Eurobike announcement surprised POVA too
Although they met at Interbike and were in the midst of ongoing discussions, the Portland Oregon Visitor’s Association (POVA) did not expect Messe Friedrichshafen’s big announcement to bring a major bicycle trade show to Portland in September of 2007.
In a conversation today with POVA’s VP of Sales, Michael Smith, I learned that the two groups were still in the “qualifying stages”, and that the announcement caught them completely by surprise.

Yesterday Hillsboro (a few miles West of Portland) played host to the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross (USGP). By all accounts, the rain-soaked course did little to dampen the spirits of the racers and the spectators.
In fact, the challenging conditions were welcomed by many. In a report on VeloNews.com, USGP series director Bruce Fina said,
“if I could race any single day of the series, I would race on this day, because of the epic scale of it. The winner today will be a hard man.”
Community Cycling Center announces safety grants
The Community Cycling Center has just announced their annual Bicyclist Safety Mini-Grant Program. These grants (up to $5,000) are available for projects that, “promote the safety of bicyclists in Oregon.”
Last year, these grants helped fund the Share the Road Mural, a Shift helmet giveaway, and the popular Get Lit program.
The grants are available statewide and are made possible by funding from ODOT’s Transportation Safety Division.
