This bike has my blood in it. We were intimate in a way only you fellow cyclist can know. Any assistance you can offer in getting my baby back to me- your efforts will not be without reward. It was stolen from near NE 30th and Burnside. I am not interested in pressing charges, I just want my bike and my huge white cotton bag of laundry returned to me. Please help me Portland. I love you. Call Steve at 503 473 1877 if you have any leads. Thank you.

It’s been an exciting year for bikes — and 2010 is shaping up to be even more so. We asked a wide variety of people from across the vast spectrum of the Portland bike scene about their big hopes and dreams for the coming year — personal, in their work, and on a bigger scale. The range of responses we got was suitably broad and inspiring.
Take a minute to read them and add your own 2010 hopes and resolutions in the comments… and have a Happy New Year!
It’s (almost) the New Year!
We’ve gone into some detail already about several New Years Day rides — and now more have been added, making a grand total of five! Here’s the rundown (minus the sold-out Cycle Wild camping trip), plus a Saturday ride for good measure.
In the world of print, most bicycle-themed publications are novice-level — they tell you how to fix your bike or guide you through gaining skills and confidence to ride in traffic. Then there’s the other end of the spectrum — the ivory tower of transportation theory.
That’s why I have to bless Boneshaker‘s scrappy heart and 104 information-packed pages for filling the much needed void between these two genres.
This small volume communicates on a level for those who just want to ride their bikes and then talk about it afterwards. It fully lives up to its subtitle, “A Bicycling Almanac.”
It’s the morning after an unexpected snow storm that blanketed the City last night.
In The Oregonian this morning, ODOT says the streets of Portland are “clear and passable” (that’s not the case in my neighborhood!).
PBOT issued a weather advisory at 6:00 am this morning saying that even though the snow is melting, streets are still “slick and slushy.”
CITY STREETS THAWING BUT STILL SLICK AND SLUSHY
Posted: December 30th, 2009 5:59 AM(Portland, OR) – The Portland Bureau of Transportation is reporting that yesterday’s surprise snowstorm still has city streets slick and under cover of slush. Major arterials are in good condition, but many neighborhood residential streets are still hazardous this morning. The public is advised to take it slow and easy while warmer temperatures gradually thaw streets and sidewalks.
WEATHER FORECAST
-Temperatures above freezing and rising will help thaw city streets and sidewalks.
-Rain showers will help clear streets of snow and slush.
Excuse me while I gloat…
KGW-TV (Portland’s NBC affiliate) traffic reporter Michael Convery said this afternoon’s surprise snowstorm is the worst he’s seen in his nearly 20-year career in the Portland region. In a report tonight, he shared tales of a 25 mile backup on I-5 south of Tigard, about 50 abandoned vehicles on Highway 26 between the Zoo and I-405, the Fremont Bridge as a “high-rise parking lot”, and so on.
