Description: Covered in red spray paint that’s peeling off, with tons of stickers, and pink duct tape holding on a back light that’s broken. One of the stickers says, “THIS BIKE IS A PIPEBOMB”, but don’t worry, it’s not – that’s just a band silly! Also, the handlebars are the curly kind with foam that’s ripped up and falling off of them.

Yeah…it’s got some serious sentimental value, so I’d be willing to give a reward…uh, of, say…10 bucks?

Traffic Division Captain weighs in on bike lane case

bike lane on vancouver-1

Despite appearances, that bike lane

We’ve got more reaction and analysis on the infamous disappearing bike lane decision.

First, a quick review: Carmen Piekarski was right-hooked by a woman driving a car while biking through an intersection. Multnomah County Judge Pro Tem Michael Zusman ruled that the person driving was not guilty of “failure to yield to a bicyclist in a bike lane” because the paint striping of the bike lane was not present in the intersection where the collision occurred (therefore the victim was not “in the bike lane”).

Notice of Exclusion written to
Matt Cleinman for trespassing
in Waterfront Park.
– Larger version (90kb jpg) –

At 4:30 am this morning, a Portland Police officer issued a Portland man a notice of exclusion and warning for trespassing because he was riding his bicycle through Waterfront Park while the park was closed.

Matt Cleinman, a 25-year old resident of Northwest Portland was biking home from work when he came upon a Portland Police Officer who he says was “rousing homeless folks” under the Burnside Bridge. Cleinman, who told us he is very concerned about “criminalizing homelessness” says he then stopped his bike to ask the officer what was going on.
