World Exotica party to benefit local bike club

Friday, September 29th, 2006

[Event flyer]

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 […]

Some streets are made for dancing, not driving

Friday, September 29th, 2006

Last night was the Last Thursday art celebration on NE Alberta Street. As usual, hoardes of people spilled off the crowded sidewalks and into the streets.

[Cars, bikes and people dangerously mix]

In one area (in front of the Star E. Rose Cafe), a DJ pumped out great music and a break-dancing session captivated the street. […]

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.

There’s truth to the observation that cyclists don’t […]

Honing skills at a cyclocross clinic

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Yesterday I finally made it out to one of the Alpenrose Cross Clinics put on by Team S&M and Sellwood Cycle Repair. I’ve heard the clinics have been very popular since they started earlier this month and this one (the final one) was no exception. There were at least 100 participants all […]
