PROLOGUEafter wiling away about 1 1/2 years at "the red door", home to backyard movie nights and yours truly, a new neighborhood with fabulous new roommates beckons. we'll have tasty nibblins before the move and food accompanying tasty beverages at the end of our excursion, a refreshing way to celebrate a shared accomplishment.

ABOUT MOVING BY BIKEmoving by bike is kind of like an urban transportational version of a barn-raising. people come with bikes and anything that might be used to carry things - backpacks, bike racks, panniers, trailers, bungee cords, used innertubes, whatever - load up what they can reasonably carry, bicycle with the group to the destination like a big parade, then unload the stuff and drink and eat and kibitz afterwards. i've done a few bike moves by myself in thailand and a few group bike moves in portland, and the group moves are a lot more fun! more than just moving my things, i would LOVE to uses moving as an excuse for organizing a safe bike ride within city limits and am going to work to make a route that can accommodate recently dusted off bikes. it tends to be a slow-paced, even-keeled experience. this one might take a little while, but the exercise is good and the company is fun and the food on the other side tastes even better after a good bike ride! anyone with a backpack or trailer or baguette basket or sheer curiosity is welcome to come. grab a few coathangers or a spoon or two, and we can make a lovely winter stuff parade! if you want to join the fun but find the thought of a bike move
