This side street route on 6th off of Terwilliger (south of i5) is maybe a bit steeper at the bottom than going around the curve, but usually seems more pleasant than riding uphill with that car traffic in a painted gutter (which seems to be often neglected, littered with leaves and branches from all of the trees) with poor visibility. #pdxBikes
The city is closing about 10 km of streets to vehicle traffic in Northeast #Portland from 11:00 to 16:00 today for the second Parkways event where people can #bike, #walk, or otherwise use the roads without having to worry about cars.
There will be live music, vendors, information, and free basic bike tuneups along the route. I wish I could go, but I’m working today.
9am tomorrow "join the Steel Bridge Skatepark Coalition at City Hall as we testify in favor of building a welcoming, inclusive, and public downtown #skatepark for skaters of all abilities and backgrounds to enjoy!" #pdxBikes#pdxSkates#skateboarding#Portland#pedalPalooza (Wed, Jun 21)
🚨 STOP ODOT’S BACKROOM HEIST, HELP US RIGHT-SIZE INTERSTATE BRIDGE INVESTMENT
The freeway lobbyists have included a $1 billion allocation of General Obligation Bond funds for the proposed Interstate Bridge Replacement in an amendment to House Bill 5005. This amendment dropped over the holiday weekend, a day before two work session votes on the legislation, the week before session ends. #ORleg#ORpol#NoMoreFreeways#ClimateAction#Portland#pdxBikes

What would it take for cities to retrofit or supplement their #bike counters with #eBike detectors? The growth of #eBikes for #transportation trips should not be underestimated. Maybe an EMF or heat signature? How do the standard ones distinguish multiple bikes at once? #pdxBikes#bikeTooter
