[Editor’s note: This is the first article by new BikePortland.org contributor Elly Blue. Let’s give her a nice, warm welcome!]
Last month, I dropped by Last Thursday on Alberta to visit local artist Carye Bye. I was pedaling pretty slowly, gawking at the art, the oddly-dressed hipsters, the musicians, and the improbable bikes when someone in a car behind me honked their horn and I reluctantly sped up.
Then, Someone on a bike ahead of me swerved away from a car nosing its way through the intersection.
Carye was doing a brisk trade, but just starting to enjoy herself. It’s becoming increasingly stressful to set up her table, she said, due to competition for sidewalk space. Later, I walked a few blocks down the street and back, and could barely move through the claustrophobic crush of people squeezed together on the narrow sidewalk.
The Ecotrust building in Northwest Portland is one of my favorite places to work; it’s quiet, connected, and caffeinated.
It’s also home to eco-friendly global retailer Patagonia. I passed by their storefront the other day and noticed an in-store bike rack and curiously bikey signage. I had to investigate.
I met employee Tim Reinhardt and he told me that as of June, they’ve started their own bike commuter challenge. According to Tim, at a recent managers meeting, each store was asked to come up with three initiatives to “reduce the store’s ecological footprint.”
When some cyclists got wind of a Jammin 95.5 picnic event at Grant Park on Saturday many in the community urged them not to attend. There was a concern that if any cyclists showed up it would just incite the radio station’s fans and tarnish an already tense situation.
Jasun Wurster disagreed. He thought a public park was the perfect place to peacefully demonstrate the community’s concerns about the situation, so he organized a bike picnic. Wurster set up a website with information and notified the Portland Police Bureau to make sure they were well aware of the situation and his intentions (they were).

Molly Cameron, owner of downtown Portland’s Veloshop is profiled in the “Wrench” section of the latest issue of Bicycling Magazine.
The article (on page 43 of the September issue) focuses on Molly’s committment to making sure nothing in her store is derived from animals. That means no leather saddles and no animal-derived proteins in the energy drinks she sells.
My bike was stolen at about 5:30 pm on Sunday July 15th. I had a cable lock that was cleanly cut indicating bolt cutters of some kind. The guy who stole the bike looked “normal” wore shorts with tube socks pushed down, had a back pack (probably to store the cutters) with wide shoulder straps, and wore a baseball type hat with black being the primary color. My bike was stolen from NW 11th and NW Couch and was a grey Trek 4300 19.5″ 2004 model. It had hardly been used, probably ridden 7 times total.
If you could post the above notice I would appreciate it. It seems that a lot of bikes in that area have been stolen lately so maybe it will help people.
Thanks,
Dylan

Today, July 20 from 9 AM to 1:30 PM, my 1990’ish Trek 820 Mountain Track bike was stolen in front of Legacy Emanuel Hospital, where I work. It is green and has a golden front shock, a Judy RockShox from many years ago when I endo’ed and killed the original part. It’s a 21 gear mountain bike with mostly memories for value, I just would like to see it again.

My bike was stolen last thursday morning. I immediately reported it stolen. It was a silver cannondale v500 with an obx sticker, serfas gel seat, moutain rack rear gear rack, extra hand grips that come up like mountain bike grips, a green kids bell, a jannd underseat gear sack, a front-mount gear bag, powergrips straps on pedals, and special pedals with one side spd and other for the straps. Plus there was a pump in the pouch and lights and a lock on the bike. I hate myself. Ugh 8-[ Please help. That bike was the world to me.
