A man who allowed his pickup truck to collide with a nine-year-old girl who was riding her bike in North Portland last Saturday (7/27) has been arrested by the Portland Police Bureau for felony hit-and-run. The collision occurred at 4:24 pm at the intersection of North Bryant and Borthwick in the Piedmont neighborhood.

28-year-old Jerod Brasky was arrested at his home just 12 blocks away from the collision on Sunday after a witness turned his license plate number into authorities.

According to the PPB, the girl (who KPTV has identified as Jayauna Nelson) was riding her bike in the street when Brasky hit her with his 1999 Dodge pickup. “A witness saw Brasky pulling the girls bike out from under the truck then drive away,” a PPB spokesman told BikePortland. She received many scrapes, bruises and road rash, but the PPB says she had no “serious injuries.” Nelson was taken to the hospital but has since been released.

‘Cirque du Cycling’ returns to Mississippi Ave

Cirque du Cycling Race-6

The Cirque du Cycling is much more than
just a bike race (but that part is pretty awesome).
(Photos © J. Maus/BikePortland)

After a one-year hiatus, one of our favorite events, the Cirque du Cycling, is set for a triumphant return. The Cirque du Cycling is an awesome mix of family-friendly street festival and top-notch bicycle race. This year, organizers have planned kids activities, a cargo bike race, and the main event: a criterium that blasts through the streets of North Mississippi Avenue just a few feet from roaring spectators.

We’re excited to see this event return after it ran into funding and management troubles in 2012.

The fun will start at 4:00 on Friday, August 9th at the “Family Fun Zone” at the Q Center (Mason & Mississippi). There will be games, music, and crafts for the kids, along with a bike decorating station. At 5:00, there will be a three-mile family bike ride up to Peninsula Park.

Then the racing starts.
