The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy is shifting their efforts into high gear with the planned October 20th release of their new report, Active Transportation for America: The Case for Increased Federal Investment in Bicycling and Walking.
The report will try to make it clear to policy makers, advocates, the media and the public that an increased federal investment in bicycling and walking is long overdue in America.
I first reported about The Bicyclist back in February of 2007 — just before the Internet-only “webisode” premiered. Since then, Craftmaster Productions has filmed 30 episodes of the series, which follows the adventures of its four main characters Conrad (Jayme S. Hall), Steve (Elle Poindexter), Lissa (Melissa Goad), and Zack (Paul Glazier) as their lives weave and wend through Portland’s bike culture.
Sorry. This job has been filled.

The Bike Show on KBOO FM (90.7 in Portland) was home to a discussion of Portland’s bike economy last week.
Show hosts Tori Bortman (a part of that economy herself as the owner of Gracie’s Wrench) and Carl Larson talked about bikes and business with Matt Cardinal of Signal Cycles, Jennifer Nolfi, bike industry sector liaison for the Portland Development Commission, and Jessica Roberts of Portland-based consulting group Alta Planning.

With 24 builders (at last count) currently plying their trade in Portland, this city is the epicenter for America’s bike-making renaissance.
What do builders from other places think about that? Ask 15-year framebuilding legend Curtis Inglis of Napa, California-based Inglis/Retrotec Cycles. Or better yet, check out the T-shirt he was wearing at the Oregon Manifest show…

For now, check out the slideshow below for a few more selections from my Oregon Manifest photo gallery.
