[Mural designer Sara Stout with Hawthorne Auto Clinic owners Liz Dally and Jim Houser.]
I love that headline.
Imagine...an auto clinic that believes so strongly in the health and safety of our streets that they put a mural full of pedestrians and cyclists on the wall of their parking lot.
At the dedication party last night [...]

the theft.
The bike was a purplish electric blue Novara with Shimano gears/shifters
etc. A distinguishing feature is that it has the nice curved handle bar
extensions, but [...]

I got a surprising phone call yesterday from ODOT regional manager Charles Sciscione. He was responding to my post back on June 15th titled, St. Johns Bridge still unsafe after 75 years.
I wrote that post out of frustration that ODOT was celebrating the 75 year anniversary of the bridge by touting the recent renovation [...]

[Scene from a recent bike move.]
A producer with the BBC has been poking around the bike scene recently. I heard she was putting together a story about Portland's sustainability and wanted to feature something about bikes.
At first she mentioned wanting to talk with someone who makes their living by bike but I encouraged her [...]

We're at a crossroads with the Jammin 95.5 situation and the community is choosing to venture down separate paths.
The choices are to either negotiate for a settlement and try to work with the station in good faith or to continue to protest by any means necessary until the [...]

If you haven't been in the presence of the inimitable Reverend Phil Sano than you haven't really experienced Portland bike culture. Rev Phil is a self-described bike culturist who's in the middle of many of Portland's bikey subcultures.

As I mentioned last week, P.K.—the embattled radio personality for KXJM whose recent on-air comments got him into some hot water—went for a bike ride with a local reporter.
Yesterday, a commenter tipped me off that he talked about this ride on his show last Thursday. I just finished listening [...]

I've been without an off-road bike in my stable for way too long. This is a big deal to me because back in the day I used to eat, sleep and breathe mountain biking.
So last week, when my neighbor dropped of his old Kona MTB on my porch (he got something [...]

[Sacrificing valuable floor space for bikes.]
The Ecotrust building in Northwest Portland is one of my favorite places to work; it's quiet, connected, and caffeinated.
It's also home to eco-friendly global retailer Patagonia. I passed by their storefront the other day and noticed an in-store bike rack and curiously bikey signage. I had to investigate.
I [...]
