Thanks to Twitter, I was able to connect with Maria Boustead from Chicago-based Po Campo bags while she was in Portland this past weekend.
Po Campo launched last summer with bags for women who want style and function that look good on and off the bike. The company has only been around for about a year but they’ve already gained a strong foothold in Chicago and several other cities where urban biking is on the rise. The bags are also sold in Japan, the Netherlands, Australia and the U.K..

Not sure why, but I’ve been getting a lot of interesting photos via reader emails lately. I shared a few last week, and who can forget the “don’t share the road” license plate? (Incidentally, the owner of that plate has gotten in touch with me wants to chat more about it).
So here goes, three more photos that give a glimpse into biking’s place in Portland.

Here’s the news that caught our eye this week:
– The San Francisco bike infrastructure injunction has been lifted! The city is preparing to roll out 35 bike lanes that it’s planned over the last four years, during which bicycling rates in the city have skyrocketed.
