Reverend Phil’s “Door Prize” tall bike gets lit up

Bike Temple Grand Opening-8

All lit up. (See video
of it below).

Reverend Phil, a fixture on Portland’s bike fun scene, has added an bright new feature to his infamous “Door Prize” tall bike.

First, the bike is so named because its main frame includes an actual door off of a crashed-out Portland Police car. As if that’s not enough to attract attention, now Phil has wired up and attached a full set of flashing lights — also off of a patrol car.

Thankfully, he doesn’t have a siren hooked up. Yet.

Check out a short video of the flashers in action:

The Monday Roundup

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

It’s Monday morning, time for the news:

– Worldchanging sees the Nobel’s committee choice in its Peace Prize as intended to pressure Obama to move forward on climate issues.

– The LA Times is on the scent of a new trend — kids who aren’t interested in cars. The bad news is that this is in part due to social media making it seem less necessary to go out and meet people.

– The mainstream media is starting to rethink the future of the suburbs, and it doesn’t look good.
