For the third year, a who’s-who list of regional bigwigs and policy makers from Portland and Vancouver will escape from their cubicles for an up-close look at the highs-and-lows of our regional bikeway network.
The “Visionaries Voyage” was the brainchild of Cycle Oregon founder Jonathan Nicholas and Mike Houck of the Urban Greenspaces Institute.
I was lucky enough to be invited last year and it was a memorable experience (read my report and see photos here). Highlights included riding across the I-5 bridge with Vancouver Mayor Royce Pollard, and getting to know a whole host of planners and politicians.

New Belgium’s awesome explosion of bike craziness, the Tour de Fat, is coming to Portland this August. I’ve attended the last two years of this event and it’s something you don’t want to miss.
Besides the usual downtown bike parade, live performances (including our own Sprockettes, who will be on Tour with them), freak bike rodeo, zany competitions, lots of good beer, and more, this year they’ve got something new up their sleeve.

Yesterday a record ten bikes were listed on the BikePortland Stolen Bike Listings, bringing July’s total to 30.
In May, 80 bikes were listed and June would have topped that if the listings hadn’t broken after my server crash.
82nd Ave photos show other side of Portland
With an extensive bus and bike network, light rail, streetcars and even an aerial tram, Portland is frequently lauded for its transportation system (there’s even been a movie made about it).
But conditions outside the central city and close-in neighborhoods are much different. Roads in outer southeast Portland — especially busy SE 82nd Avenue — are in dire need of improvements and attention.
