The Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) has nabbed a personal visit from U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. At the BTA’s request, LaHood is slated for an invite-only event that will take place in Portland on March 21st.

BTA Executive Director Rob Sadowsky says they initially asked LaHood’s staff if he’d be willing to accept an award of recognition in person at their annual Alice Awards gala slated for April 23rd. That date didn’t work for LaHood’s schedule, so his office suggested a different date and the BTA was happy to oblige.

At the event, Sadowsky says the topic will be crash reduction and distracted driving — two key pieces to the BTA’s current focus on the ‘Vision Zero’ strategy.

Portland-based Cycle Dog gets national attention on ‘Today Show’

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

One of Portland’s many bike-related businesses, Cycle Dog, continued their surge in success with airtime on the nationally televised Today Show this morning.

We first wrote about Cycle Dog back in July of 2009, and they’ve just gotten bigger and bigger ever since. Former Nike employee Lanette Fidrych started the company and she uses old bicycle inner-tubes for many of her products including collars for pets and even a new line of belts for humans. You might have seen her booth at a recent BikeCraft event. We’re so proud! Congrats Lanette.

What’s up with biking in Clackamas County? Here’s a roundup

[Publisher’s note: Our news intern, Patrick Croasdaile, happens to live in Clackamas County so he’s a bit closer to the action down there than I am. In the story below, he shares a roundup of Clackamas County bike news gleaned from a recent meeting of their biking and walking advisory committee.]

The Clackamas County Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (CCBPAC) held their second meeting of the year on Tuesday night. They covered a lot of ground. While the committee spent the majority of time reviewing the upcoming Clackamas Regional Center Pedestrian and Bicycle Connection Project, topics such as bicycle facility improvements on Highway 43, the Oregon City bridge shuttle, and the County’s application for an Oregon Scenic Bikeway all received considerable discussion. They even touched on Safe Routes to Schools.

First, we got an update on the proposed bike improvements to Hwy 43 we first told you about back in December.
