[New on-street bike parking!]

On my way up Mississippi Street today I passed by a brand new, on-street bike parking facility at N. Beech Street, right in front of Amnesia Brewing. It’s very exciting to see this because it’s been in the works for over two years!
Ever since a similar bike-parking facility was put up […]

We recently modified our employee bike parking […]

A few months ago I was smitten with PDX airport because of their new and vastly improved bike access. After reading my post, several folks were inspired to ride to the airport to take advantage of the new bike lane and enclosed long-term bike parking facility.
However now all that has changed. A few […]

Just came across a nifty little bike parking map on the Lloyd District Transportation Management Association’s website. It’s got information and photos on all the racks and bike lockers in the Lloyd District. You just roll over various points and a little window pops up. Neat!
However I must admit, I can’t remember […]

Yes folks, it’s true. Here’s the excerpt from the Times Online (UK) story.

On Saturday I helped the BTA park bikes at the Blues Festival. It felt great to help fellow bikers with such a cool service. Everyone was really thankful for the BTA’s work in setting it up and over the course of the fest. I bet they parked at least 1000 bikes (if not […]
