Join us for the ‘Bikestravaganza’ tour finale

Have you heard? Bikestravaganza is coming to Portland this Friday, September 10th! Bikestravaganza is the brainchild of former BikePortland Managing Editor Elly Blue and local filmmaker and Microcosm Publishing founder Joe Biel. They’ve been on a whirlwind trip, visiting 10 states in 30 days, and they’re bringing it all together in Portland on Friday night.

In the words of Elly Blue, they’re using movies and pictures to “tell the story of transportation activism in Portland,” and they’re “hearing from locals what their bicycle scene is like and what they’re doing about it.”

For their Portland event, Elly and Joe will share “the best and the worst, the most harrowing and most inspiring,” of what they’ve learned from places like Spokane, Reno, Cheyenne, Provo, Seattle and San Francisco.

On the final leg of their tour (they’re in Ashland tonight and Eugene tomorrow), Elly took a minute to reflect:

[via KOIN-TV]

Paul Lebelle and Adam Burkowske arrived in Portland on Saturday afternoon after biking over 3,000 miles on their “Bike Free” charity ride. The duo are on a mission to provide bicycles to children of people in the military. Unfortunately their plans are on hold because Paul’s Cannondale touring bike was stolen last night.

Here’s what Lebelle told KOIN:

“We were going to head out to one of the arts festivals here on Labor day, then decided we wanted to eat a bagel first so we made the bagel, popped back outside and the bike was gone.”

BTA Board Vice Chair Stephen Gomez handled the elections process. He says after the elections, the board could have 20 members, the largest currently allowed by the BTA by-laws. Gomez says the large board is neccessary to help the organization build on the foundation of 20 years of bike advocacy: “We have big ambitions and our members expect a lot from the BTA.”

Canzano strikes out in bike lane blame game

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

The Oregonian’s John Canzano is sad that Portland’s Triple A baseball team (the Beavers) played their final home game on Sunday; but instead of using his column to reminisce about innings past, he decided to take a few swings at bike lanes.

What do our bikeways have to do with baseball? Nothing. But that doesn’t stop Canzano from blaming the inability of Portland to hold onto a professional baseball team, at least in part, to “those silly bike lanes.”

Here’s an excerpt from his column (emphasis mine):
