Now that we have your attention, we assure you, we're joking. Only in Portlandia do people move houses by bike.

Because, hey, it's faster -- "We can go through red lights. It's much faster."

And, for the movers, not really work at all. "This is like taking a lunch break. This is like, 'Oh We're touring Portland."

This was last week's episode - a new one's coming tonight.  Any bike jokes you'd like to add?

You can watch the sketch 15:43 in.
