Weekend Event Guide

Cross Crusade is here!

This year, bike event season seems to only have sped up as the weather has gotten cooler. Tonight’s grand opening of the Artcrank poster show marks the beginning of six weeks of Oregon Manifest. The Manifest’s flagship events are also this weekend, in which 30 framebuilders are competing for judges’ approval and in a 77 mile race. The infamous Cross Crusade series opens on Sunday. As if that isn’t enough, there’s also a full lineup including a bike move, social rides, a wonky talk, and a movie.

A few weeks ago we wrote about a series of educational videos being created by new local org Intersection 911.

The first video urged viewers to stop and help out people who have a flat tire or other mechanical problems.

The second video, released this week, urges viewers to pass on the left, and to exit the bike lane before passing a slower rider. Watch it here (or here for a larger image):
