Stolen in Portland, OR 97217
Stolen:2010-08-16

Neighborhood: North Portland
Owner: Stephanie Neil
OwnerEmail: stephaniemneil@gmail.com
Reward: $100
Description: It’s a 54cm forest green Terry road bike. It has white decals with Terry on the main frame. It is a 21-speed and has Campy shifters. The bike has noticeable scrapes in the metal on the right brake handle and the right pedal from sliding on the pavement in an accident last summer. The seat also has torn leather on the right front and back of the seat from sliding on the ground. The paint is scratched, but the tape on the handle bars is new. It has a rear rain guard from Planet Bikes, as well as attachments for a rear and front light. This bike and I survived a near fatal crash, and it has a lot of sentimental value in addition to monetary value. I’m not sure of the model or year, and sadly I do not have the serial number or any photos of the bike. I can be reached at 503-705-0054.

Bikes bad for business? Not in Portland

Front page of today’s Portland Tribune.

Few anti-bike ideas are as stubborn as the age-old cries of “Bikes are bad for business!” In Portland, when our bikeway network was gaining steam in the 1990s, PBOT faced battle after battle when they tried to stripe bike lanes on streets adjacent to businesses. As recently as this past May, KATU-TV (our local ABC affiliate) promoted the fallacy with their infamous “Bike path to nowhere” story which was a fitting follow-up to their “Businesses fear city bike plan might drive people away” piece which aired after the 2030 Bike Plan passed last October.

But times are changing, at least in Portland.

Christensen’s blog)

At the end of last month, TriMet bus operator Dan Christensen published a shocking essay on his personal blog. The essay was titled “PORTLAND! KILL THIS BICYCLIST!” It went into detail about how Christensen was so frustrated with a man riding a bike in front of his bus on SE Hawthorne Blvd that he pleaded with someone to kill him and he himself wanted to “exercise the death option.” The post also included a photo of the man on the bike’s face that was taken by one of Christensen’s passengers.

Job: Veterinary Assistant (Portland Veterinary Cardiology)

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

Job Title: Veterinary Assistant
Company/Organization: Portland Veterinary Cardiology

Job Description: Portland Cardiology, a veterinary specialty practice providing state-of-the-art care for dogs and cats with heart disease, is seeking a full-time veterinary assistant.

We are a small team with big responsibilities. We enjoy what we do for our patients and their loved ones. We are nice to each other.

www.portlandcardio.com

We are looking for another to join our team, someone who is a kind and interested person. Experience in veterinary medicine is a big plus but not required for the right person. Skills in organization, communication, compassion and experience using a mac will all be helpful. A gentle hand with a scared cat will take you far. This is a field where emergencies are not the exception as much as an inevitability. Some days will go long. Things can be predictably unpredictable. Our days are interesting and varied and sometimes hard.

A great experience for anyone considering going into veterinary medicine, who is interested in cardiology, who would like to work with animals, or who just is ready to do work that matters. This is a full-time job, with a variable schedule, competitive pay, vacation, and benefits.

Our main location is easily reached by bicycle, just half a mile from the steel bridge in NW Portland. There is secure bike parking, showers, and the happiness of working with not just dogs but people who bike their dogs.

How to Apply: Please send a resume and a brief letter of intent to:
