4/25: 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. See this post for the latest update. I'll work as I can and I'm improving every day! Thanks for all your support 🙏. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor

‘Oregon Bike List’ aims to be Oregon-made directory

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

Screen grab from OregonBikeList.com.

Oregon’s home-grown bicycle industry is very impressive. We know this because we’ve been covering our state’s bike builders and bike companies for many years here on the Front Page. Now there’s a site that’s trying to bring it all together in a simple, visual directory format: Oregon Bike List.

Oregon Bike List is the work of Portland resident Jeremy Krall. So far, Krall has listed the bikes and basic contact information for 45 or so Oregon-based bike builders. A web developer by trade (his day job is Tech Director with digital marketing agency R/GA), Krall told us the project was born out of his love for local, handmade bike stuff.

“I was recently building up a bike and had some wheels built by the folks at Sugar [Wheel Works] and the experience was amazing,” he shared via email. “Subsequently, I had a chance to tour Chris King [Precision Components] and saw the level of skill and craftsmanship that went into the process on the creation side.”

The Monday Roundup: Right hooks in Copenhagen, Facebook town and more

The ice. sensor measures skull impacts.

Here’s the bike-related news that caught our eyes this week:

Trauma detector: A new product that attaches to your helmet immediately detects “if the force of the impact you are experiencing is consistent with a concussion or major head trauma”.

Forest mountain biking: “The local forest is like an amusement park, where you get to select your desired level of difficulty or excitement.”

Simulated city: Two years after moving into its suburban campus, Facebook is responding to its workers’ housing preferences (and Silicon Valley’s code-enforced sprawl) by developing a 394-apartment building for its employees, a five-minute bike ride from its headquarters.

Fall sun smiles on crowds at Cross Crusade season opener

One of the country’s biggest amateur bike races drew an estimated 1400 participants to the former dairyfields of Southwest Portland Sunday as the Cross Crusade season kicked open.

“If you ride ‘cross, the one you have to go to every year is Crusade,” said Dan Evan, 27, a process engineer from Southeast Portland leaning, shirtless, over the finish line at the Alpenrose Velodrome. “It’s like the big reunion. Every year, everybody comes to Alpenrose.”

Evan said he’d been inspired to start racing cyclocross in 2009 after seeing “some rad videos on the Internet” and competed in 12 or 13 events last year.
