BikePortland and Oregon Cycling magazine
It feels awkward to write about myself, but several folks have written in wondering why I haven’t mentioned the story about BikePortland in the June issue of Oregon Cycling Magazine.
Writer Ellee Thalheimer — who also teaches yoga for cyclists at River City Bicycles — interviewed me downtown a few weeks ago and wrote a nice story about the site. She even snapped a few photos in my front yard.
Then for some reason editor Karl Benedek decided to put it on the cover.

A Zoobomb slideshow
I found a little trick that lets me embed Flickr slideshows into my posts. My goal is to figure out how to use Flash to create slideshows with audio (if you know how to do that please get in touch).
For now, let me know what you think of this slideshow from Sunday’s Zoobomb (place cursor near top for controls, near bottom for thumbnails):

Portlanders grab two titles at Messenger Championships
Portland messengers fared well at the North American Cycle Courier Championships (NACCC) this past weekend in San Francisco.
Local track racer and messenger Zak Kovalicik took home the coveted “Fixie King” crown for having the fasted fixed gear finish in the main race (and he did it on a locally made Ira Ryan track bike).
According to reader Bjorn Warloe, who attended the event, it was Kovalicik’s second time as fastest fixie rider.
Vulnerable roadway user bill takes another step forward
House Bill 3314 — which would create a new offense for anyone who inflicts serious injury or death upon a “vulnerable user” of a public way — passed the Senate Judiciary Committee today and is now one final vote away from becoming Oregon law.
The bill passed the House two weeks ago and after its recommendation from Committee today, it will move onto a full Senate vote. BTA lobbyist Scott Bricker and Portland bike lawyer Ray Thomas have worked hard to get the bill to this point.
Bike lawyer profiled in Portland Monthly magazine
Scan of Portland Monthly article
Portland’s “original” bike lawyer Ray Thomas has a two-page spread in the June issue of post local lifestyle magazine, Portland Monthly.
Thomas is one of four lawyers singled out (out of 325 mentioned) in the “Top Lawyers” segment. The piece features an interview and a full-page photo that shows Thomas standing with a bicycle from the evidence room that is part of a pending fatal crash case.
