On Tuesday, U.S. Congressman Earl Blumenauer led a roundtable discussion about bicycles at Portland’s City Hall.
His goal for the event was to get a “reality check” on the latest bike happenings in Portland by listening to short presentations from local bike experts and insiders.

Local consulting firm Alta Planning and Design has landed a contract to develop a bicycle master plan for Dubai of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Alta — who is currently working with PDOT on an update to Portland’s bike master plan — has been hired for the four-month project.
According to Alta principal (and former PDOT bike coordinator) Mia Birk, the Sheik of Dubai is very interested in promoting health and fitness among his people. Dubai, like many highly prosperous Arab nations, is facing rising rates of heart disease and obesity.

PORTLAND, OR — Take a moon-lit urban bicycle adventure through Portland
on The Night Ride, a benefit bicycle ride on Saturday, July 7th, 2007
starting at 8:00 pm from the train station. The mostly flat, 15-mile
street course takes riders past fire jugglers and hootin’ and hollerin’
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.
Have a great Fourth of July
Hope you enjoy your Independence today. On my ride into the office this morning the streets were wonderfully quiet and empty.
I’ve got an interview with Momentum Magazine in a few minutes, but I’ll be cutting out after that to spend the day with family and friends.
I’ll leave you with a few shots I snapped at the Bike Master Plan Ride last night (report coming tomorrow).

In a few minutes I’m riding over to City Hall for a roundtable discussion about Portland’s bike scene with U.S. Congressman Earl Blumenauer.
He wants to know the latest and greatest on all the two-wheeled happenings.
One of his staffers has asked me to talk about,
“the intersection of bike policy, culture, business, safety, programs, etc. in Portland.”
Wow. That’s a tall order. Hopefully I say something that makes sense.
I’m curious. If you were in my position, what would you talk about (I realize I should have asked this question sooner)?
Bike Master Plan Ride
@ Terry Schrunk Plaza (SW 3rd between Madison & Jefferson )
There are multiple goals for these rides :
1) Education. To have Portlanders understand the standard tools the City uses to create bikeways; how we use them and why we use them. Most importantly, people need to experience them and get a feel for how they work and begin to think about what might work better.
