Today, July 20 from 9 AM to 1:30 PM, my 1990’ish Trek 820 Mountain Track bike was stolen in front of Legacy Emanuel Hospital, where I work. It is green and has a golden front shock, a Judy RockShox from many years ago when I endo’ed and killed the original part. It’s a 21 gear mountain bike with mostly memories for value, I just would like to see it again.

My bike was stolen last thursday morning. I immediately reported it stolen. It was a silver cannondale v500 with an obx sticker, serfas gel seat, moutain rack rear gear rack, extra hand grips that come up like mountain bike grips, a green kids bell, a jannd underseat gear sack, a front-mount gear bag, powergrips straps on pedals, and special pedals with one side spd and other for the straps. Plus there was a pump in the pouch and lights and a lock on the bike. I hate myself. Ugh 8-[ Please help. That bike was the world to me.

As part of an ongoing protest against how cyclists got shafted on the St. Johns Bridge last year, a group of “ciclonudistas” is rallying the troops for their second annual naked protest ride (here’s a report from last year).
A little background:
Last year, the Oregon Department of Transportation completed a major renovation of the St. Johns Bridge, the northernmost Willamette River crossing in the city and a key connection for thousands of North Portland residents to popular recreational bike routes and Highway 30.
My Trek 520 was stolen outside the Hollywood Trader Joe’s on Tuesday, July 11th around 8pm. It’s a 2002 model- dark green with clipless pedals, a rack, pump under the top tube, silver fenders, mud flap, tool bag, odometer…the works!
It was locked to the bike rack (with a U-Lock) just outside the east entrance of the store…and I was only inside for about 10 minutes! I’m heartbroken…
Please contact me if you see this sweet bike cruising around PDX. I would appreciate any information you might have for me.

Thanks!
I live in Seattle and got the wild and crazy idea to do the STP with my husband. We bought ALL the gear and brand new bikes, did 3 training rides and off we went. We completed the STP, actually did well and had a blast!! We stayed with family in Beaverton and our bikes were stolen from the backyard. There were completely out of sight and behind a locked fence! We are crushed and very angry!! Please feel free to edit out the whining if needed…

Looking to avoid a repeat of last year’s chaotic Bridge Pedal event, stakeholders and city agencies recently came together to discuss concerns and review the ’06 course.
Last year’s ride was unfortunately the victim of it’s own success (and maybe some poor planning). Several rest stops and other places on the route caused major bottlenecks and some grumbling from participants as well as city officials.
The craziness was due in part because there are three different routes (10, 8, and 6 bridge) and a walking event (Bridge Stride) all on the same day.
While at the Chris King Tour de France party last night, I heard someone mention that a guy rolled up on a bicycle made by Chris King himself. In all my years in the bike industry, including a stint as a King employee, I was surprised I’d never heard about this before.
For anyone not familiar with Chris, his hubs and headsets (made right here in Portland) are considered to be the best in the world and they have been ridden to three Tour de France victories by the US Postal Service and Discovery Channel teams.
In my previous post about a phone call with apologetic program manager Tim McNamara, I asked all of you if we should try and cut a deal with the station and move on, or if we should continue to pressure them until the tape is heard.
The response was mixed.
Last night I finally got down to the Lucky Lab to join the Chris King Tour de France viewing party. Chris King Components is based just a few miles from the Lab and they started the Tour party tradition last year when their headsets were ridden by Lance Armstrong to his 7th straight Tour victory.
Last night’s crowd was solid and the Lab was hot as Floyd Landis put in an epic effort to get back to the front of the race. King marketing guy Chris Distefano (seen here at the Bike Show) said it was a good crowd, but Tuesday’s Alpe d’Huez stage was even bigger,
