My KONA Jake the Snake cyclocross bike (silver, size 56) was stolen a couple of months ago at the corner of SE 8th and Main St. (near the Lucky Lab). It’s a 2001 model and the silver paint is hard to miss.
At the time, it had a rack on the back and a blue Montrail water bottle. My guess is that if I ever see it again, those things will no longer be on the bike….but who knows?
If you see this bike, please email me at beckybrun@hotmail.com.
Thanks!

Sara Stout is a tremendous asset to cyclists around the world. In addition to travelling internationally as a member of the World Carfree Network, she is one of the founding members of Shift, a BTA bike safety educator, and co-host of the KBOO Bike Show. Right now she’s in NYC, fighting for the rights of arrested cyclists and trying to get her head around why that city treats cyclists like terrorists. I asked Sara to share some thoughts about what she’s been doing:
“My main mission here in NYC has been to work on recruiting and training a team of legal observers to monitor Critical Mass on behalf of the World Carfree Network. For the past year and a half, I have been reporting to the World Carfree Network about the treatment of cyclists here in NYC, especially at Critical Mass rides.”
There’s an interesting new group in town called the Community Exchange Cycle Touring Club. I noticed their Yahoo Group linked from a listing on the Shift Calendar.
The group is based in southeast Portland and was started by 40-something electrical engineer Steven Kung, a veteran of several international bike tours and a professionally trained mechanic. Here’s more from Steven:
