The long-awaited, Dutch-inspired Electra Amsterdams have hit U.S. bike shops, and it just so happens there’s one in my basement right now ;-).

UPDATE: Read my review and see more photos of the Electra Amsterdam.
When I’ve worked downtown, the highlight of my commute has always been crossing the Hawthorne Bridge. The air quality changes, the breeze shifts, the river is right below you, and the view of other bridges, buildings, and if you’re lucky, a big freighter, make you feel connected to the city.
My friend John Climaldi shared some great news yesterday. British bike mag Cycling Plus has chosen this little ‘ol site as their “Website of the Month.”
I know this is pretty shameless promotion, but it’s an exciting bit of PR for BikePortland and I wanted to share it with all of you. Here’s the scan of the review:

Filmmaker Dan Kaufman — whose new Cross Crusade season DVDs sold briskly — said the event was like, “Saturday Market for bikes!”.
