An article published Monday in the popular New York Times blog, Freakonomics, claims that used bikes in Portland are overpriced.
In, Bicycle Inflation in Paradise, reporter Robin Goldstein sets out to buy a used bike during a recent visit to Portland and then is shocked to find out the going rate for a road-worthy used city bike in Portland is about $500 — much more than the $35 he spent for a squeaky junker last time he was in a bike shop.
New Belgium Brewing’s Tour de Fat rolled through Portland on Saturday. The event has been coming to town since 2003 and somehow, it just keeps getting better.
Maybe it’s the huge bike parade that always attracts a high percentage of freak/art bikes and costumed riders, or maybe it’s because it’s free to enter and you can see excellent live music and performance acts, or maybe it’s just because it’s an excuse to have a bike-themed party in a park while raising money for local non-profits. Whatever the reason, it’s always a good time.
Portland Opera has found another way to tap into the local bike scene. Back in May, we brought you the story of how they actively encourage visiting Opera stars to borrow bikes while they’re in town.
Now, they plan to bring the Opera directly to the bikeways with a new event they call Bikes, Bohème, and Beer. This Friday, Portland Opera has invited all bike commuters that roll by their SE Caruthers Street location to stop in for complimentary beverages on their riverside patio (that just so happens to be a few feet from the busy Eastbank Esplanade). Here’s a snip from their notice about the event:

We’re excited to announce our next Get Together!
If you live/work/ride in or around inner Northeast Portland’s Alberta Arts District, join us next week to talk bikes, bike commuting, bike business, bike events, bike advocacy, and more.
We’ll host an evening of socializing and inspiration on Tuesday, 8/25 from 5:30 – 7:30pm at the Radio Room (1101 NE Alberta). We’ll be out on the patio if the weather’s nice and come early to grab a prime parking spot in the Radio Room’s awesome bike corral.
There was a lot of news this week. We broke it down by region.
– The $3 billion federal Cash for Clunkers program has been slightly hard on used car dealerships, but is great for auto salvagers, con artists, people who couldn’t previously afford to get an SUV, and new car manufacturers, particularly ones in Asia. The program has, however, helped catch one hit and run perpetrator.
