In case you haven’t heard (or seen the banners), TriMet is throwing a party for cyclists next Friday (7/13).
The reason? Bribery, plain and simple.
Their big light rail construction project has torn up several parts of the I-205 bike path, so they figure to make nice they’ll offer a supported bike ride to show us the detour, give us a bunch of free food and entertainment and then, to top it all of, offer a ton of great prizes.

PORTLAND, OR — Take a moon-lit urban bicycle adventure through Portland
on The Night Ride, a benefit bicycle ride on Saturday, July 7th, 2007

Portland night life. Cyclists will stop at a special outdoor screening
of short bicycle movies from Filmed by Bike as they munch on theater
popcorn. The next stop is a disco party en route to the finish line
all-you-can-eat doughnut feast. This ride is a benefit for the Bicycle
Transportation Alliance.
