Damn. Of all people, Kiel really understands what all the work was about. 🥹🥹🥹 Reading stuff like this makes me want to get bikeportland rolling again 🥰

The Blazers are to this stadium deal like ODOT is to a freeway expansion project.

“Hard work of members of the NYPD” Wait, I thought socialists wanted to abolish the police??!! What’s going on here? 😂

Pretty good day for @bikeportland.org future. Recorded a pod w new BP podcast host @joanbybike.bsky.social and met w an amazing person who could be pivotal in the next chapter!

🎯 “Trimet has multiple overlapping issues making its ridership recovery more difficult, but if you look at population density around MAX lines it's apparent that land use is a major factor.” urbanpdx.blog/why-oregon-n...

This was a really nice surprise.

It’s happening. The Mamdani Effect!?? LFG

I want to keep BP going, but I need to find someone to take the (or some of the) reins.

Hey you on the bike. Yes you. Hello Gorges! Bike Happy Hour🌈🚲🎉 Wed Jun 17 starting around 4PM 2728 SE Ankeny Rainbow Road @shift2bikes.bsky.social @jonathanmaus.bsky.social

“He said cars were once portrayed as killing children, but the world changed its norms…. “When I was growing up, I used to play in the streets,” Huang said. “When cars came along, you obviously can’t play in the streets now.” Sigh apnews.com/article/nvid...

woah, guess i found my people

"AirBnB for extra seats in your car," is how the creator of Portland-based HitchPiggy describes his new "community rideshare platform." hitchpiggy.com

Extremely exciting. Hopefully it’s a sign of more food and cafe aactivations not just in Waterfront Park but other parks as well.

Bike Happy Hour shifts to Ankeny Rainbow Road🌈🏳️‍🌈🚲 Wed June 10 4-7PM 2728 SE Ankeny June 10 also when BikeLoud officially becomes the permanent host of PDX's weekly bike community gathering. p.s. many @bike-summer.org @shift2bikes.bsky.social rides start at this bike gathering. See you Wednesday!

oh would you look at that... "Nelson, who was operating what is now determined to be an electric motorcycle and not an electric bicycle." But damage is done because all the local media copied "bicyclist" from original PPB statement. do better PPB! www.portland.gov/police/news/...

really wonderful reflections here from a local organizer I have a ton of respect for! Thank you Jessica.

thanks for being there Brandon! Such a great night and feeling grateful for all the love and support. And the beer! So good. They sold 10 cases and 2 kegs in 5 hours!

Really hope you can make it on Wednesday! bikeportland.org/2026/05/11/o...

going through old photos.. Can you believe this was just normal evening bike traffic on N Williams Ave in 2016? And look how full the bike parking at New Seasons was! work from home really changed so much about our streets.

Our 20 year party is coming together! It's 8 days away (Weds, 5/13). Meet folks from: Bike Farm, The Street Trust, NW Trail Alliance, Bike Loud PDX, Cycle Oregon, Oregon Trails Coalition, Strong Towns. Food, drinks, speakers, bike culture museum, BP photo gallery.... bikeportland.org/20years

Picking up my 4 year old neighbor from school on my bike today and i'm so excited about it!

Well, well, well if it isn’t Portland Metro Chamber caught red handed with a sloppy attempt at an anti-DSA red scare. Excellent investigative reporting by Alex Baumhardt to track the $ and make sure the culprits were clearly identified. Dirty politics is what we all know to expect from the PMC.

😲😲😲

Getting good feedback to my post yesterday. Spent my morning so far responding to all the commenters. bikeportland.org/2026/04/28/w...

It's Bike Happy Hour Day! (Weds, 4/29). I'll be hosting at Migration Brewing on N Williams Ave from 3-6 pm. Come out and tell me how BikePortland can help our city be better. Or just hang. I'm buying food for everyone at 4:30. Mic opens at 5:30 for announcements, speeches, etc. See you soon!

Been thinking a lot about what BikePortland might look like in the future and figured this was a good question to spur some feedback. What do you think? I don't want to do it all anymore, so what pieces should I pick back up? What pieces should I let others do? Any/all feedback welcome.

Yesterday I biked out to Migration Brewery in Gresham w @kielbybike.bsky.social to see our new Bike Happy Pale Ale being made 🍺. It’ll be released at our 20th anniversary party on May 13th at Migration on N Williams Ave! youtu.be/lJHVu078YtA

very cool. I'm a player support volunteer for this event, so I'll be out there making sure Councilor Avalos stays hydrated and comfy.

Comments on this reddit post were actually a lot less painful than I expected. Still rife with incorrect assumptions and things I completely disagree with, but also lots of folks standing up with facts and sentiments to support me and BP. www.reddit.com/r/Portland/c...

Some great context here for where I'm at right now. Thanks to Lily and OPB for putting it together.

Today's Portland postcard:

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Thinking a lot about the past lately. The other day I was starting at my old reporter notebooks in the Shed and thought of a fun way to share some Portland bike history.. Let's dive into one of them... www.instagram.com/reel/DXhy0pz...

That was fun. Had an online office hours guest just now who wasn't even born when I started BikePortland! And then the next person dropped into my virtual office while sitting in a kayak on the lake out at Smith & Bybee wetlands. 😎

And this Friday night, come join a conversation hosted by Oregon Humanities. I’ll share the stage w some amazing folks as we delve into the Big Questions. tomorrowtheater.org/movies/tough...

Beer is being brewed on Monday. 😲

Just wrapped a fun chat w @opb.org Weekend Edition host Lily Karabaic… We talked BikePortland past and future. And water skiing. 🤣🤣 Listen for it Saturday morning.

My 2022 photos of Sam Balto and his Alameda Bike Bus are easily the most reproduced images I've ever taken. Latest place I see it is in this ABC News video thumbnail. (and BTW my photos are free if used to help our community 😎) www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsTj...

Here’s how I spent my weekend 🏀❤️😎

Just wrapped four great conversations with folks during my weekly virtual office hours. I'm so grateful for all the supportive words and thoughts from people who've read BP over the years!! Next week I'll open more office hour times and will encourage more folks to drop in. stay tuned.

Looking forward to hosting Bike Happy Hour next week (Weds 4/22). I'll post on the blog about it on Monday, but I'm hoping folks will show up and be ready to share thoughts about what the next chapter of BikePortland should look like. And/or just show up to chat and hang out as per usual. 😎

Someone just asked me if they should delete their BikePortland web shortcut. "Heck no!" I said. I am not shutting the site down or making it dormant. BikePortland will absolutely live on and publish again. What form that takes is what I'm working on. Stay tuned! 🙏

I've been thinking a lot about what comes next for me and BikePortland. Not sure yet, but feels good (and weird!) to get this out into the world.

hoping to have an epic open mic at this one. Maybe some of our legendary commenters will even come out of the shadows 🤣

Councilor Koyama Lane wants 25% of new revenue for Vision Zero. Councilor Zimmerman wants 12.5% for Vision Zero and 12.5% for a sidewalk-specific program. But almost everyone on council (only "no" so far being Ryan) wants the same thing: More funding for PBOT.

Note: I took this post down over the weekend. I'll share more when I can. Thanks for understanding.

Your turn @mayorkwilson.bsky.social. We have Sunday Parkways... now let's do more of them!

Good clip. Let’s ged rid of I-5 on the east bank and take our city back! Full interview here youtu.be/oFSUzEyCPH8?...

Orban has conceded! Magyar wins!! A victory for the world. A loss for authoritarians and MAGA.

Had to do it
