Post: Benson Hotel gets new bike lane markings
Note: I picked this comment not only because I think it adds some valuable insight into what was a heated discussion, but because it’s rare that we get the unmistakable C.H.U.N.K. perspective on the issues.

Bikey journalist moves on
Angela Valdez, the well-known staff writer at the Willamette Week has left the local independent weekly and will now ply her trade at The Stranger up in Seattle.
Angela is probably best known for a defining moment that will forever connect her to bikes and Portland.
On July 27th, 2005 she was hit by a car at NE 15th and Prescott and nearly paralyzed forever. The cover story she wrote just one month later titled, “Biker, Interrupted” is the most honest and sobering bit of writing I’ve ever seen in the Willy Week.

Not sure if the writers had my site in mind, but hey, I’ll take whatever I can get ;-).
Seriously though, check out the solid bike scene coverage in this free ‘zine. You can download a PDF of the entire issue on their website.
