Natalie Rocks (20 Seconds of Video on) The NYTimes

The Bidnes of Biking

For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, Portland got a little love from the New York Times today.  This cool little article covered the intersection of bike business and culture in Portland.  Nat got a little coverage in the video that accompanied the article and got to say the word “vernacular.”

    Thanks Otis! The NY Times is usually pretty stocked-up on style and vocab, but it’s nice to think we can keep up, eh?

    -whew- It wasn’t easy looking you up based only on that video! (The reporter kinda mumbles your name.) But I found your expression “traveling in the vernacular” very striking. It seemed unexpected… mysterious … poetic … or something; anyway, it stuck in my head, and I used it myself this week. Hope that’s OK. Funny that that’s what the discussion here is about too.

    Hey John,

    Thanks for writing in. Natalie and I have been talking a lot lately about those folks who introduced us to cycling - and those who introduced us to different types of cycling. I had done a lot of riding before I met Nat, but she really opened my eyes to Urban riding. I remember her telling me that cycling was just a really great way to see the city differently, and it turns out she was right.

    “Traveling in the venacular”. I love the phrase, and will like it more when I look up the meaning.
    You have great style.
