Sellwood Bridge fee proposal headed for showdown Wednesday

“Put that on the ballot, that’s really the best way… People need to be able to determine what should be done with their pocketbooks.”
— Sarah Seale, Director of Americans for Prosperity, Clackamas County

A proposal in Clackamas County for a $5 motor vehicle registration fee to raise $20 million to help pay for the replacement of the Sellwood Bridge will be voted on by the County Board of Commissioners this week — but not before they hear from the public one more time.

When the proposal got its first hearing in front of the Commission on November 25th, anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity turned out 150 protestors and their opposition made headlines across the region.

BikeCraft is over (sniff, sniff).

I realize I’m slightly biased, but I think our sixth annual BikeCraft went extremely well. We had a steady flow of pleasant crowds all weekend, new vendors that raised eyebrows, lots of sales, and most importantly everyone seemed to have a great time (even if it they did so while wearing gloves, scarves, jackets and hats — it was cold!).

Before I get into some vendor and product highlights, I want to thank everyone that helped us make it possible:

BikePortland sales and business manager Jonathan “JR” Reed (once again) did a stellar job putting it all together. (Seriously, I wasn’t really much help at all.)

Portland-based manufacturer Chris King Precision Components now makes an espresso tamper. If the release of a precision coffee component by a bike company seems strange to you, you are probably not familiar with Chris King — the man or the company.

Chris King has always been a gourmet kind of guy. His passion for fine food and drink mirrors the passion for high-quality components that has made his name famous to a global legion of bike enthusiasts. King combines these loves in his annual Gourmet Century. Known as “The most civilized bike ride in the country,” Chris King has personally catered this event for over a decade.

Riders on Cycle Wild’s weekend bike camping trip out to Champoeg State Park over the weekend got a special treat as they rolled out via the Springwater Corridor Trail…

Here’s the news that caught our eye this week:

– In the UK, heavy trucks are being equipped with sensors that are designed to detect people walking and bicycling in blind spots.

– The city of San Jose, California, is taking its arcane bicycle registration law off the books. The registration program had become obsolete and did not pay for itself, officials said.

Jess and Kronda scored new
belts from Cycle Dog.

Day one of BikeCraft is in the books. Below are the rest of the photos from the show floor. If you missed the action today — or if you didn’t get to see everything and need to come back — we’ll be open tomorrow (Sunday, 12/5) from 10:00 to 6:00 at 15 NE Hancock. You can see the second batch of photos in the gallery or in the slideshow below…

One of the many treats at Day One of BikeCraft was a performance by the BTA Carolers. Our friends from the Bicycle Transportation Alliance (with help from Steph Routh of the Willamette Pedestrian Coalition), warmed up the venue with a performance of holiday songs. I snapped a quick video of their very fun rendition of “O Come all ye Faithful.” Listen to the lyrics to see how they added a bit of bikey flair…

Stay tuned for more photos and coverage from BikeCraft. We’re very excited for another day of vendors, music, treats, and holiday cheer. Join us tomorrow (Sunday) from 10:00 – 6:00 at 15 NE Hancock (one block north of Broadway/Williams). Stay tuned for full photo gallery from today and be sure to check our Twitter updates for snapshots from the vendor action today (and more tomorrow!).
