Nearly a year after we first noted the bike-oriented development taking place on N Williams Avenue, the trend is as strong as ever. Today we confirmed that, while the ink’s not quite dry on all the paperwork, Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB) plans to be the latest bike-friendly business to open up on the street (thanks to PDX Eater for the tip).
In this episode of Pedal People, we profile Gigi Lascurettes the maker of another Portland original – Helmuffs.
Helmuffs are wool ear muffs made from recycled sweaters that attach directly to your helmet straps. Gigi’s Helmuffs have been on display at BikeCraft and can also be purchased at Bikeasaurus (1337 SE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd) and Pedal Bike Tours (133 SW Second Ave).

On Saturday, I got a glimpse into another vibrant part of our local bike scene at the Portland Winter Classic Flatland Jam. The annual event was held inside a non-descript warehouse in inner Northeast, just north of E. Burnside. There was a two-sided vert ramp for the jumpers and a large open space where the trick riders could do their thing. Fans and friends stood around the edges of the action, erupting into cheers whenever someone landed a tough trick.
Here’s the news that caught our eye last week…
– From the misguided to the punitive, proposals for anti-bicycle legislation have come fast out of the gate in 2011, from the quickly shot down plan in Oregon to ban children from being carried by bicycle to an equally short lived New Jersey proposal to require bicycle license plates to an enraged demand for mandatory bike registration in New York City.
– Plenty of people bike right through the snowiest parts of winter. A story from Portland, Maine, and tips from the midwest show how it’s done.

Later this month, 39-year old Portland bike racer Sue Butler is headed to St. Wendel Germany where she’ll represent Team USA at the UCI Cyclocross World Championships. To help get her there, a fundraiser has been planned for Tuesday night at Hopworks Urban Brewery (2944 SE Powell).
Hopworks will donate $1 of every pint sold that night. All you’ve got to do is show up and tell the server that you’re there for the Sue Butler Fundraiser and they’ll do the rest. Butler herself will be at the event selling tickets for a huge raffle with over $4,000 in bike gear.
This is Butler’s third time on the Worlds team and she shares the honor with just four other American women. While cyclocross — and bike racing in general — is on an upswing in the U.S., all but a very small handful of athletes can make a living doing it. Butler addressed that issue on her blog a few days ago,
Moms, dads, and kid-lovers throughout the state have gotten fired up over the family biking legislation that’s made headlines this week. Many of them plan to join the monthly Kidical Mass ride which will be held this Saturday in Sellwood. Joining them will be Oregon House Representative Jules Bailey.
