Yesterday, with notable transportation officials from around the region in attendance, TriMet officially cut the ribbon on their new ‘Bike & Ride’ facility at the Sunset Transit Center in Beaverton. With secure parking for 74 bikes, TriMet hopes the new service will make it easier for people to make the bike-transit connection.

Five years ago today I started an exciting new project. I had published about 150 posts in about four months on The Oregonian’s website, but I was itching to do more. I had all sorts of crazy notions about what a blog that focused on Portland’s bike scene could become and I wanted to do it on my own — without any editors or outdated blog software holding me back.
So, I grabbed a free WordPress theme, bought the BikePortland.org domain name, added the “To inform and inspire” motto, and off I went. I had no idea what I was getting into, but I knew I loved it.
To say there’s momentum in our region for electric vehicles would be a major understatement. Last week, the Portland City Council voted to accept the recommendations in Electric Vehicles: The Portland Way, a report (PDF) on EVs that lays out a strategy for integrating more battery-powered cars into our city.

After pedaling over 3,700 miles in the past two months, a group of 30 young volunteers will trade their bikes for hammers in Portland today. The group is part of Bike & Build, a non-profit group that organizes cross-country bike rides to support affordable housing projects across America.
The group in Portland rode the Central U.S. route, a journey that has taken them from Virgina Beach, Virginia and will end in Cannon Beach in early August. This morning, they’ll be working at Lents Landing (SE 97th and Woodstock) and there’s a reception for the riders tonight in southeast Portland.

The owners of a beloved north Portland eatery, Little Red Bike Cafe, might have shut their doors, but they’ve opened up a book deal. According to a post on their blog on Monday, owners of the cafe Ali and Evan Jepson-Dohrmann are working with a literary agent on a food memoir. The book will be about food and about the adventures of owning a small cafe in Portland.
