Ok this bike is my favorite bike and it got stolen right from my porch this morning around 11:30
Its a flat black Miyata that has many many microcosism stickers all over it. It has only a front brake and the brake handle isnt bolted on to the frame. The handle bars are bull horn handle bars that I cut myself. The d-railor is removed so its a single speed without the actual single speed converstion. Any infomation or you have spoted this bike please call me at 503-281-3239 and ask forJonny. This bike is my job so I REALLY NEED IT!
Tomorrow is the start of Shift’s annual Pedalpalooza, an unprecedented frenzy of bike fun.
I think we’re pushing nearly 150 bike events over the next 17 days. If you haven’t seen the calendar and mapped out your plan of attack, do it now.
Things get off to a rollicking start with tomorrow’s Kickoff Parade leaving from Jamison Square (NW 10th and Johnson). Get there at 5:45 to decorate your rig (compliments of SCRAP) and get ready for a fantastic, fully escorted, no stopping, take-over-the-streets spin through downtown.
Check out this article in today’s Willamette Week.
Reporter Angela Valdez covers the recent bike theft recovery story and says some nice things about BikePortland.org.
I love this quote she got from Corey (the guy that confronted the thief):
North Portland BikeWorks is a non-profit, collectively run bike shop and learning center on Mississippi Street. Far from just selling and working on bikes, they provide information, resources and programs to the community and they are particularly known for their Women and Trans Bike Repair Nights, a free workshop that happens every Wednesday night from 6-8pm.
This popular program is now in its fourth year and has given hundreds of people the skills to works on their bikes in a safe and supportive atmosphere. This entirely donation-based event is the only one of its kind in the nation.
