We all know the failing, old, Sellwood Bridge is a major broken link in our transportation network. Or, as the BTA puts it:
“The Sellwood Bridge has extremely dangerous and inadequate bicycle and pedestrian facilities (a single 4-foot sidewalk on one side only)….the BTA has determined that the Sellwood Bridge is the major barrier to bicycling in the Portland region.”
Yesterday I got my first, hands-on look at the fruits of Shimano’s new Coasting product initiative.
Only three manufacturers (Raleigh, Trek and Giant) are licensed to make bikes with Coasting and I gave Trek’s offering, the “Lime Light” a closer look.
Front and Rear Shocks, Blue and Silver Frame, looks new, thumb gears, straight bars, broken rear fender, light clips but not lights (I have them),the small reflectors that come on it, kick stand, hybrid tires, gears have a protective circle to help keep you from catching your pant leg (it came on the bike),

After months of planning, residents of southwest Portland, led by super-citizen trail advocate and Alice Award nominee Don Baack, have come up with a map of a new southwest bike network.
Baack, who leads the group Southwest Trails, has been working hard to garner neighborhood feedback and collaborate with PDOT to include these recommendations in the upcoming Bicycle Master Plan update.

The National Bike Summit may be over, but the work has just begun.
Hundreds of advocates from around the country (430 to be exact) are now more energized, educated, and empowered than ever before to bring bikes into the mainstream consciousness of America.
Back in January, River City Bicycles announced a contest to find Portland’s “Commuter of the Year”.
Owner David Guettler asked for nominations through ads in local weekly newspapers and according to the shop’s Event Manager Jason Bietz, over 60 people responded to the challenge, “They sent in everything from home videos, a 37-day string of hand-made postcards, and a hardbound book!”
