At his first State of the City Address on May 2nd, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson was asked a question about job development.

He wants to save money by driving less and invest that savings into cycling and transit. #portlandoregon #urbanplanning #politics
Portland Oregon Mayor Says People Should Leave Cars at Home
Portlander Ryan Francesconi has created a beautiful and thought-provoking film based on a ride of his Oregon Cascade Volcanic Arc (OCVA) route. Titled "OCVA," the work mixes footage of the ride with Francesconi's poetic and politically-charged narration and his own musical composition to create a cycling film like no other. Francesconi is an adventure rider, route-maker, and co-founder of Our Mother the Mountain (OMTM), a large gravel and adventure riding community. Francesconi is interviewed by BikePortland Editor & Publisher Jonathan Maus. #unpaved #gravelriding #ocva #oregon #omtm #cycling *BikePortland: Community Journalism Since 2005* - Latest news on our website (aka "blog"): https://bikeportland.org/ - Subscribe and support: https://bikeportland.org/support - Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/bikeportland/ - Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bikeportland.bsky.social - Listen to our podcast: https://bikeportland.org/cats/podcast

Oregon House Rep. Mark Gamba updates us on House Bill 2963, which would create an e-bike rebate program in Oregon. The bill would provide a $1,200 rebate to folks currently enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan and would be administered through the Department of Human Services. It's currently stuck in committee but could be added to the larger transportation package. *BikePortland: Community Journalism Since 2005* - Latest news on our website (aka "blog"): https://bikeportland.org/ - Subscribe and support: https://bikeportland.org/support - Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/bikeportland/ - Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/bikeportland.bsky.social - Listen to our podcast: https://bikeportland.org/cats/podcast #oregonlegislature #ebikerebates #ebikes #cycling #interview
