A new northbound bike lane has been installed on SE 4th Ave. between the entrance to the Springwater Corridor Trail and SE Caruthers Street (see map below).
If you ride in this area please be advised that due to a construction project, there is an ongoing enhanced police presence in this area (which I warned you about months ago but I still get calls and emails about).

Local cyclist imports trailers from Poland
first shipment of Extrawheels.
Photo: John Climaldi
Local recumbent enthusiast and general bike nut John Climaldi was looking through VeloVision Magazine one day when he came across something that was “so cool” he just had to know more. The product was the Extrawheel, a Poland-made bicycle trailer that wasn’t available in the U.S. …until now.
Despite the challenging language barrier, Climaldi tells me he’s now the official U.S. distributor of Extrawheel trailers. His first shipment is piled high in a storage facility in southeast Portland and he’s busy setting up an online storefront and signing up dealers.
Committee hears case for mountain biking in Portland
City Hall for last night’s Bicycle
Advisory Committee meeting.
File photo: 5/8/07
Symbolic of the pent-up demand for more mountain biking in Portland, nearly 40 people crammed into the Lovejoy Room inside City Hall last night for the most crowded Portland Bicycle Advisory Committee (PBAC) meeting I’ve ever attended.
The agenda for the night was cleared to make room for a mini-summit on mountain biking (or the lack thereof) in Portland; which has long been a neglected part of our cycling story.
The committee, which advises City Council on all matters related to bicycling, heard from both advocates and citizen cyclists who came to share their frustrations over a lack of off-road riding opportunities in and around Portland and their willingness to help change that reality.
