"#Portland'er Rachel O'Connor's life has been "transformed" in just five months since she made a fateful decision to sell her beloved minivan. #CarFree#BikeTooter#pdxBikes
"thinking it would be a temporary way to save some money... felt a lot more doable on an #eBike... my life has been completely transformed by the experiences I’ve had on a bike the past five months. Here are some rapid-fire highlights of how I have evolved, as well as some hacks I’ve stumbled upon"
Put on your #superhero costume to celebrate #NationalSuperheroDay! 2:15pm Sunday Apr 28th, family-friendly bike ride from the Sunnyside School playground to Books With Pictures. 2 miles each way with a break at the comic shop and food carts before looping back to the start.

7pm Mellow Mondays. Ride with friends. Themed weekly rides. NakedHearts:PDX Oopise Daisy ride - a loop from Abernathy School near the playground, SE from Ladd's circle, Elliott & Birch. #pdxBikes#bikeFun
If you've been trying to make sense of events like the #Ladds500 and other #pdxBikes#bikeFun on the @shift2bikes calendar, this video from @bikestuffpdx is a great summary. 😂
Join @bikeloudpdx at the #Ladds500 today and check out the bike lane sweeper, definitely not the only unusual device you'll see on the circle today. Meet your neighborhood activists and learn how you can help #Portland's #transportation bureau reach the #ClimateAction plan goal to make bikes the easy choice for 25% of trips. #pdxBikes
#PBOT has a problem where they all spend effort shuffling around projects trying to catch potential funding sources falling from the sky and then don't really do basic things on the ground about what it's like to ride a bike in this city. #Portland#pdxBikes#Vision60or70something#ClimateDenial
Join @bikeloudpdx Hack Night online at 7pm Thursday April 11 and learn how to make fun maps, like everywhere the city of Portland has posted "crosswalk closed" and similar anti-pedestrian signage. 🚷 🚘 #pdxBikes#VisionZero#Portland#OpenData#pdxTech
final day to provide feedback about the 82nd Ave Major Maintenance Project. #PBOT’s current plans do not include improvements to a majority of sidewalks or any accommodations for people riding #pdxBikes along #SE82nd at all, no #BusLanes for the bus line with the highest ridership in #Oregon??
Memorial Ride & Ghost Bike for David Bentley: Saturday, March 30th, honoring the Portlander who was intentionally hit and killed with a car on SE Belmont near MLK. The ride will meet at 1pm in Waterfront Park near Everett St. #pdxBikes#VisionZero#Portland

The wind resistance vs the umbrella bike loses a lot of the hill's speed almost immediately where it flattens out here. Not all of these speed reader boards will give you a number when you're this far below the posted speed, but the BH-Hwy ones do.
This block of Taylors Ferry between Virginia and LaView was supposed to have a protected bike lane years ago. Why is this stuff so slow to get onto the ground? #SWTFpdx#pdxBikes#Vision60or70something
big sweeper headed south on Terwilliger #pdxBikes, to get the 50 buckets of gravel left after my 3 or 4 yesterday. They need to just have the little sweeper pickup rate data telling them where to send the big ones.
