About that KGW-TV segment on Portland’s Bike Theft Task Force
By Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on April 14th, 2021 at 12:01 pm
Screen grab from interview with KGW host Dan Haggerty.
A segment that aired Tuesday night on KGW, Portland’s NBC affiliate station, got a few things wrong about bike theft in Portland. (Note: See update at end of story posted on 4/16.)
The Story with Dan Haggerty spent about six minutes on the topic, framed around the assertion that the Portland Police Bureau’s Bike Theft Task Force (BTTF) has been “eliminated” due to recent police budget cutbacks.
Unfortunately, the central idea and framing of the segment is untrue. The BTTF is alive and was never shut down. Worse yet, host Dan Haggerty perpetuates harmful and unfair stereotypes about people who live on the street.[Read more…]

Portland cycling leaders at front of transgender cycling fight
By Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on April 8th, 2021 at 11:23 am
Portlander Molly Cameron in Bicycling.
Anti-transgender legislation proposed in many states across the country has spurred local cycling leaders to step up, speak out, and fight back.
According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), 31 states are currently considering bills that would limit health care to transgender youth and/or prevent transgender youth from playing sports.
Arkansas is one of the states leading the charge. It’s also slated to host the 2022 UCI Cyclocross World Championships. In addition to this high-profile event that’s likely to draw many racers from the Portland region, Arkansas has become a cycling mecca in recent years. That’s because it’s home to Walmart, whose young heirs’ love of cycling has led to massive investments to attract bike companies and riders seeking fun trails.[Read more…]
