You might have noticed a bright new bike-inspired piece of public art on N. Williams Avenue just north of Fremont. The large panel is part of a multi-piece wall of murals that have gone up around the Boise-Eliot Outdoor Market.
The artist, former planner (design review) for the City of Portland Chris Beanes, emailed me the other day to tell me about the painting. I asked him to share his inspiration and a bit more background.
Portland filmmaker Chad Berkley is making a film about the Community Cycling Center’s awesome annual event, the Holiday Bike Drive. Remember Your First Bike? is slated for completion next spring but Berkley has already put together a trailer for the film and has just launched a Kickstarter page to help raise some funds to finish it up.
In the film, Berkley takes a behind the scenes look at how the magical 500 bike giveaway happens and interviews CCC volunteers and staffers for their perspectives. Berkley also includes interviews with notable Portlanders including Mayor Sam Adams and others.

“In order to help educate members on transportation policy issues,” the Bicycle Transportation Alliance has published responses to a questionnaire given to candidates for public office in the upcoming elections. The BTA’s Legislative Committee put the survey together and asked four questions about “critical” bike-related issues.
The questions went out to candidates for every major office in the upcoming elections including races for Governor, the U.S. Senate and House, the Oregon Senate and House, County Commissioner races throughout the state, and the race for Metro President. Of the 80 candidates that were contacted, 42 responded and 38 did not.
Here are the four questions they were asked:
After celebrating a successful first year in business back in April, B-Line Sustainable Urban Delivery continues to help Portland businesses move their goods without burning fossil fuels.
According to an announcement made yesterday, B-Line has now teamed up with Eco Dry Cleaner to handle the majority of their downtown deliveries and customer pick-ups. The partnership means that Eco Dry Cleaner has replaced several of their delivery trucks with B-Lines cargo trikes (made by local builder Bill Stites) which can carry loads of up to 600 pounds.

Description: When i had my bike last, it had white bar tape and a black Vetta seat on it. The cable on the top tube was white The wheels were quick release 700cc with continental tires on them. The back tire was in poor condition and fraying around the valve so much that the tube was visible. I had black plastic toe clips on the pedals. The pedals were black with reflective orange plastic on the edges. The stem was painted black. On the top tube decal, the second ‘n’ in ‘Cannondale’ was scrached off on one side. I don’t recall all of the components that were on my bike, but i know some were Shimano.

The Oregon Handmade Bicycle Show is this weekend. The event is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in what I think is one of Oregon’s most exciting and inspiring industries — bicycle building.
35 exhibitors from Oregon and beyond will bring their goods to Sandbox Studio (420 NE 9th Ave) for a show you will not want to miss.
Check the list of exhibitors:
The streets were busy with kids and parents on bikes and on foot this morning as over 60 local schools took part in International Walk and Bike to School Day. From Sellwood to St. Johns, hundreds of people enjoyed a sunny, crisp morning to exercise their transportation options and get to school under their own power.
Here are photos and videos of just some of the action…
