Mini-bike chariot building 101
New to Zoobomb’s Mini-Bike Winter this year are the much-anticipated Chariot Wars (yes chariots, as in Ben Hur). To help ready the masses for this series of competitions a chariot building workshop was held over the weekend.
Attendees were given a handout that covered all the various design and welding issues one might face when constructing a chariot.
Notice the fairing enclosed frame, non-slip platform (chicken wire), and padded pulpit of Gabriel Amadeus’s chariot (it still awaits a paint job):
PDOT announces Bicycle Brown Bag Series
As a follow-up to their Portland Bike Summit last June, PDOT will hold a series of “brown bag” discussions on the third Thursday of every month from 12-1:00PM on the second floor of the Portland Building (1120 SW 5th).
Here is the schedule:
In the shop with Joseph Ahearne
[Joseph Ahearne, Ahearne Cycles]
When I walked through the door of Joseph Ahearne’s new shop in North Portland, he didn’t even look up. Hunched over and deep in concentration, he gazed into a white-hot flame and danced around a frame clasped into the stand; constantly tweaking it to get just the right angle for his torch and flux. Like the conductor of an alchemy orchestra, he moved his torch up-and-down, working to get just the right combination of heat and flux to make the fillet-brazed joints as smooth and clean as possible.
TriMet adds bike section to Bus Operator Manual
This Saturday (1/13) will mark the one-year anniversary of when we all first heard about Randy Albright’s lawsuit against TriMet.
That lawsuit — which was spurred by Albright being buzzed by a bus on the Hawthorne Bridge — has had a lasting impact on our community in many ways.
It led to an “I Share the Road” campaign at PDOT, it started an important (and sometimes ugly) community dialogue about the need to be considerate of all roadway users (including giving donuts and thanks to TriMet drivers), and it led to a mountain of media coverage.
My new and improved links page
I’m finally done with my new links page! It doesn’t look much different than the old one, but it is much more organized, has lots of new links, and most importantly it’s easier for me to update. Check it out:
