I think the trailgator costs some fraction of what the followme does, so I don't expect much, but it looks like the kid's steering is loose (handlebars wiggling) and the kid's bike is leaning to one side courtesy of a twisted / under-tightened seatpost clamp (I'm looking at you, #pdxBikes#SundayParkways dads)

Monday, PSU students will be holding a drop-in open house to gather feedback on people's preferences between different alternatives for bike, pedestrian, and placemaking improvements along #SandyBlvd between 14th and 28th #pdxBikes#Portland#transportation
I'm having a hard time believing, not that a #transportation agency would come up with a plan that was to sweep the broken glass and gravel off of the sidewalks and leave it in the bike lanes for a few days before sweeping it up, just that it wasn't done with intentional malice or disdain toward people on bikes. (months after it snowed and they graveled everything while plowing the snow onto the sidewalks) #BarburBlvd#pdxBikes#Portland#BikeTooter#ClimateDenial#CarSupremacy#ODOTGTFOpdx
and yes, that does look like an Oregon PW plate on the back of that pickup, so yes they should have one on the front, $115 fine. But sure, we'll just "share the road" with people in 6000lb missles and expect that they're paying attention and following the rules. #DriverAccountability
@Karstan I think we went the long way through east from Haines and maybe these lines were off, we definitely didn't come into the west end of this gravelled lot, that would have been much easier, the SW trails 7 was the left fork we didn't take but I didn't see this many forks.
@voiceofunreason yes and PBOT used that as an excuse to build the worthless median islands instead of protected bike lanes 😞. I believe Hardesty later admitted that they got the wrong design on this, while she was relatively new as commissioner when she made that choice. The merchants and traffic Engineers need to understand that not all drivers are going to make any effort to do better.
#Portland's new Deputy City Administrator of Public Works will start July 1, in transition to the new form of government adopted by the charter reform measure. Public Works will include Water, Environmental Services, and #Transportation bureaus (which will be run by a City Administrator rather than elected commissioners of our current system.) #pdxBikes
Tactical network-level changes like cut-thru traffic diversion and bus-turn-only road diets are badly needed if we want to actually connect a usable low-stress #bikewayNetwork and not waste the next decade on more non-progress like rebuilding Hawthorne or flashing beacons on 82nd. Drop in hardware, take feedback, and iterate, not this narrow, overpriced, too-little-too-late stuff like around Tilikum, Naito, and soon SW 4th. #tacticalUrbanism like Jersey City, Paris, Seville, Amsterdam 50yrs ago
For far too long, Portland's electeds have been allergic to the word "bike", operating under the delusion (or was it just a lie?) that transit would be the means for people to get out of their cars. But Portland doesn't run its own transit except the streetcar, and the last-mile problem of our sprawling low-density neighborhoods keeps transit from being functional without bikes, for the majority of the population. Until most kids can bike to school, this city is going to stay stuck in traffic.
started today with last-second bike switch because a tiny piece of broken glass was in the tire of the tandem project (that hasn't been upgraded to new tougher stuff yet). Every time this happens I'm convinced the glass bottle deposit should go up by $1000.10 😡 #pdxBikes#BikeTooter
@WolfIsMe schwalbe pick-up tire or something with a breaker strip today I'm just switching from an old kontact to a narrower west because it's new and not worn so far through 🤞
