Education about bicycle laws is a major factor in keeping our roads safe for everyone. Increasing awareness and understanding of these laws is just as important as any bike safety infrastructure or policy changes.
That’s why some cyclists are concerned that a quote attributed to a Portland Police Bureau employee and published by the Oregonian on Sunday, not only makes this education effort more difficult but it contributes to a more dangerous environment on our streets.

Press Release from Multnomah County:
New bridge design is focus of Sellwood Bridge online survey
If you have an opinion about what a new Sellwood Bridge should look like, Multnomah County wants to hear from you. An online survey offered through November 28 at www.sellwoodbridge.org lets the public recommend two preferred designs for a new Sellwood Bridge. Public input will help determine which two replacement bridge types — one moderately priced and one higher priced — are studied during the draft Environmental Impact Statement phase.
The online survey includes photo simulations of six bridge types, along with information about their features, advantages and limitations. Bridge types under consideration include:
A service to pay tribute to the life of Brett Jarolimek and a memorial ride through Forest Park has been planned.
Memorial ride: Meet at NW Thurman St. entrance to Forest Park at 4:30. Ride starts at 5:00. We will ride out and back on Leif Erickson Drive. This is a gravel road that might be muddy and impassable with narrow, slick tires. Equip yourself accordingly.
Memorial service: The event is open to the public and will be held at 6:30 pm in the commons area of Pacific Northwest College of Art (1241 NW Johnson), where Jarolimek graduated in 2003.
Wearing white t-shirts emblazoned with the words “No Blind Spots”, Cross Crusade founder Rick Potestio and race director Brad Ross said losing Brett Jarolimek was like losing “a member of the Cross Crusade family.”
Also speaking before a memorial lap was Bike Gallery’s Kris Schamp. He said,
“The Halloween Cross was one of Brett’s favorites, we’ll miss him here…but he’d want us to ride on, race on, and have fun while we’re at it.”
