The Sprockettes—Portland’s very own synchronized, mini-bike dance troupe—have been very busy lately. In addition to adding a new member (congrats Reena!), they’ve just released a few images from their 2007 calendar and announced plans for a big benefit party coming up in November.
Last year’s calendar sold so well, they’re doing it again this year. The calendar is a fund-raiser and features all the ladies doing their thing in creatively pink-ified photographs. The calendar isn’t printed yet, but stay tuned for details on where you can get one.

Updated: Starbucks employee says his manager discouraged bike use
[Update: The Director of Corporate Communications for Starbucks has responded to this story with a prepared statement.]

Starbucks store manager]
30 year-old Northeast Portland resident Fabian Mills used to manage the Starbucks store on 102nd and Halsey near the Gateway Transit Center.
Back in August he rode his bike to a district meeting and got a surprising reaction from his new district manager, Frances Ericson. Here’s how it went down according to Mills:
“She pulled me aside and said she would prefer that I drove to the meeting. She asked me if I even had a car and then said it was inappropriate to ride my bike. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing but she actually said she would prefer if I drove a car and that it was unprofessional to ride a bike to work.”

[Benefit event flyer]
Stumptown Coffee founder Duane Sorenson makes regular trips to farms around the world to source his prized beans. On a recent trip to a coffee co-op in Rwanda, he asked one of the farmers if there was anything Stumptown could do to help them out.
The answer? He just wanted a bike.
This request resonated with Sorenson and with the help of some of his bike-loving clientele back in Portland, Bikes to Rwanda was born.
The new group’s mission is to,
