Aww, hopefully you come back! Portland is nice and all, but ...
Biking in Portland = just what ya do.
Biking here = a rebellious act.

i'm sure you need the money from the car but having lived in portland for almost 3 years, i'd like to recommend that you keep it (that is if's working AND especially if it can move you and your stuff up there).
i know it sounds ludicrous to some but when living there you seemed to get sucked into a 3 mile radius and places that are only 50 blocks away suddenly seem so far.
you really don't need it but i am recommending keeping it more for your state of mind when you want to get out and explore more of oregon, like going to the coast, the river, the falls or just getting the fuck out of town for a while. it's a really nice option to have during the rainy season (which is most of the time).
plus it's a back up place to crash in if you need it.
either way, good luck. of course you'll love it and i would say get up there before the end of june if you can because there is a 2 week bike "festival" called "pedalpalloza" that you would really enjoy... and portland summers are the best.
(i think i'm going to go up there for a month this summer myself. sigh, ahh portland)
