Former Portland mayor to lead public art bike ride

The BTA and Bud Clark have re-imagined
the famous 1978 poster.

Former Mayor Bud Clark is no stranger to Portland public art or bicycling. In fact he has reached iconic status for both. Clark, who was our mayor from 1985-1992, is known for his promotion and participation in Bike to Work Day and his appearance on the “Expose Yourself to Art” poster made him a household name in the 1970s. (Disclaimer: I had a copy of the poster on my bedroom wall through high school and college without even knowing anything about Clark or Portland).

Now Clark is set to lead the Expose Yourself to Art Ride as part of Pedalpalooza.

Clark posed for the famous poster in 1978 and he has remade it for the BTA with a more bicycle-centric theme. Clark, who owns the Goose Hollow Inn bar and restaurant in southwest Portland, has remained a part of the community since retiring from public office. He has ridden in the annual, invite-only “Policymakers Ride” a few times and he pops up at bike-related and other events throughout the year.

Editorial: So much carnage on our streets, yet so little response

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

Mike Cooley is still in the hospital with serious
injuries after a man hit him
from behind while he rode on N. Interstate
Ave on Saturday night.

Road carnage in America has reached epidemic proportions. Consider the barrage of news I’ve encountered in the past 24 hours…

— The Portland Police released photos and offered a reward to try and find a man who drove his large pickup truck into 59 Mike Cooley as he rode home from work up N Interstate Avenue on Saturday night. Cooley has very serious injuries and remains hospitalized while the police search for the suspect.

— A major study from the Harvard School of Public Health has found a link between autism and air pollution from motor vehicles. As in, the unborn children of pregnant women that breath tailpipe emissions are impacted by our transportation policies that put the auto access and capacity above everything else. Do we really care more about auto traffic “flow” than the health of our babies?

Rapha Names Hillary Benjamin as Head of North America – Marketing & Sales

Portland, Oregon, June 17, 2013 -­-Rapha today announces the hiring of Hillary Benjamin as Head of North America – Marketing & Sales for the company’s Portland, Oregon-­-based North American office. She takes the position previously held by Slate Olson, who moves to the London office in a new role as Chief Marketing Officer. Hillary will oversee the North American office, eight Portland-­-based staff and one in New York City, as well as the San Francisco Cycle Club and the soon-­-to-­-open New York City Cycle Club. She begins July 1, 2013.
“Rapha has been growing at a brisk pace since we set our North American roots in Portland in 2008, “ says Slate Olson. “Back then it was just me and a few part-­-time freelancers in a 600-­-square-­-foot space above a garden store. Five years later we have a beautiful office and event space in Northwest Portland, a thriving Cycle Club business and US distribution from Portland with our partners at OIA Global,” he says. “We have even greater growth expectations for our North American business and recognize that we need a strong, experienced business leader who can put 100% focus on this market as I transition to a global role based in London. Bringing Hillary in to drive our business and further define the brand is an exciting step to ensure our future. Her experience in the luxury space, online marketing, retail and her knowledge and passion for cycling gives us a lot of confidence.”

Following an overwhelming vote of support from their membership, the City Club of Portland is wasting no time in getting to work on implementing the recommendations in their report on bicycling in Portland.

On June 13th, City Club members voted 254 to 31 in favor of the report which recommended that local elected leaders and policy makers make a much stronger commitment to cycling because it is, “an affordable and efficient means of transportation that is essential to continued growth in the local economy and overall quality of life for Portland residents.” The report recommended a stronger focus on bicycling in local and regional transportation plans, more physically separated bicycle infrastructure, more bicycle counters to help with data collection, more funding set-asides for bicycle infrastructure, a 4% excise tax on new bicycles, and more. (See all the recommendations here.)
