BikeLoud is a nonprofit full of people trying to help Portland be a city where one quarter of all our trips are done on bicycles. Bikes are an equitable affordable solution for our climate emergency. When we ride bikes, we feel better! bikeloudpdx.org

*ALL* of the errands we did with a car are handled with an electric cargo bike, a bus pass, and an Amtrak ticket. Yes, even in winter. 🚲+🚌+🚅=🦅

"Grey was a therapist, an activist, and an inspiration and support to many Portlanders over the decades. She would post activist posters on fence outside her office so people passing by on the sidewalk could learn from their messages." - Lois Leveen

Welcome to the War On Roads, Oregon neighbors!
opb.org OPB @opb.org · 3d
Umatilla County could become the next rural government to allow all-terrain vehicles on public roads, as its Board of Commissioners considered a proposal that would open up dozens of county roads to ATVs at a Tuesday meeting.
Umatilla could join Oregon counties opening up roads to ATVs
Under a recent proposal, all-terrain vehicles could only drive on designated two-lane gravel roads with a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour. All of those roads exist on the east side of the county.

For most of this video👇property-line-to-property-line width of the street is 68 feet.

SE Hawthorne Blvd averages 80 feet property-line-to-property-line

Something to think about for PDX street repave/sewer projects in the future.

Here's a story about a French artist who turned himself into a bicycle to remind people that we're all human, even when we're riding a bike.

More mainstreaming of the bike bus thanks to Portland's very own Sam Balto. Pushing bikes into the consciousness of young people is so important!
"Something happened between the '80s and now... and the bike bus is working on reconnecting those core moments created with bikes and your friends. And so it was just really amazing that the Stranger Things/Netflix group saw that connection as well." - Sam Balto

How would it feel, Mayor Wilson, to be mayor of a cycling city? Would it make PDX stronger and more resilient? Make your job easier? Make Portland more affordable?

@mayorkwilson.bsky.social
Proud to see London is fast becoming a cycling city ⤵️

📈 Daily journeys are 12% up from last year to 1,500,000 trips
📈 Up by more than 40% since 2019

This is just the start, we’ll continue working with partners to improve safety and invest in more routes.
