Description: I bought a modified Brooks Pro saddle with a custom cut in the center and black stitching across the bottom, holding the two sides together. I assumed it was stolen amd would like to get it back to the owner. I paid almost nothing for it. A customer came in the CityBikes annex the other day, reporting this stolen from PSU. Is this you? Do you know this guy? Get in contact.

Weekend Event Guide

This is just a selection from the many bike events going on this weekend. For more, including regular weekly or monthly events, see the Shift calendar.

An Oregon Department of Transportation repaving project will bring two new mid-block crossings to SE Powell Boulevard.

The $4 million (estimated) Powell Boulevard Pavement Preservation project will begin in Spring 2010 and will include repaving Powell from SE 51st Avenue to Interstate 205. In addition, ODOT will build new sidewalks (in compliance with ADA), and two new mid-block crossings.

Plan drawing for crossing of Spokane at SE 13th. Notice new refuge island, semi-diverter (allowing bicycles onto Spokane but not cars), and curb extension. Red boxes are places where on-street parking will no longer be allowed.

Bike Porn 3 trailer was released last night.
–Watch it here-.

Portland’s bike porn provocateur “Reverend” Phil Sano is back on the road. Sano and his crew are on their 16 city “Chain Whip” tour showing Bike Porn 3: Cycle Bound (note: trailer is NOT safe for work).

Sano’s collection of short films features bikes and their people doing everything imaginable to each other. And, as you might expect, the screenings are raising quite a few eyebrows.

If you’re still scratching your head, check this excerpt from an interview with Sano that ran Salt Lake City, Utah’s weekly newspaper last week.
