Lifestyle column: A biker’s ode to the butt

Look familiar?

Cathy Hastie is BikePortland’s lifestyle columnist.

Gravel and grit from the street kicks up onto my legs. Rain and sweat drizzle between my shoulder blades. Grinding brakes pierce my ears as a semi-truck swooshes too close. Being out in traffic on my daily bike commute can wear down my senses. Day in and day out, you would think I’d complain about the harsh urban visuals as well.

But from my hunched-over posture on my Trek, the view is fascinating. Anyone who rides during the bike rush probably knows what I am talking about. What is perfectly aligned in my sights as the crowd of bikers swarms ahead of me, heading west up the Hawthorne bridge?

I’ll give you a hint – it ain’t the sunrise.

The Monday Roundup: Busted legislator, condom sponsorship & more

Lawbreakers all.

Good morning readers! Please join us in thanking this week’s sponsor of the Monday Roundup: Pedal PT is southeast Portland’s full-service, bike-friendly physical therapy headquarters. They specialize in bike fit and cycling injury recovery… And their support helps make BikePortland possible.

Now, onto the news…

Poetic justice: “Labour MP who called cyclists ‘law-breakers’ busted for running a red.”

Condoms sponsor bikesharing: “If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride,” say the ads for a Boulder, Colo.-based condom maker that are helping pay for the city’s new bikeshare system. With our system probably delayed again due to lack of sponsors. Portland needs all the ideas it can get.

Traffic as a new global pandemic: Fascinating analogy: “Car crashes and motorcycle accidents are symptoms of a disease, and it’s high time we started looking at killer roads as a public health crisis.”
