The Get Lit program organized by Jeff Bernards and Shift to Bikes has been a great success. This year they’ve given away over 500 pairs of high-quality Planet Bike lights…for free! Jeff’s innovative program has inspired a similar program by the Portland Police and the City of Portland.
Our bikes were stolen from our locked shed in the Irvington neighborhood of NE Portland. The first one was a 2004 Trek Navigator, 16.5, red with grey, serial # ITK4C03907. The second one was a 2005 Trek Navigator, 18.5, blue with gold, serial #ITK4D05020. If you happen to come across either one of these bikes (or both!), please email me (robyn_griffiths@hotmail.com) with any information. Thanks.
Portland has seen a bit of snow in the past few days. Of course I’m missing all the fun down here in California, but through the wonders of the Internet I have come across a few photos and reports of intrepid Portland cyclists braving the conditions.
Check out Shawn Granton’s tale of his unexpectedly adventurous trip home. His advice for riding in the snow: “load up your saddlebags and keep a low center-of-gravity!”
And I just had this photo sent in to the BikePortland.org sticker gallery. It was taken in a backyard in the NE Alberta neighborhood.
What are your snow stories? I’d love to hear about your experiences biking around snowy Portland…
