U-lock maker Kryptonite is partnering up with the City of Portland Office of Transportation (PDOT) to develop and install two new on-street bike parking “corrals” in the Pearl District.
The new bike parking structures will go in front of Pacific Northwest College of Art at NW 13th and Johnson and in front of Acorn Cafe at 539 NW 13th.

The City of Portland will lead a bike ride to celebrate the grand opening of the recently completed Naito Parkway Reconstruction Project.
This morning on the northwest corner of SE 36th and SE Hawthorne Blvd., crews installed the long–awaited bike oasis parking structure. The $40,000 project is part of PDOT’s Hawthorne Boulevard Project.
The new bike parking structure sits on a newly-extended curb (that took away 1 1/2 motor vehicle parking spaces) and offers cyclists a covered, protected area to lock up. The facility consists of steel framework (that will eventually be covered with glass that will extend six inches beyond the ribbing) and there are 10 mini-staple racks placed in an offset pattern.

The Oregonian has the word from Salem on the fixed gear bill.
Senate Bill 729 — which seeks to clarify the existing bicycle brake requirement so that fixed-gear bicycles don’t need an additional brake (as long as they meet the performance standard) — should now have smooth sailing to the Governor’s desk after the Oregon House voted in favor of it last night by a vote of 41-15.
The bill already passed the Senate and now is just one small step (a Senate approval of some minor House changes) from becoming Oregon law.
