Given our recent discussion of police responses to vehicular assault, I thought this story from Clackamas (about 11 miles SE of downtown Portland) that just came over the wire was interesting.
According to the Oregon State Police, at just before 2:00 today a man named Blake Sharkey Steve, 20, was talking on his cell phone while driving his GMC Suburban when he pulled out of a gas station and struck 20-year old Bonnie Ingersoll as she rode her bicycle on SE 82nd just north of Highway 224. Steve then fled the scene.
Thankfully, several witnesses saw the collision and stuck around to tell Oregon State Police troopers what had happened. One astute bystander got Steve’s license plate and vehicle description and police were able to trace it to his residence and make the arrest.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation is hosting a celebration for bicycle commuters at Pioneer Courthouse Square next Tuesday, May 11. May is National Bike Month for the League of American Bicyclists.
All Portlanders are invited to join the breakfast from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the square. Attendees will be treated to free coffee, tea, bagels, donuts and fruit.
Last year, approximately 250 cyclists and supporters stopped by on their morning commute.

We’ve already mentioned how important it is to speak up at PBOT’s bike boulevard open houses (a.k.a. neighborhood greenways), so today I’ll just offer a gentle reminder of two that are coming up this week.
Tomorrow (5/4) and Thursday (5/6), PBOT will hold their second round of open houses for projects on NE Holman and NE Klickitat respectively.
Thanks to a huge effort by Portlander Jenny Leonard and her friends and volunteers, 315 bikes and a bunch parts, tools, tubes and tires will soon be headed to rural South Africa where they’ll be used by kids who need a quicker and easier way to get to school.
Leonard hoped for 400 bikes and when she was well short of that number after the first publicized collection event, she decided to hold the container open for donations throughout last week.
In an email to supporters yesterday Leonard wrote, “I am so pleased with the fullness of the container and so impressed with everyone’s effort in getting the word out.”
With their recent launch of 500 bikes and 50 kiosks, Denver is now home to the largest bike-sharing system in the United States. Bike-sharing has yet to catch fire in the U.S. like it has in Europe, so Denver’s foray will be watched closely by other U.S. cities, like Portland, that have shown interest in the concept.

She’s also known as the woman who got a local food chain to open up their drive-thrus to bicycles.

“I no longer feel I must defend my choice to go by bike instead of car; instead, I feel I must hold it high, a banner of hope and, perhaps, victory over these heart-clogging disasters.”
Here’s the news that caught our eye this weekend:
– As the news about the oil gusher on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico continues to get worse, some are suggesting ways to prevent future disasters like this.
– And that isn’t even the only bad news this week in the genre of fossil fuel-related disasters.
– Just before the spill, Obama toured southern states discussing his hopes for the US to become the world’s leader in producing and using biofuels like ethanol.
