Reward: $100
Description: The photo is something i found online. My bike has red sparkly handle grips, a leather selle italia saddle, clip-in pedals, a rack, and a frame that is more worn. It should be, since I’ve loved it for 7 1/2 years. Anyhow, the freakiest thing is that they picked my first generation Kryptonite Evolution.

Vancouver (WA) gets on-street bike parking — UPDATED
(Photo: Jennifer Campos/City of Vancouver)
Back in October, we brought you news of an on-street bike parking facility that was planned for installation on Main Street in Vancouver, Washington (just a short hop over the Columbia River, north of Portland).
I’m happy to report that it has been installed! Leah Jackson, owner of Angst Gallery — which is adjacent to the new bike parking — sent in this photo:
Bikestation coming to Hillsboro
If all goes according to plan, Hillsboro (about 20 miles west of Portland) will be the first city in the Portland region to have a one-stop bike storage, shower, and locker facility — also known as a Bikestation.
While at the National Bike Summit I ran into Andrea White-Kjoss, the President and CEO of Bikestation (a division of Mobis Transportation Alternatives), who confirmed the news. I have since heard from City of Hillsboro Planning Manager Colin Cooper, who gave me more details on the project.

Senator Merkley gets into the ACT — UPDATED
Today on Capitol Hill, Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) had some good news for Oregon advocates — he plans to introduce a bill in the Senate that will act as a companion to House Rep. Earl Blumenauer’s Active Community Transportation Act. The ACT Act (H.R. 4722) would create a competitive grant program to fund active transportation projects to the tune of $400 million a year for five years.
Merkley’s bill should give the potential legislation a much-needed boost in the Senate — but the bill still has a long path to roll down before becoming law. While the $2 billion program would be just 0.4% of the total estimated cost of the next transportation bill, that bill is running on empty budget-wise. In addition, the bill also suffers from a bit of a perception problem.

Stolen From: Basement of house on SE 11th and Lincoln
Neighborhood: SE, Ladd’s Addition
Owner: Dan Craig
OwnerEmail: oneselfconnect@gmail.com
Description: My bicycle was stored in the basement of the next door house. Both
houses are owned by the same landlord. The basement door was
sometimes locked, sometimes unlocked. Many renters and others had
access to the basement. I stored my bike in there around April 2008 when
we moved into 1104 SE Lincoln. We moved out of the apartment to 2100
SE Larch on March 5/6/7 of 2010. This is when I noticed that my bike was
gone. I was looking for it a few months ago and couldn’t find it, but I
assumed my wife had moved it to our storage unit, but it turns out that
she never touched it. The landlord knows nothing about the
disappearance. The last time I used the bike was around September of
2008. The bike was locked only to itself. The bike is a dark blue
“Specialized – Rock Hopper” mid 90’s model, 1995 perhaps. Purchased
new from Collins Cycle Shop in Eugene, OR. The seat is black, has red
highlight in the center from front to back and an indentation for comfort.
The seat has an anti-theft cable on it. The handle bars have mounted
grips on the ends, at 90 degree angles, bent at the tips, aluminum in
color. The handle grips have been replaced from the original grips when
the end bars were mounted. There is a water bottle cage on the front
angled bar of the frame. Lock was mounted on back frame bar. There is a
black rack mounted over the back tire. There is wiring and mounting gear
for a trip odometer (left side) and a light (right side) on the handle bars.
The frame bar has some scratches in the paint. The pedals have toe clips.
I believe that the frame is 19″ and is a men’s frame. I registered the bike
with University of Oregon Public Safety (DPS) in the late 90’s. There was a
sticker on the rear frame of the bike from the UO with a serialized number

on it. The bike has 21 gears, I believe. Additionally, my helmet was stolen
at the same time. The helmet was a late 2008 model, Specialized brand.

Industry icon Gary Fisher at the Summit: “I regret never coming before”
Bike industry titan Gary Fisher is hard to miss here at the Summit. A pioneer of mountain bikes in the 1980s, Fisher has gone on to be the namesake of a successful bike brand, a fashion icon, and one of only a few celebrities the bike world can call our own. He’s done a lot for biking over the years, but this is the first time he’s ever been to the National Bike Summit.
“I regret not coming before,” Fisher told me in the breakfast buffet line prior to our pep rally on Capitol Hill this morning. “I just never really made the effort.” So why this year? Fisher said his presence is the result of a classic case of arm-twisting. “Everybody kept telling me, ‘You’ve gotta’ go to this thing!'”
Whatever happened to the bike-partisan revolution?
With the lobby day in full swing here on Capitol Hill, bike advocates from around the country are asking their representatives in Congress to support a variety of pending bike-related legislation. Last night, while looking through some information on these bills put together for us by the League, I was shocked at how partisan all the bills have become.
Close readers of this site will recall several past occasions when Congress Earl Blumenauer spoke about “bike-partisan” efforts to push bike legislation through.
But this year, things have become anything but bike-partisan.
