Opening ceremonies included a ribbon cutting, some cookies and coffee, and of course elected officials (their joke, not mine).

I went out there and tried it out. Was perhaps the first person to use the supplied bike stand for actual repairs (threw the chain).

Nice locker for those who can ride to the Transit Center, but don't need to drag their bike on the MAX, or Buses with them. Peak hours are 3¢ per hour, and 1¢ for off peak. Cards are available for purchase from TriMet, and are a minimum of $20. Which I'm told would last about 10 weeks of normal everyday commuting. More info is found on TriMet's Bike & Ride Website (http://trimet.org/howtoride/bikes/bikeandride.htm).

Rubberside Down!

Looks great!

I hope this works for people that don't have a 6 mile commute at the other end of their Trimet ride in to an area under-served by Trimet.

Luckily for me my schedule is a 12 hour shift which puts me on the MAX around 5:30am to work and about 7:30 pm going home. Annoying as this shift is it means that I avoid all but the Friday night crowds and special event mobs.

Am I reading this correctly: 3 cents/hour peak? As in $.03?

That's right... less than a nickel an hour during peak hours.
