Portland is one of the best cities for biking around. I went up to Longfellow Books and got a trail map. Online I found a map that shows all the places you can leave your bike locked up around town. And the Back Cove Trail is right outside my door.
So I looked around to find a bike, checking the discount stores and one very expensive bicycle store. I really wanted a bike like I had as a girl, no gears and a comfortable seat. LL Bean's came through and I'm now the proud owner of a Casco Bay Cruiser with a big basket for carrying produce back from the farmers' market.
