Yesterday I joined 800 fellow Portland cyclists and 100 gallons of ice-cream for the first-ever Hottest Day of the Year Ride.
It started with riders of all ages staging at the Lucky Lab brewpub in Northwest Portland.
Day: August 7, 2006
Stolen: Co-Motion track bike
I was on my way to my car tonight to go race at the track and when I got
to my car someone had broken into it (smashed the window with a piece
of concrete), opened the trunk and stole my track bike (Custom Silver
Co-Motion TT with blue panels, a Zipp disc and FSA RD-488 front
wheel)!!
So please keep an eye out and ears peeled for any info about it.; i.e.
some crackhead trying to sell a fancy bike for $200, and let me or the
police know. There is a police report # – 06-325898.
Thanks a lot and let me know if you see or hear anything.
My contact info is;
H (206) 525-5002
W (206) 770-7779 x 126
C (206) 920-8341

Thanks again all!

Messengers break out the sticks

In response to the following comments made by the traffic court judge in the Ayla Holland/fixed-gear trial,
“If your client had a stick she could rub against her tire, you’d have a case.”
many local messengers are now equipped with stick-brakes.
They are also holding a stick-braking competition.
