Portland Vintage Velo will host another ride for vintage lightweight bikes.
We will meet @ the Community Cycling Center @ 11am for a trip to Rocky Butte, and a journey to Sellwood, via the Springwater Corridor. We will return via the Eastbank Esplanade, stopping at the bike-friendly Amnesia Brewing Company, on NE Williams.
Locks are suggested for this part of the ride. This will be a hillier ride than in the past, and the descent from Rocky Butte is rockin’ scary fun! Approximately 30 miles, total. Comfortable pace, we regroup frequently.

Since this worked so well last weekend, I thought I’d try it again.
Whatever bike adventures you’re undertaking this weekend, share the details in the comments below…
Do you plan on checking out the messenger racing madness at the West Side Invite at Alpenrose Velodrome?
Or maybe you’ll join us later today (3:00) at MLK Blvd. and NE Ainsworth for a meet/greet/work party with Brian, creator of the motorhome bike.
Come out and meet Brian, show your support, check out his camper-bike, and lend a hand to help us rebuild it.
Meet in the parking lot of Walgreens at NE Ainsworth and MLK Blvd.
The BTA’s eighth annual Bike Commute Challenge starts tomorrow, offering participants who work weekends an opportunity to get an early jump on the competition.
The statewide event pits companies against each other and they compete based on percentage of possible trips taken by bike, (not mileage). Each company registers online, and winners from are chosen from different categories based on their number of employees.
Last year, 6,000 people from 550 companies “competed” in the Challenge and this year, the BTA’s Events and Outreach Director Michelle Poyourow says she hopes for 7,000 people and 600 companies to participate.
Shift — the bike-fun loving group that bring us Breakfast on the Bridges, Bike Moves, PedalPalooza, and more — has been chosen to receive a “Light a Fire” award from Portland Monthly Magazine.
Editor-in-Chief Ted Katzaukas (who happens to be a daily bike commuter) says Shift won in the “Having Fun” category.
On the phone yesterday he explained why they were chosen,
“They were chosen because they’re an organization that encourages people to get out and enjoy the city on a bike…and most importantly because they encourage us to have fun and make the most of the city.”
