Mark / (503) 823.6736
Day: August 17, 2006
Stolen: Raleigh Record
my POS raleigh record. Initially was a dark red, now covered in duct tape.
straightish handlebars with mtb bar ends. most notable about the bike
would be the strange looking ergonomic seat which has no front part and is
put up very high. stomp pedals with yellow power grip straps. silver
spedometer “cycolmeter” brand that’s always on. two bottle cages, back one
is black front one is rusted with the top bent out of shape. rear wheel
has a broken spoke wrapped around another spoke. 27×1.25 tires. Red rear
blinker attached to the seat post. Nice black rack, attached to the seat
strangly.Stolen from 53rd and stark today 7-11-06 during the middle of the
day. I could not imagine anyone trying to sell it. I do see them
abandoning it on the eastside after they realize what a piece of crap bike
it is (I still love it and use it to get all around portland). Really I
had no idea anyone would bother trying to steal this bike. If you see it
please call Nathan at 503-239-3972 anytime.
small addendum: bike was stolen on 8/11/06 and feel free to list
yardko @ yahoo.com as my email, thanks

I had a blue Diamonback 20″ Mountainbike stolen a week ago from SW Portland.
It was almost new, and had low-end RST shocks on it.

Yesterday was the public hearing on the SK Northwest development case. Unfortunately I wasn’t there but here’s a report from what I’ve heard and read so far.
According to Evan Manvel of the BTA there were about 45 people there which is “significantly more than these hearings usually get.”
The BTA showed up to support the City’s ruling against the development and to, “deflect some arguments put forth by the applicants.” Here’s more from Evan’s post on the BTA Blog:
“The developers argued that the trail wasn’t a transportation facility, because it’s managed by Portland Parks rather than PDOT. They argued that they….weren’t impacting public access to the river and hence should not be required to improve such access. They also argued that bicyclists much prefer bike lanes to off-street paths.

There was interesting story in Sunday’s Oregonian about a rise in motorcycle fatalities in Oregon. The headline read, “Beware the thrill of the open road” and as I read it I couldn’t help but think how motorcyclists and bicyclists share common concerns and experiences.
BTA on the move
After a long search, the BTA has finally found a new home.
Their current digs (at SW 12th and Morrison) are cozy but cramped and the new space (at 1979 SW 5th) will give the growing BTA staff, “more space, private offices and better conference and work areas.”
And, in true Portland fashion, they’re hoping to move most of their stuff via bike power. According to director Evan Manvel,
