This bike was stolen from PSU campus the morning of 2.20.06 between 10:00 and 11:00 outside the Lincoln building. It was built up as a fixed gear. Black Bontrager rims laced to silver Surly hubset. Black Shimano 105 crankset and silver King headset.

Just got back from this morning’s Traffic Enforcement Action that was held at the intersection of NE Knott and 7th. These actions are a joint effort between the City of Portland Office of Transportation and the Portland Police Bureau. The goal is to raise awareness of neighborhood traffic laws, especially stop sign enforcement.
On the scene were bike activists Elly Blue, Jasun Wurster and Mark Ginsberg (also a bike lawyer), the Commander of the traffic division Bill Sinnott, city traffic safety specialist Greg Raisman, and John Canda, director of the NE Coalition of Neighborhoods. The media that showed up included KATU television and KPAM radio.
