Update on a bike harasser named James

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward


Back in May, someone named Erica posted a topic in the Forums about a cyclist named James who harassed her on her morning commute. Her post has sparked tons of discussion, both in the Forums and in the comments of my post about women and creepy cyclists a few weeks ago.

I’ve been following the thread in the Forum and recently a Portland police officer with the username “PoPo” chimed in. James seemed familiar to him so he did some investigating.

Turns out he’s about “90% sure” he has a positive ID on the guy and he’s encouraging anyone who comes in contact with him again to call 911. Read Officer Pickett’s post for all the details.

I’ve received quite a bit of emails and feedback about this incident and I know several ladies have been messed with by this guy. It would be great to get him off the streets.
