The Portlander Who's Riding Around the World

Caught up with Joshua Force, who I've known for years as a really creative and wonderful dude, who now happens to be 15,000 or so miles into what he calls the Worldwide Bike Ride. NBD.
He's in Quito, Ecuador right now and I asked him about how he adjusts to so many new places, what it's like creating his really cool puzzles and writings on the road, where he got his inspiration for the ride, why he loads most all his weight on front racks, and more!
