Well, I hope Mr Nicholas finds happyness (on two wheels) in whatever he decides to do in the future.
All The Best!
JN has been one of the main forces behind Portland and Oregon’s bike friendliness, as well as a damn good writer. His recent stand against the Oregon Zoo’s treatment of its elephants was as eloquent as anything he’s ever written. The big O is in trouble – David Reinhardt also announced in his Sunday Column that he’s leaving after the election (though he blames intolerant liberals for his decision (!) – I’ll still miss the imaginary arguments I had with him nearly every week.) I wish Jonathan Nicholas all the best and hope he gets even more saddle time now.
Here’s hoping Nichols finds new employment near a bike boulevard! Thanks for all your great work with the O, Jonathan.
Best of luck in your future endeavors Jonathan.

David Reinhard leaving is a BAD thing? I just hope he doesn’t land at the Columbian!
I’ve always enjoyed Mr Nichol’s writing, especially about his travels by bike.
One day I’ll work up the guts (and fitness!) to try a Cycle Oregon– it sounds like on heck of an adventure!
I went to one of this summer’s Summer Streets. I wasn’t all that impressed.
Thanks for all you’ve done, Jonathan…I hope we won’t lose the stirring pro-bike editorials I’ve been enjoying since you joined the editorial board.
