Portland Carfree Days – Day 1

Portland Car Free Days (Day 1)

Yesterday was the kick-off to Portland Carfree Days. The event, which runs through Sunday (9/24) drew a enthusiastic crowd who basked in the carfree atmosphere on SW Ankeny Street between 2nd and 3rd avenues.

There was a lot to check out; Carfree Day t-shirts, free maps and resources from PDOT, Carye Bye’s awesome, limited-edition Shift birthday postcards, the amazingly good food of master chef John that benefitted the Get Lit program, and of course friends old and new.

— The Portland Water Bureau is feeling the bike love. They’ve just announced a new employee bike program and earlier this year they hosted two rides through their facilities; Cycle the Well Field and a ride through the Bull Run Watershed (which was so popular they turned people away!). [Thanks to Jessica Roberts for the tip.]

— In case you missed it, I interviewed U.S. Congressman Earl Blumenauer over on ISharetheRoad.com.
