Bikes and then a Train.flac

Wandering Portland

During rush hour this location sees a huge amount of bicycle traffic. All around the riders are surrounded by the roar of cars on the freeway and the thunder of the light rail as it crosses a bridge in the distance. The riders give me funny looks as I sit on the ground that transients usually use for a toilet. At the end of the recording an Amtrak commuter train goes by.
Recorded with a pair of AT4021 mics into a modified Marantz PMD661.

Thank you very much for providing this sound.
I used it as part of a collage in a piece called "Daylight on Saturday" which is listenable and downloadable on SoundCloud here: https://soundcloud.com/ivodne-galatea/daylight-on-saturday
