It’s been almost ten months since I first mentioned bakfiets on this site. Back in August, I spotted one on NE Broadway and I was blown away by the simple, elegant utility of it.

That story sparked a lot of interest and it was clear Portland was ready for the Dutch bike revolution. Now I’m happy to report that today is the first day of business for Portland’s very own Dutch city bike and bakfiets dealer; Clever Cycles.

The shop is located just south of Hawthorne Blvd on SE 9th and I stopped in today to check things out.

Oregon state capitol in Salem.

Before a bill becomes law, it must first pass through both House and Senate committees. If a bill doesn’t move out of committee (and onto a floor vote) it is dead.

Today was the final day for bills to pass out of committee so I figured it’d be a good time to look at where things stand. I’ve separated them into three categories: Passed, Still have a chance, and Officially dead.

Passed

Stolen LeMond Nevada City

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

2004 LeMond Nevada City from Bike Gallery (Bike Gallery stickers on it) with cage, light, cyclometer. I’m short so it’s a smaller bike. Blue, blue wrapped handles, minor dings and paint chips, left side of the saddle is scuffed from when I was learning to ride clipless pedals. Look pedals. Small black wedge bag under saddle. Stolen from my garage along with lots of other stuff 🙁 Picture is not actual bike – just one that looks like it.
