Happy Velotine’s Day: A bike love guide

It’s a special day on Portland’s bikeways, a day when our love of bikes doesn’t seem out of place…it’s Velotine’s Day!

Here are a few ways to get into the mood:

This evening, on the east side of the Hawthorne Bridge, all two-wheeled commuters are invited to Mocktails on the Bridge. The annual event has been put together by those bike-loving folks at Shift. In addition to fun and fruity drinks to share, they’ve even made some crafty Velotines greetings to brighten your day.

A benefit party for Bike Farm

And a bit later tonight, once your bikey-buzz is going strong, you should swing by the Valentine’s Day Formal. This event is a benefit for the upstart non-profit bike co-op, The Bike Farm and the party plans include a Polaroid photo booth, drinks, dancing, and raffle. Dress to impress!

As if all that wasn’t enough to warm your watter bottle, how about a little bike porn?

RevPhil is at it again with the second edition of his successful Bike Porn Tour: “BikeXPloitation”. He announced the call for entries this morning on his Bike Porn Blog. All you sexy cyclists have until April 15th to enter your movies for the 2008 program.
