Street Roots is a great local non-profit newspaper that employs people that live on the street (or are otherwise without a home of their own). They have a new column by the Portland Police Bureau’s bicycle community liaison Robert Pickett and they’ve covered many biking issues in the past. Editor Israel Bayer got in touch recently about their annual online auction. This year they’ve got lots of great bike-related items to bid on….
- An Xtracycle kit donated by Clever Cycles ($489 value).
- A $50 gift certificate donated by Citybikes.
- A merino wool jersey donated by Wabi Woolens ($160 value).
- A mountain biking adventure in Oakridge ($470 value).
- A ride with BTA leader and Mayor Adams’ transportation director.
And there’s more! Get over there and bid on some great stuff and support a vital local independent news source.
