Since there’s so much bike stuff going on this weekend, how about sharing your adventures?
I’ll start us off…
KATU has the story of a man who was attacked on Wednesday night while riding on the Springwater Corridor Trail in Clackamas County.
“Dave Miller said the suspects (about 10 of them) stepped out of the darkness, robbing and punching him and even stomping on his face…they also stole his Specialized mountain bike…”
In the story, Miller said he thinks security on the trail should be improved.
KATU also interviewed Bike Gallery employee Dennis Wyman. In their video report he said, “I know that if somebody’s gonna’ try to take my bike from me, they’re gonna hurt as much as I get hurt.”

With the hope of enticing first-timers into the local racing scene, the folks behind the Monday Night Bike Race Series are hosting another “Ladies’ Night” this Monday (8/27).
Both coaches and experienced racers will be on hand to mentor, answer questions, and provide tips. All that is required is a road bike, helmet and some curiosity to see how big groups of spandex-clad cyclists manage to ride in a pack.
As a popular route for cyclists coming from the Clinton Street bikeway to the riverfront and downtown, the stretch of SE Clinton, just west of SE 11th is currently an unsafe gap in our bikeway network.
After last Friday’s road rage incident I decided to take a closer look at the current situation and what (if any) bike safety improvements might be in store for the future.
According to PDOT’s Jeff Smith, this portion of SE Clinton is not a designated bikeway on the City’s current Bicycle Master Plan (last updated in 1996). Even so, the road has been marked with bike boulevard/wayfinding dots.
