Oregon’s State Scenic Bikeway program has really taken off in recent years. Routes have sprung up all over the state and they’re spurring economic development and providing people with great bike adventures. But so far, none of them are very close to Portland.

Now comes word from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department that there’s a proposal on the table to designate a new scenic bikeway that would be relatively close to Portland and would begin just south of Hillsboro.

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

The Portland Police Bureau have issued a citation to the person who was driving their car and failed to stop in time to avoid a man who was stopped in front of them on his bicycle. The man on the bike was pulling his son behind him in a child trailer and it was crumpled under the car’s bumper.

The collision happened on the evening of November 29th while a man on a bike was on SE 60th waiting at the red light on SE Division. Thankfully, the low-speed collision resulted in only minor cuts and bruises to both the man and his four year-old son. Even so, it has sparked a lively discussion about the safety of biking with children.

The Monday Roundup

Protected bike lanes are so hot right now.

Hey folks, I’m down in California on a holiday road trip, visiting family from Arcata to Cypress (in northern Orange County). Hope all is well up in Portland. I hear you’re having a winter storm? Well, it’s not exactly warm and sunny down here if it makes you feel any better. If you need help getting caught up on cool and noteworthy links that popped up in the last week, check out the list below…

— Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel spoke at a press conference for the opening of new protected bike lanes on Dearborn Street.
