Check out the Mini Bike Winter promo video
Dan Kaufman of CrankMyChain Cycle TV has put together this fun Mini Bike Winter promotional video. It includes footage from last night’s Zoobomb (can you say cold and gravelly?), deep thoughts from Zoobombers, and narration from a strange-sounding Reverend Phil.

Yesterday, Portland’s royal couple of cyclocross, Rhonda Mazza and Erik Tonkin raced in Belgium at the Cyclocross World Championships.
According to reports, Rhonda came in 11th and Erik battled to a very respectable 43rd place against the best cross racers in the world.
Photos of the duo battling the brutal course appeared this morning on mega-popular bike racing site, CyclingNews.com. Here’s Erik battling the sand, and one of Rhonda looking very focused.
Also making their presence known, was a group of supporters representing our very own Cross Crusade Series, who made the trip to cheer on the Americans.
Oregonian columnist sings praises of pedal power

Read the article.]
For the second time in a row, Oregonian columnist Renee Mitchell has devoted her column (which appears on the front page of the Metro section) to the power of the pedal.
Last Wednesday she wrote about how the community came together to recover Erin Greeson’s $2,000 stolen bike. Now, in this morning’s edition she again writes about the powerful potential of the bike community.
Today, in her column titled Putting pedal power to work on attitudes, she details the recent dialogue we’ve been having on this site about neighborhood safety and how bikes can be a part of community building in Portland neighborhoods.

Oregonian covers stolen bike story
It’s been forever since I last posted a stolen bike recovery story.
This time, the story comes from S. Renee Mitchell’s column in the Oregonian last week. She has the story of Erin Greeson’s high-end carbon-fiber racing bike getting nabbed from New Seasons in Sellwood:
Stolen Marin Eldridge
(SE – near the Bagdad)
Hey CLers~~
Need people to keep their eyes out for my bike, stolen from my basement in the past 24 hours. Please call the cops, or me at 503-757-0227 if you have seen it, or have any info that could lead to its recovery.
The bike is a larger, gray/smoke colored Marin Eldridge mountain bike and it has red bar ends, a sign on the handlebars, “FIRE THE LIAR!”, political stickers about 911 Truth and Impeachment, toe clips, dual purpose tires with knobs on the corners, LX componentry.
Someone stole a blinking rear light off the bike in my basement last Monday, and I left a note chastising whoever did that petty bullshit move. I took that down and replaced with a sign asking people to make sure the door out of the basement is always shut firmly. That door was open/ajar 3 times yesterday, but the bike was still there. It was gone this morning by 11:30am.
I hope to find the douchebag that thinks s/he has any right to my property, and I will see that they face some serious reprimand.
If anyone knows of places where bike thieves fence or dismantle bikes, please call.
Thanks,
S
