Riding on the Steel Bridge: A tale of access and anger

View heading westbound onto
Steel Bridge (note the yellow sign).

Since moving into an office on SW 4th (between Stark and Oak) the Steel Bridge has become my preferred access in and out of downtown. Because I prefer the most direct and efficient route, I ride up on the bridge roadway (not on the sidewalk and not the lower-deck, multi-use path).

Unfortunately, riding in the roadway over the Steel Bridge tends to make some people driving cars angry. This morning I got into a shouting match with a man in a minivan who insisted I should not be there.

In Oregon, what we buy emits more greenhouse gases than what we do

In the shop with Joseph Ahearne

The shop of a local bike builder.
(Photo © J. Maus)

A new report issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality shows that there are more greenhouse gas emissions from products we buy than through driving, making electricity, or other activities. This “consumption-based” analysis of GHG emissions seems like yet another great example of why we should buy bikes made in the U.S.A. and why local and state politicians should work even harder to promote local bicycle manufacturing. (OK, even if I’m stretching to link this report to bicycling, I still think it’s interesting, so hopefully you’ll read on…)

The report, Consumption-Based Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory for Oregon – 2005 (PDF), is the first ever study to estimate the carbon emissions footprint from all products consumed by one state — ranging from food and beverages to clothing and appliances.
