It’s been almost a year since I last shared information about my visitor statistics. Given everything that has happened on this site, one year ago seems like ancient history so I figured it was time to reflect on how traffic to this site has grown.
I’m happy to share that yet another bicycle has been recovered due to this site and the vigilance of our bike community. This time the bike was the beloved, vintage Ritchey belonging to Jack Newlevant. He has documented the story well on his personal website. Here’s an excerpt from his story:
“I locked my 1986 (Tom) Ritchey “Outback” and my helmet with a fairly heavy cable to an 8-ft tall signpost in front of a nice restaurant in downtown Portland on Tuesday 8/22/06. The bike, helmet, cable & padlock were all gone an hour later.
Last week I ran into Natalie Ramsland of Sweetpea Bicycles at a backyard party. We both bike a lot for transportation or work, and were talking about how we choose our clothes based on their bike-worthiness.
Natalie said she chooses all her jeans by testing whether or not she can fit her U-lock in the back pocket. (She’ll even run outside to her bike to check, if the salespeople will let her.) Someone standing with us pointed out that a lot of thought goes into pocket design on women’s jeans, from a stylistic perspective. Natalie laughed, and said if she cared about that, where would she put her lock?

Seth Hosmer, a 31 year-old Woodstock neighborhood resident and racer with the CMG Racing/Alpine Mortgage Cycling Team set a new hour record Saturday at the Alpenrose Velodrome.
According to OBRA‘s Candi Murray Seth took advantage of “ideal conditions” and pedaled his bike around the fabled banked course just over 166 times in an hour for a total of 44.64438 km, beating the previous record (set by Todd Duncan in 2005) by only .39 kilometers. Seth rode 27.73 mph for an entire hour!*
