Cycling, Ink and Fitness; Portland and Oregon

Portland has the best bike culture, Oregon is one of  the top five states for physical activity, Portland is the fifth most tatooed city (behind Miami Beach, Las Vegas, Richmond Virginia and Flint Michigan), and Springfield, Oregon has the most strip clubs per capita of any city in the United States.  Oregonians are well rested though, ranking 47th in the number of sleepiest states, and we are the sixth skinniest state.
I was surprised to see that Vermont residents are number one in their daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, with three other Northeast states in the top five (Connecticut, Maine and New Hampshire). You’d  think number one would have better access to fresh fruits and vegetables year round.  I suppose absence does make the heart grow fonder.
Today’s Parade Magazine (yes, I do read it with the Sunday Oregonian) had some fun numbers about the United States; all 308,745,538 of us, and our 78 million dogs.
