Alan Koch; Super-retiree

Just wanted to make sure everyone reads this article by Margie Boule in Sunday’s Oregonian. It’s about a retiree named Alan Koch. For his 65th birthday he got a new Bianchi and is in the process of riding his bike on every street in Portland. That is awesome. It reminds me of one of Eleni’s … Read more

She also makes embroidered pillowcases (Juli got me a set for our 5th anniversary!), knit sweaters and inner tube bags all with bikes on them. The name of her company … Read more

ODOT changes paint striping policy

I know I’ve been harsh on ODOT in the past, but now I applaud them. A few weeks ago I posted something about a couple riding a tandem that had slipped on wet paint laid down by ODOT road crews. The paint had just been applied and no signs or cones were placed to warn … Read more

South Waterfront plans ignore cyclists

PDOT and Portland Streetcar, Inc. are embarking on a major project in the South Waterfront district. This new area will be like another Pearl District; complete with a streetcar line, tons of retail shops, and high-density, super expensive condos. Sounds great right?

“Everybody Bike!” T-shirts are here!

Just picked them up yesterday. They look super cool. The print came out very clean and the “sienna brown” ink looks great with the natural organic cotton fabric. I’m glad I went with American Apparel shirts because they’re amazingly comfy and quite nice feeling. Find out more on my Stuff page. Remember, $1 from each … Read more

It’s cold. You need gloves.

It was in the low 30s this morning. Ouch. Without a good pair of gloves for your morning commute, it makes it awfully easy to climb into the car. Resist the tempation! Embrace the cold, morning air! Ayleen over at the ORBike Blog is collecting comments and recommendations about which gloves work for both cold … Read more
