This man tried to sell this stolen tall bike to Aaron Brown for $20 last Thursday.
Stealing a bike is bad enough; but stealing an artistic tall bike from a well-known local street performer and personality is a whole nother story.

The Monday Roundup: Glowing bike paths, LeMond’s fury & more
(Image: Pro-Teq)
Before we share the best bike stories from last week, we’d like to share a word from our sponsor: Pedal PT is southeast Portland’s, full-service and bike-friendly physical therapy headquarters with a specialty in bike fit and treatment of cycling injuries. Roll into their indoor bike parking at SE 25th and Clinton (and thank them for supporting BikePortland!).
And now, here are the stories that caught our eyes last week…
Luminous path: “Pitched as an alternative to street lighting, Starpath absorbs and stores energy from UV rays during the day and then releases the energy at night, allowing particles to glow.”
LeMond vs. Armstrong: The only remaining American Tour de France champion lashes out at his supposed successor, calling Armstrong a “thug” who should have been able to place only “top 30 at best” and deserves to go to jail.
