On Tuesday I joined City Commissioner Randy Leonard on his ride home from work.
I requested the meeting/interview/ride because I’ve heard he’s a dedicated bike commuter, and more importantly, because one of the lessons I learned during the Bike Master Plan funding fiasco is that if we really want bikes to get to the next level in this town, we’ve got to go beyond the friendly confines of Commissioner Adams’ office.
Not that Leonard’s office isn’t friendly. Far from it. I instantly felt at ease with him and his staff, including his bike commuting office manager Jane Prideaux.

I’m considering a new, weekly feature that will be an audio podcast of the week’s top stories.
You might have heard me do this live on the KBOO Bike Show last week.
A new northbound bike lane has been installed on SE 4th Ave. between the entrance to the Springwater Corridor Trail and SE Caruthers Street (see map below).
If you ride in this area please be advised that due to a construction project, there is an ongoing enhanced police presence in this area (which I warned you about months ago but I still get calls and emails about).

Local recumbent enthusiast and general bike nut John Climaldi was looking through VeloVision Magazine one day when he came across something that was “so cool” he just had to know more. The product was the Extrawheel, a Poland-made bicycle trailer that wasn’t available in the U.S. …until now.
Despite the challenging language barrier, Climaldi tells me he’s now the official U.S. distributor of Extrawheel trailers. His first shipment is piled high in a storage facility in southeast Portland and he’s busy setting up an online storefront and signing up dealers.
Symbolic of the pent-up demand for more mountain biking in Portland, nearly 40 people crammed into the Lovejoy Room inside City Hall last night for the most crowded Portland Bicycle Advisory Committee (PBAC) meeting I’ve ever attended.
The agenda for the night was cleared to make room for a mini-summit on mountain biking (or the lack thereof) in Portland; which has long been a neglected part of our cycling story.
The committee, which advises City Council on all matters related to bicycling, heard from both advocates and citizen cyclists who came to share their frustrations over a lack of off-road riding opportunities in and around Portland and their willingness to help change that reality.
