I recently paid a visit to Sara Stout in the treehouse where she lives, paints, and tends to her bike fleet and aging dog Betty (a longtime fixture at bike moves). This week, the treehouse has been transformed into a BikeCraft factory, where Stout has been busily turning old materials into new, useful things.

When I dropped by, the final coat on a colorful tray of light-switch plate covers, was drying by the woodstove. Stout had moved on to making bicycle-shaped seat covers, with waterproof material above and a drawstring underneath.

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

“This new position proved to be my most challenging professional venture.”
— Scott Bricker

On November 18th, the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) announced that Scott Bricker would no longer be their leader. The firing was effective immediately, and it caught some in the community off guard. After all, Bricker had the longest tenure of any other BTA staffer.

Bricker has yet to respond at length to the personnel decision. Today, he sent out a letter to his friends and colleagues that he has given us permission to reprint in its entirety below:

Black/Celeste Bianchi Pista 1983?

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

Year: 1983?
Brand: Bianchi
Model: Pista
Color:Black/Celeste
Size:Men’s M
Serial: unsure
Stolen in Portland, OR 97205
Stolen:2009-11-25
Stolen From: 4th and Washington (Greek Cusina)
Neighborhood: Downtown
Owner: William Draves
OwnerEmail: dcccwi@gmail.com
Reward: $100+
Description: Black frame with celeste green logo, handlebar wrap, and brake cable. Front brake only. Single speed w/ freewheel, toe cages on the pedals. The bike USED to have a derailer but the mount had been sawed off when I got the frame 6 years ago so it can only ride as a single speed. The bike means a lot to me and if found I am offering a handsome cash reward. I believe the model is a Pista, made in the early 80’s, ’81 to ’83 I’m pretty sure. There are two out-of-state tags still on the frame from the 80’s, one is Hawaii.

Call 715-781-7888 if found. Thank you.
