PUMA debuts “Dear Dabby” column

Bike to Work Day

[The infamous Dabby.]

Some of you might be familiar with Dabby. He’s a regular commenter on this site, a long-time Portland bike messenger and a somewhat infamous, provocative and enigmatic character (check out Dabby in my photo archives).

Hoping to capitalize on his charisma, the Portland United Messenger Association (PUMA) has debuted a “Dear Dabby” column.

They’re taking your “Dear Dabby” questions and printing them on the PUMA website. If you’ve got something you’d like to ask an outspoken, veteran local bike messenger, now’s your chance. Just email Dabby at johnnyrocket29 [a] yahoo.com.

I would describe dabby as certifiably venerable.

maybe he will tell me how best to avoid tickets from motorcycle cops, they really seem to like me.

$243 x 3 = $729 and counting!
