In a few hours, Juli, the girls and I will pack into the mini-van and drive up to Vancouver BC for a weekend packed with bike events.
Starting tomorrow night, our sister bike culture city to the north launches three days of creative, frenzied, two-wheeled fun (anchored by a legendary bike party known as VeloMutation).

Local transportation experts made their mark at a recent awards event hosted by the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals. The APBP is a non-profit founded in 1995 that, “promotes excellence in the emerging professional discipline of pedestrian and bicycle transportation.”
The event was held in conjunction with the Walk/Bike California 2007 conference on the campus of UC Davis in Davis, California.
Of the five awards given out this year, three of the winners were names that will be familiar to regular BikePortland readers. They included:

Project Homeless Connect is part of an effort by the City of Portland to end homelessness. It’s mission is to, “provide an opportunity for the community to aid homeless people in receiving much needed services and support and for better understanding of this population’s needs.”
An important part of those “much needed services” is transportation. For many homeless folks, (like Bill and Allen), the bicycle is a perfect transportation solution.
Local filmmaker takes bike porn on the road
The Reverend Phil Sano is at it again, and surprise, it involves nakedness and bicycles; only this time, he’s taken it one step further.
You might be familiar with the term “bike porn” — it’s become a sort of slang for photos of gorgeous bikes — but trust me, this is something completely different.
After his Pornography of the Bicycle screened at the Clinton Street Theater in front of a shocked (yet appreciative) standing-room-only crowd during last Summer’s Pedalpalooza, he has decided to take his beguiling combination of sex and bikes on road.
Officials respond to bike parking shortage at Lewis & Clark

The “problem” of not enough bike parking has reared its head at yet another place in Portland: Lewis & Clark College.
With growing bike use, a new school year, and the Bike Commute Challenge going full steam (L & C is a perennial front-runner in the 500+ employees category), bike parking at the small college nestled in Portland’s Southwest Hills is at a premium.
As a result, many students have taken to parking bikes anywhere they can; including inside the Templeton Campus Center. That’s a big no-no, according to the school’s Director of Transportation and Parking, Mark Morgan.
Last week he sent out an email to graduate students warning that bikes not locked to available racks would be subject to impound. I was forwarded a copy of that email and have pasted it below:

As part of a new bike safety campaign, a coalition of advocates in Washington County is planning a memorial ride for Timothy O’Donnell this weekend.
O’Donnell was struck and killed by a car on a rural Washington County road last June.
On Saturday (9/22), the Portland Velo riding club (of which O’Donnell was a member) will retrace the route that O’Donnell took before he was hit. “Complete Tim’s Ride” will meet at 9am at Longbottom Coffee off Evergreen Parkway in Hillsboro (4893 NW 235th Ave).
The ride is part of an ongoing bike safety campaign called, “And we bike”. The campaign is backed by a coalition of advocacy groups and sponsors and it kicked off yesterday with a series of awareness actions throughout Washington County.
