This year, the Portland Mercury stepped up to partner with Shift’s Pedalpalooza event (the 2+ week, 200+ event biking extravaganza that starts today!).
The Mercury is helping Shift with their big Dance Party on Saturday night and they’re distributing the official Pedalpalooza Calendar in their “Bike Issue” that just hit the streets this morning.
If you haven’t checked out the Mercury this week, do it now! Here’s a rundown of the bikey features:

The Mercury is starting to redeem itself in my mind for the homophobic "queer" issue last week.
