Bikey band rocks for Ghana benefit

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

Bikey band Gatas en Zapatas—Spanish for “cats in shoes”—is playing this Saturday night at Mississippi Pizza Pub as part of a benefit event for the Village Bicycle Project’s Ghana Women’s Bicycle Initiative.

The bikes that will be shipped to Ghana have already been loaded onto a shipping container and are ready to go. The only things missing are the funds to send them; that’s where the benefit show comes in.

The night will feature Ghanaian drummer Chata Addy, a short video about the Women’s Bicycle Initiative, a silent auction. Gatas en Zapatas, as Shawna puts it, are “the dessert at the end of the night.”

Lawyer's Ride and CBS News

[Mark Ginsberg in
his other suit.]

Mark Ginsberg is a Portland-based lawyer who specializes in bicycle-related cases. He’s also the guy who represented messenger Ayla Holland in the infamous fixed gear brake trial.

Since that case, the Portland Police have continued to scrutinize bicyclists. They’re citing not only brakeless fixed-gear bicycle riders without handbrakes, but several other infractions that may not stand up in court including; not using hand signals (which cyclists are not required to do), not riding in the bike lane (which is not always required), and others.

New signal makes a lot of noise

New signal at 41st and Burnside

[Curbside service]

You’ve just gotta’ love Portland. Where else would the installation of a new bicycle and pedestrian traffic signal stir up so much media interest?

Just activated on Monday morning, the new experimental HAWK (High Intensity Activated Walk) signal on 41st and Burnside has already been featured in the Oregonian, on OPB radio and KGW television.

I went out there yesterday morning to snap some photos and check it out for myself.
