Adaptive Bike Day on Saturday
This looks interesting…
Saturday, June 4th
Adaptive Bike Day with Portland Parks and Recreation
“Portland Parks & Recreation’s Disabled Citizens Recreation Program is co-sponsoring an adaptive bike day at the Eastbank Esplanade Plaza parking lot. Volunteers will help people use the bikes by following alongside or riding tandem on an adaptive bicycle. Volunteers will also promote safe biking by emphasizing the 10 things needed for safe biking (provided by PP&R). Light breakfast will be provided during the training, and water & snacks will be provided during the project. Come help us spread the joy of bicycling to a population that doesn’t always have access.”
“The Tour Baby” coming to Portland
A great new bike film about life behind-the-scenes of the Tour de France is coming to the Bagdad Theater for two nights, June 22 and 23rd. More info on this website.
Here’s a blurb:
The Tour Baby! chronicles Scott Coady’s amazing journey following the entire Tour de France. Watch as Scott embarks on an adventure of a lifetime armed only with a Sony digital camera, his passion for cycling, and a beat up Avis rental van he called home for a month. Experience first-hand the excitement and drama of the world’s most difficult and grueling sporting event.
Last I heard the raffle will include some pretty stellar prizes. Tickets just went on sale and will probably sell out quick. Get yours here
A local Portland resident put all this together in memory of a friend lost to cancer. All the money raised at these showings will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation to fund cancer research. Learn more about The Tour Baby on the website.
Bike law handbook
Just caught wind of this info from the BTA:
“The Bicycle Transportation Alliance and bicycle lawyer Ray Thomas announce the release of the new, revised 4th edition of “Pedal Power: A Legal Guide for Oregon Cyclists.”
For over ten years, lawyer and bicycle activist Ray Thomas has been teaching a “cyclists’ legal clinic” to interested cyclists. In his clinic, Mr. Thomas translates vehicle code from “Legalese” into English, clarifying the rights and responsibilities laid out for cyclists under the Oregon law. Since 1999, the information has also been available in book form.”
To purchase your copy call 503.226.0676, email info@bta4bikes.org or stop by the BTA office at 717 SW 12th Ave in downtown Portland. More info on the book and other BTA goodies can be found here.
