Unsigned: Kruse Way to Barbur Blvd
[Welcome to the first of what we hope will be a series of posts highlighting useful bike routes around the Portland metro area. We’ll be looking at routes that don’t have clear directional signs but can still get people from A to B on a bicycle. If you’ve got a favorite secret route, drop us a line. — JM]
At a recent public forum I saw someone write a note on a list of desired bikeway improvements.
The note said the author wanted to see more “bike facilities leading to Barbur” so, in this first installment of Unsigned I’ll share a route that takes you from Lake Oswego to Barbur Boulevard.
The Monday Roundup
– Copenhagen has released its Bicycle Strategy for 2011-2025. The plan lays out how the city will reach its goal of becoming “the world’s best bicycle city” by the end of 2015.
– A mile-long section of trail in Clark County is receiving mixed reactions as officials and citizens weigh the cost of the trail against its future potential.
– British newspaper The Times has launched a high profile campaign for more bicycle infrastructure but it’s not well-received by everyone. One advocate thinks The Times is approaching the problem in the wrong way and their campaign only puts people on bikes in a “voluntary ghetto”.

‘Window pane bandit’ (or a copycat) hits another bike shop
The thief (thieves) made out
with a Surly LHT.
with a Surly LHT.
Southeast Portland bike shop Seven Corners Cycles was broken into this morning. The thieves (or thief) made out with one new bike (a large, black Surly Long Haul Trucker), seven Chrome messenger bags, and some lights and locks.
According to shop owner Corey Cartwright, they entered the store by carefully removing a glass panel next to the front door — using the same method as the “window pane bandit” that hit several bikes shops back in November.
Blumenauer: Transpo bill mess could be “springboard” for the movement
Blumenauer does not take attacks

As arguably the most bike and transit-sensitive member of the U.S. Congress, Earl Blumenauer has had a trying week.
Yesterday, the widely-maligned House transportation bill, a bill that eliminates the Safe Routes to School program and basically strips out all of the pro-bike provisions, moved through a marathon hearing and was passed out of committee this morning. Also this morning, Blumenauer saw the House Ways and Means committee debate — and then pass — a bill that severs the 30-year link between gas tax revenue and transit funding.
