A year ago, I mentioned a new brew pub in the works that planned to cater to “Portland’s two-wheeled cutlure.” Since then, Oregonian reporter John Foyston shared the news that it will be called Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB) (2944 SE Powell Blvd) and it’s expected to open next month.

U-lock maker Kryptonite is looking to gain exposure in Portland.
They’ll help run the bike valet at the upcoming Bicycle Film Festival, which rolls into Portland in September. In advance of that event, spokesperson Donna Tocci says they’ve already put up posters and decals (see samples below) around the city with their latest marketing slogans.
With a large increase in bicycle ridership over the years, two-wheeled traffic is beginning to outgrow infrastructure that was once considered adequate. Bike congestion is becoming more common, especially on paths that are popular with pedestrians like; the Eastbank Esplanade, the Waterfront, and especially the Hawthorne Bridge (where stakes are much higher due to speeding auto traffic just inches away).
With this increased traffic, new safety concerns have arisen. You might remember Elly Blue’s editorial on using bike bells and the importance of “passing etiquette”.

The 2007 legislative session in Salem has been a busy one for bike bills. Here’s a rundown of where things stand on the ones I’ve been following.
