Biketown, the day after (reflections on a big deal)
A few things about Biketown we had to get out of our heads.
Note: I'm currently on a family trip and not working normal hours. Email and message responses will be delayed and story and posting volumes here and on our social media accounts will not be at their usual levels until I return to Portland September 4th. Thanks for your patience and understanding. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor

The deal also adds 400 more bikes to the system.
