So good to be back the the Shed. Eva and I were up to old tricks with a wide-ranging chat about everything from riding bikes naked to Portland’s new WNBA team. Here’s a list of most of the stuff we touched on that I jotted down while I edited this episode:
- Eva’s trade show scheme
- World Naked Bike Ride (drama, 20th anniversary photo gallery)
- Correcting the record on trains and coal
- Eva explains her preferred bike route from north Portland to Colonel Summers park
- IBR SDEIS basic findings (Official project website)
- Eva’s time at Cycle Oregon Rally ride
- Park(ing) Day, why isn’t it year-round?
- CCC and their financial crisis
- New path alongside Benson High School via NE Glisan?
- New WNBA team in Portland!
- Eva is in love with Philadelphia, PA.
- PDX Trophy Cup and if a Brompton would survive it.

That preferred route question could be a fun icebreaker activity at a happy hour. Bring some maps in those plastic binder protectors and some dry erase markers. Have folks sketch out their preferred route.
Hi John. Thanks for the suggestion. I agree. When I used to host “Get Together” events (very similar to Bike Happy Hour, but rotating venue once a month) I’d have someone from PBOT on hand with their maps and we’d always ask folks to share their commute routes. And I’ve been wanting to do something to spice up BHH a bit so I’ll definitely keep this in mind.
