World Exotica party to benefit local bike club

Way back in February I wrote about a new bike club in Portland called the Community Exchange Cycle Touring Club.
Since then this upstart club — led by Steven Kung — has been very busy. They’ve been leading weekly rides, hosting bike repair clinics at their Community Exchange Bike School (2503 SE [...]

Your stolen bike is on Craigslist…now what?

Friday, September 29th, 2006

[Hey! That's my bike!]

The other day I got a phone call from a reader in distress. He found his wife’s bike for sale on Craigslist. He was sure it was her bike, but he wasn’t sure how to proceed. I didn’t really have a good answer for him so I asked [...]

Scapegoating messengers and fixed-gear fallacies

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Nearly every time someone complains about how bicyclists are unsafe, uncourteous, dangerous, and suicidal riders, they nearly always mention messengers. Or “those downtown messengers” as the cop put it who wrote me a ticket for rolling through a four-way stop intersection on a sleepy bike boulevard.

The BTA has some new digs (1979 SW 5th Avenue) and they had a little office-warming party last night to make it official. I was able to make a quick visit to the open house to check things out.
It was great to see their new place all cleaned up. Last time [...]

Checking in on my visitor stats

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

It’s been almost a year since I last shared information about my visitor statistics. Given everything that has happened on this site, one year ago seems like ancient history so I figured it was time to reflect on how traffic to this site has grown.

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Last week I ran into Natalie Ramsland of Sweetpea Bicycles at a backyard party. We both bike a lot for transportation or work, and were talking about how we choose our clothes based on their bike-worthiness.
Natalie said she chooses all her jeans by testing whether or not she can fit her U-lock in [...]
