In light of last week’s post about the new downtown development that will include a 3,000 square foot “bike hub”, I have obtained a drawing of the proposed ground floor layout.
These plans give you a more detailed look at how the developer will situate the bike facility.
I’ll definitely keep track of this exciting project so stay tuned for more developments.

Last week, there was a lot of discussion about a stop sign enforcment mission by the Traffic Division of the Portland Police Bureau (PPB). In response to a citizen complaint, they sent several officers out to SE 23rd and Salmon Streets to nab law-breaking cyclists.
Until now, the one group we hadn’t heard from was the Traffic Division. I am pleased to have gotten permission from Lieutenant Mark Kruger to publish his thoughts from an email correspondence we had last Friday.
Portland’s very own Springwater Corridor Trail is the subject of a beautiful cover photo and feature story in the Summer issue of Rails to Trails Magazine. The magazine is available to members of the Rails to Trails Conservancy.
They called the Springwater, “a stunning and well-planned urban connector” that “embodies the spirit of Portland.”

As I reported back in March, a group of community activists and artists are working on a new “Share the Road” mural that will soon adorn the side of Hawthorne Auto Clinic (4307 SE Hawthorne) in Southeast Portland.

On Friday May 12 my custom built road bike was stolen while chained to a bike rack at the corner of NW 13th and Kearney.
The bike has a Boulton Frame maroon in color. Boulton frames are extreemly rare so I am hoping this makes the bike easy to spot. Shimano Ultegra components and Cane Creek wheels with red tires (unsure brand).
This is the first time I had a bike stolen so any other info needed or tips is greatly appreciated. Any and all information can be sent to chrisj0619@mac.com or by cell at 503-680-1512.
Thanks to everyone that reads this and the people behind this site!
