My big bike is the size of a small car. The red background of my selfie is not a political statement; I took it at a Target. My biking is for my personal mental and physical health; don't get bent out of shape over it.

@kristianne411.bsky.social I saw a comment of yours in some thread and had to come look at your Girl in a Pearl Earring that looked off somehow. My words I love it! Following for that.

Didnโ€™t know you were here, or I had forgotten. Saw PJ randomly at a coffee shop today and he asked after you. Thought Iโ€™d try here and, look! Here you are!

@bikeportland.org Seems someone was hit at 26th and Powell. Ambulance still there, fire truck has left. Not sure if biking related but being that intersection thought Iโ€™d let you know.

Does this mean itโ€™s time to take her spoke card out of my front wheel?

I have been saying that these ICE thugs look and operate like nothing so much as the paramilitary death squads in the Southern Cone countries in the 1970s and 1980s, who disappeared people and adopted out their children, and HERE WE ARE. ๐Ÿฅš

Despite my best efforts for several years certain folks in my life and profession wonโ€™t listen to me about leaving X. If you wonโ€™t listen to me even though Iโ€™m an expert on what that website used to be & what it is now, maybe for some reason you will listen to Ben, Ben isnโ€™t me, maybe that helps lol

Cities in East Multnomah County say they'll end road deaths by 2035 "Without real tangible action, the goal is only as strong as the paper it's written on."

This plan can be a powerful tool for community leaders and should help hasten road safety interventions and investments in East Multnomah County.

And at least the 3 of us were Oregon residents that vacationed on Bainbridge Island specifically because we wanted to ride a ferry. โค๏ธ

Biketown and Oregon Safe Routes have opportunities for high schoolers Two great volunteer opportunities โ€” and one of them is paid.

Do you have a high schooler in your life who's jazzed on cycling or who understands how biking and walking can positively impact someone's life? If so, I've got two interesting volunteer opportunities to consider.

People on Bikes: A mild fall day on Springwater Corridor The latest in my long-running series of action portraits.

Have a look at who was out on the Springwater Corridor path on a mild and dry fall day. What do you notice about: who's riding, what they're riding, how they're riding it, and what they're wearing while doing so?

This unimaginable tragedy happened at N Interstate and N Lombard โ€” which remains one of Portland's most inhumane and stressful intersections.

We rode the Cascades last week. I appreciate the work that gets done keeping us safe and fed while getting places (mostly) on time. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and everyone we met! Looking forward to riding these new trains.

PBOT gives bike bus leaders traffic signal superpowers You could think of this as bike bus signal priority.

At several locations across the city where bike bus routes cross busy intersections, the Portland Bureau of Transportation has programmed traffic signals with a custom, bike bus-friendly timing plan that is activated by a longer push of the beg button.

(!!!)

Slow biking? Oh, yeah. Sounds like something @sarahgilbert.bsky.social said at Ignite Portland years ago.

MediaLab is deleting them as fast as they're being posted, but we all will know how John was our go-to for expressing our dissatisfaction.
