Description: I recovered a bike today, if you can describe this bike to me I will give it back to you.
If you want to join the state’s leading active transportation advocates, policymakers, and citizen activists at the 2nd annual Oregon Active Transportation Summit, mark your calendar for April 16-17th. Cycle Oregon (yes, they put on that big, great ride, but they also do a lot of behind-the-scenes, statewide bike advocacy work) announced information about the upcoming event today.
The event began as the Oregon Bicycle Tourism Summit and was first held in Eugene back in 2006. Last year, it changed gears with an expanded mission to coalesce forces with walking and public transit advocates in an effort to garner more resources and have a more powerful collective voice.
Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) — a school that has grabbed our attention several times in the past for their encouragement of bicycling among faculty and staff — has a new building in the works and they say it, “will set a new standard for the quality of bicycle facilities.”
Those are lofty words, so we got a closer look at the plans from Campus Planning and Development Director Brian Newman.
Just noticed this announcement from local non-profit Upstream Public Health. I’ll put something on the front page when I get more details…
Save the date! February 6th, from 7pm-8:30pm at Portland State University, we’re co-sponsoring Local Motion: Portland Mayoral Candidates Discuss Active Transportation with Willamette Pedestrian Coalition, OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon, The Bicycle Transportation Alliance, 1000 Friends of Oregon, Coalition for a Livable Future, and the PSU Planning and Environmental Clubs. More details to come!
