Vancouver’s Big Bike Weekend was a three-day whirlwind of cross-cultural, Cascadian bike-fun.

After much speculation, noted citizen activist and blogger Chris Smith has officially declared his run for a spot on Portland’s City Council.
He plans to make the news public at an event on Wednesday (9/26) morning at Skidmore Fountain (see below for event details).
Smith will run for the council seat currently occupied by Sam Adams. Adams hasn’t made his future plans known yet (although there is speculation he might give up his seat to run for Mayor). So far, Smith will run against Ethos Music founder Charles Lewis.
