Swobo has “no intention” to use ‘Sprout’ model name says company rep
“Rest easy, FCBC has no intention to start a brand to compete with your efforts nor are we committed to using “Sprout” as a model name.”
— Peter Discoe, Fort Collins Bicycle Company
A representative of Fort Collins Bicycle Company has responded to our story yesterday about its Swobo brand wanting to use the “Sprout” name for a future line of kids bikes. For background, Sprout Cycles has been used by Portland-based bike builder Edwin Brown since 2005.
In a comment left on our story, Peter Discoe with FCBC says they have “no intention” to start a brand name that competes with Brown’s business. Read Discoe’s full comment below (emphasis mine):
League starts petition to stave off Senate sidepath stipulation
Mandatory sidepath laws — which state that bikes must use a sidepath/bikeway when one is available — are the bane of bicycling advocates. They’re seen as a clear sign of disrespect and inequality on our roads. The fact that Oregon still has one was called out by the League of American Bicyclists in 2008 as one of the main reasons for our disappointed fourth place bike-friendly state ranking.
Now the League is faced with the mother of all mandatory sidepath laws — the one that currently exists in MAP-21, the new transportation reauthorization bill that has already passed out of the Senate. As we pointed out earlier this week, the bill includes this unsavory passage:

‘Bicycle swarm’ planned to protect Occupy encampment from police
With yesterday’s announcement by Mayor Sam Adams and Police Chief Mike Reese that they will enforce park camping laws beginning 12:01 this Sunday, a showdown between the police and Occupy Portland might be inevitable.
To help create a buffer zone between the encampment and any police action, a decision was made at the General Assembly last night to create a “swarm” of people on bikes and foot around Chapman and Lownsdale Squares. Here’s more from activist and videographer Dan Kaufman:
