such as bridges. I'll bet jurisdiction between the two states and municipalities plays a role in why it hasn't been replaced yet. Seen that excuse trotted out here in the Denver area. Let's hope they don't wait until it's falling apart before they take action. Ride safe, and may all your lights be green!
Thanks! Take your time with the Insta360. It won't take too much to understand how it works. What's fun it looking at footage and seeing how you can change the point to view from front to back or up to down with super interesting and smooth transitions. It makes the editing process fun even if it is very time consuming. Best of luck!
I think that bridge dates from the early 1960's and am surprised that it has any pedestrian access at all. Pleasantly surprised. I think the two states are close to the end of wrangling over the new bridge and hopefully it will have wider bike and pedestrian access
@@TravelsByTrike Yes, I have done some of that. I didn't save it as it was practice work. It's all done with key frames. I have done a bit of that with Resolve, but not to the degree that's on the Insta program. No problem; I'll get it and start creating before long.
