Bike thief “exposed” on Craigslist

Note: At 7:29pm this evening I published a story based on a Craigslist post (it has since been flagged and is no longer visible) that contained photos and serious allegations about a bike thief working in Southeast Portland. In the past hour I have heard from several personal friends of the alleged thief and they vouch that he is nothing of the sort (and I believe them because they are also friends of mine).

I have removed the story and I apologize for any confusion it might have caused. I also regret helping to perpetuate — if even for just a few hours — something that was simply not true.

Vancouver (WA) gets a buffered bike lane of their own

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

The City of Vancouver announced today that they’ve installed a new bike lane along SE 20th Street (from 176th to 192nd) that includes a “buffer area between the bicycle and the travel lane.”

This is the latest in a string of bikeway news from Portland’s neighbor to the north. Last month we reported about a project to improve the dreadful crossing of the I-5 Bridge and a week later we shared news of Vancouver’s first on-street bike parking corral.

Flaming Lips to throw party, screening for naked, bicycling extras

By now the world has heard that the Flaming Lips were in Portland last month to film naked bikers for a music video for their new album, Embryonic (which incidentally has become the band’s first top 10 hit).

The video is now complete, and the band is throwing a screening and dance party this week to thank all the extras (and friends, and fans).

On Wednesday, October 28th, from 8:00pm – 11:00pm at Lolas Room, 1332 W. Burnside. 18 and older only. Party organizer Jillian Kelsheimer Sevick says to wear clothes, and get there early for swag and fun times.

Kelsheimer Sevick also cautions that due to the need to turn many hours of footage into a few minutes of music video, not everyone who showed up for the two days of shooting is visible in the final cut — but urges everyone to come watch the video and confirm your hopes (or fears).

There is also a Facebook group for shoot participants to stay in touch with the band and each other.
