The city was founded in the beginning of the 20th century with the construction of the now abandoned Madeira-Mamoré Railroad. The railroad linked Bolivian rubber production with the navigable Amazon river. Porto Velho became capital of the newly formed Federal Territory of Guaporé in 1943, which was renamed Rondônia in 1956. Today the city has a population of almost half a million people (2013). Its economy is mostly based on service (83%).
The largest city in Rondônia state lies in a tropical monsoon climate zone with a wet season from December to April, and a short dry season from June to August. Annual average temperatures are around 25° C.

And I am very into it since my place is crowded with traffic jams! The video above showed a funny situation: I started the review from Brooks's handle! And after nine years! It's still an excellent bike handle and not even destroyed!

Hi, hi, hi. So, it's been a while for the last couple of weeks since I have considered buying a cargo bike. The reason is that I am often trapped in a traffic jam because I can't get faster in my car.

Custom LEGO Transformers Devastator
My faith in humanity is restored! OK, that’s a bit overboard – but you couldn’t blame me if you see an incredibly, exquisitely and wonderfully executed custom LEGO Transformers Devastator such as this by Alex Jones. I feel transported to the 80’s once again, with the same intense childhood wonder when I first saw the Constructicons combine and become the formidable Devastator.
