Weekend Open Thread
Elly Blue has been writing about bicycling and carfree issues for BikePortland.org since 2006. Find her at http://takingthelane.com
Riding downtown to attend the 350.org climate action rally from 1-3 tomorrow. Bet I won’t be the only person on a bike THERE.
Got a sneak peak of the UBI Portland campus during the Tour de Builders ride this afternoon.
The new UBI facility is awesome, with one building an open class room and another that will be dedicated to frame building.
Queen Bee (purses and panniers) is moving into the front of the UBI classroom building.
Family Bicycling Demo day from 11:00 – 4:00 at NW 10th and Hoyt.
Family Solution Workshop from 4:00 – 7:00 — If you are a cycling mom, please consider attending. Otherwise the dads will dominate the scene!
If this Craigslist posting is legit, this guy may have found the prime source of stolen bikes in town… http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/1436639401.html
From the Craigslist posting:
“I considered reporting him to the police. Then I realized the best way to neutralize this problem is to expose him to the people in the community he steals from.”
Um, no, if the C-list poster really caught the alleged thief in the act of stealing bicycles, then the best way to “neutralize the problem” would have been to call the police to report a theft in progress.
Yeah, that was why I wondered if it was real- why wouldn’t you go have the guy busted? If it is real, I hope a lot of people see their lost rides again.
me? i dunno yet….
i had fun already, though.
i am going to drive my car around some today, i bet.
