Bob inspires me in so many ways. He commutes along some of the most challenging roads in Portland, year-round, in any kind of weather except ice. He says that his commute has become addicting, and that he would miss it if he were to stop. He has shed nearly 40 pounds during the four years that he has been commuting to his job as a railroad engineer in NW Portland’s industrial district, and says that his co-workers have stopped harassing him about his signature pink helmet. Good for you Bob!
