Just came across a photo of the Bike Oasis that has been installed on NE Sandy Boulevard.
@ Milwaukie City Hall, 10722 SE Main Street, Milwaukie. / Event Website
Every neighborhood in Milwaukie has its secret places…
We’re going to explore most of them.
Come on the Milwaukie’s Hidden Routes ride and see the nooks,crannies, alleys, and cut-throughs of Milwaukie. We’re going to ride nearly every legal shortcut through Milwaukie’s neighborhoods. Thisis not a ride for the faint-hearted. Bring a mountain bike, or put wide knobbies on your road bike and bring a patch kit or a spare tube. We’re going to see brambles, grass, dirt, gravel, hills, thrills, and hopefully no spills. (90% 0f the ride is paved)
If you’ve never ridden in Milwaukie, here is the basic topography. Milwaukie is cut in half by Hwy 224 and the Union Pacific Railroad mainline. Biking around Milwaukie (and from Milwaukie to Portland) is further complicated by a number of hills. The main features in “Milwaukie Proper” are “The Plateau” and the 34th Avenue hill (between 224 and Lake Rd).
Especially troublesome is the NE corner of The Plateau, which has only a single road connecting the upper portion with the lower portion.
Well, there are some sneaky ways around that, and up, down and around many of the other areas of Milwaukie as well. Come look and see – I promise the shortcuts will not be boring!
Here’s the route map for the ride:
There are a couple of steep descents on this ride, a fair amount oflow hill climbing (at least 4 ascents up to 200′ elevation changeeach).
Start time is 6pm, Thursday, July 19th. Repeat performance on Wednesday, July 25th, also at 6pm, for those who can’t make the first ride or want to ride it again. 16 miles, approximately 2 hours.
Live far to the north in Portland? No excuse – Milwaukie City Hall sits right next to a Tri-Met transit center. Take buses 31, 32, 33,70, 75 or 99 to get there from downtown Portland or the NE side. 28, 29 and 152 will get you there from the Clackamas Town Center area.
Back in December, someone broke into Mike Kloeppel’s Woodstock neighborhood home and stole four of his “irreplaceable” high-end bikes.
A few months later Southeast Precinct police officers recovered two of them.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago.
Out of the blue Kloeppel got a call from someone in Wisconsin who said they just won a bid for a bike frame on eBay. The caller said he suspected the bike might be stolen (it had a low price and the headset and bottom bracket cups were still in the frame) so he Googled it, found Kloeppel’s stolen bike listing and phone number, and gave him a call.
From the McBrooklyn Blog in NYC (via Streetsblog) comes a photo of a new, “high-visibility bike lane” just installed in Brooklyn:
This Sunday, over 600 transportation engineering professionals from all over the region will come to Portland for the annual meeting of the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The conference kicks off with an address by U.S. Congressman Earl Blumenauer.
Organizers have infused the schedule — which goes through Wednesday and includes talks on everything from signal timing to traffic calming — with a bikey theme that begins with a keynote address by Bike Gallery owner Jay Graves.
Saturday morning, an estimated 9,000 cyclists will begin the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic (a.k.a. STP).
Some will do the entire 206 mile route in one day, but most riders will opt for two days. The result is a huge “Finish Line Festival” party that takes place at Holladay Park near the Lloyd Center.
The event transforms the park. Imagine thousands of tired and exuberant cyclists getting a hero’s welcome from friends and family, swarming the food vendors and beer garden, and checking out the expo area. It’s a lot of fun even if you don’t do the ride!
Ever wanted to pack up your bike, leave your worries behind, and take off for the open road on a multi-day riding adventure?
If so, now is the perfect time to give it a try. We live in a place with multitudes of bike-camping options. Whether it’s a jaunt to the coast, or an excursion to the rivers and foothills of the Cascades, you will not be disappointed.
And the best part is that no car is required. There are many possibilities If you’re not quite up to pedaling 100% of the way, you can hop on a bus or use the MAX for a nice head start.
