Here are the bike-related links from around the world that caught our eyes this week:
Bike skyways: A British starchitect wants to build a 135-mile network of elevated bikeways above London’s commuter rail lines. (It’s an oddly familiar concept…)

I promise we’re going to be able to focus on cheerier subjects soon, but some facts are too shocking to pass over.
After a late-night crash that police say involved drunk and reckless driving, the corner of Southwest Barbur and Miles has now seen three road deaths in a single year. That’s 9 percent of the 35 traffic fatalities that have happened in the entire city of Portland in 2013.
The intersection is on the main bike route that connects most of Southwest Portland with rest of the city.

North Portland; unincorporated Washington County. Planning; engineering. Biking; walking. Government service; neighborhood activism.
Shelley Oylear, the only public employee in Washington County with the word “bicycle” in her job title, is the 36-year-old queen of having feet in two worlds. And with a new six-mile off-road path just opened and three miles of new curb-protected bike lanes in the works, her diverse background is paying off for the people of the metro area’s west side.
