Got this email from an employee at Nautilus, Inc. in Vancouver (WA):

Local media outlets continue to be interested in the topic of bike safety.
The latest to chime in is the Willamette Week. In this week’s issue, they devote their cover and nine pages to a story by Corey Pein titled, “Vicious Cycle: Turns out Portland’s not so bike-friendly. Here’s how it could be.”
Remember PDOT’s new “I brake for people” pedestrian safety campaign I posted about a few weeks ago?
Now you too can be the proud owner of the cool bumper sticker shown above.
KATU has the story of a collision last Friday in Hillsboro that resulted in the death of 47 year-old Hillsboro resident Kerry Alfred Teufel.
Here’s what they reported:
Dan Kaufman of CrankMyChain! Cycle TV has posted his video from last weekend’s Cross Crusade Halloween fest.
It’s an awesome video that captures the fun-loving spirit of Portland’s signature cyclocross series, the River City Bicycles Cross Crusade.
Not only does the video capture the zany costumes, racing action, and characters of the Crusade, but (as usual) Dan created and performed an original song to go with it (accompanied by PDOT’s Greg Raisman on harmonica!).
Watch the video via YouTube below, or go to CrankMyChain.com for a higher quality version.
Noticed this story on KGW yesterday:
“A Portland cyclist launched to the asphalt will get a $100,000 settlement check from the City of Portland.
The city forgot to change a sewer grate when it created a bike lane in Southwest Portland.
Essentially, it accidentally set a trap and cyclist Gary Dunkley fell right into it.”
