4/21: Hello readers and friends. I'm still recovering from a surgery I had on 4/11, so I'm unable to attend events and do typical coverage. I'll post as I can and should improve day-by-day. Thanks for all your support 🙏. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor

Weekend Event Guide: Sunday Parkways, Train Day, MMR & more

East Sunday Parkways-26

Welcome to your menu of weekend rides and events, lovingly brought to you by our friends at Hopworks Urban Brewery.

In the weather this weekend, Friday and Saturday are looking warm but damp — nothing Oregonians can’t handle — with Saturday getting drier as the day goes on. Next week, meanwhile, forecasters are expecting a heat wave into the 80s. But the inflection point on Sunday is likely to be glorious. Get those chains oiled.

Friday, May 9th

Nice new online maps show biking rates by neighborhood

In the darkest tracts mapped here, more than 20 percent of the working population gets to work mostly by bicycle.
(Image captured from Census Explorer’s new Commute Edition)

Certain less geeky news outlets we might mention are reporting today on a report about biking and walking to work (PDF), just out from the Census Bureau.

We haven’t jumped on the news, since we covered this data when it first became publicly available last fall. (We love you, though, OPB.) But one thing that is new on the Census site is a very nice interactive map that quickly plots 22 years of commuting data to the neighborhood level.
