Sunday’s ‘Cycle Swap’ will breathe new life to riverside warehouse

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

John “Coop” Cooper.

This Sunday, a warehouse under the east side of the Fremont Bridge that sits partially over the Willamette River will be buzzing with bikes, bike parts, and the people who love them. The PDX Cycle Swap is a new event that its organizers plan to hold every second Sunday of the month. With competitions, live music, vendors, food and more, it looks to be a great event that will bring the community together and hopefully become a Portland mainstay (and I’m not just saying that because he’s an advertiser!).

The Swap is being put together by 27 year-old Portland native John Cooper (his friends call him “Coop”). Coop says his vision for the event is a “Saturday Market feel but strictly geared toward bikes.” I asked Coop to share a bit more about himself and what we can expect on Sunday.

What is the Cycle Swap and how did it come about?

Checking in on the Broadway Bridge detour

Broadway Bridge detour observations-12

Despite detour plans recommending
against it, some people are riding
across the bridge in the
main travel lane.

I spent some time yesterday watching how people on bikes were handling the detour onto the Broadway Bridge. The bridge just (partially) re-opened to traffic last Friday and currently there are two lanes open as well as the south sidewalk. All bike traffic is supposed to only use the sidewalk, but I noticed yesterday that some people are taking the lane and there’s some confusion about how to get onto it.

The State of Oregon’s Parks and Recreation Department has announced eight new routes that will soon become official Oregon Scenic Bikeways. The routes criss-cross the state, from the Willamette Valley across the Cascade Range and into eastern Oregon.

The new routes — the first to be designated by the Scenic Bikeways Committee — will join the state’s sole existing official route, the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway. The routes were nominated by advocates and tourism officials throughout the state who answered a call from the Parks Department. State Parks’ Bicycle Recreation Coordinator Alex Phillips said she and the committee were “looking for the best bicycle rides in all of Oregon.”
