Yes Bike Happy Hour is still happening. I never wanted it to just be a BP thing. And yes I'm still going to host sometimes. I'll be sharing hosting duties going forward, but roll over this coming Weds to talk and hang out. Help me figure out the future of BP!

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! 🙏

Finally time to make this official. It's not you. It's me. I just need some space. 🤣 bikeportland.org/2026/04/15/i...

May 13th! I'd love to see you there. bikeportland.org/2026/04/15/c...

The support is there to pass something ASAP. It's just a matter of tweaking around the edges. A bigger debate about how to restructure the fee to make it more fair and accomplish more policy goals (led by Councilor Mitch Green) could be around the corner. bikeportland.org/2026/04/14/b...

PBOT Bike Advisory Committee meets tonight (Tues 4/14, 6-8pm) Agenda includes Q & A with city bike coordinator, recently released annual bike count report, and more. bikeportland.org/events/portl...

Portland should do this. @mayorkwilson.bsky.social should expand Sunday Parkways as a sign of Cascadia solidarity.

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

Still not sure why PPB would call what's clearly a moped, a "scooter"... and that's just one reason I don't like their statement on this collision. bikeportland.org/2026/04/10/d...

While it's good we're holding steady and have pedaled out of the decline that happened between 2016 and 2022, keep in mind we're still down about 40% from our mid-2010s peak. (*Sorry Bluesky isn't showing image in link preview. Working on a fix.) bikeportland.org/2026/04/10/c...

Ever wonder what the BikePortland Shed looks like inside? I should just make a video... but until then, here's a still from a recent interview. Lots of local bike culture on those walls and shelves and boxes!

Don't miss the article about me and @bikeportland.org in the Portland Mercury!! Thanks to @taylorgriggs.bsky.social for putting it together and to @aaronkuehn.bsky.social for the amazing lead photo. 🙏🏻 www.portlandmercury.com/transportati...

In 2022, PBOT blamed a motor failure and supply-chain issues in trying to replace it. Now the problem is recurring vandalism and the solutions are not easy. bikeportland.org/2026/04/08/e...

Wheels twice the size of Lime's existing e-scooters, which a riding position that's more akin to a bicycle — yet with a platform instead of pedals. Say hello to the "LimeGlider" 👋 bikeportland.org/2026/04/07/l...

I hereby formally challenge @mayorkwilson.bsky.social to trial-by-combat (he has to carry a heavy e-bike over the Bob Stacey Overcrossing for everyday the elevators have been out of service, and we’re over two months and counting)

Save the date! *Weds, May 6th* will be a special Bike Happy Hour to celebrate 20 years of BikePortland and the release of Migration's new "Bike Happy Pale Ale," which was inspired by Bike Happy Hour and is an homage to our two decades of journalism for the community. 😎 🎉 More soon.

The ride, organized by a volunteer group known as the 'Bicycle Lobby,' showed support for a plan that would establish 13 "traffic free areas" in downtown Portland. bikeportland.org/2026/04/02/5...

Little snippet from the interview where Evan talks about his inspo for the book and Mark shares how he stumbled across it at Powells. Then Evan reads one of my fave passages! youtube.com/shorts/ar9KA...

A Simple Machine is more than just a film, it's a deeply Portland project that brings our beautiful city and the humble bicycle to the big screen while presenting important and relevant themes that many of us can relate to. bikeportland.org/2026/04/01/p...

So great having you there Megan. Great pics!

What a thrill to interview author Evan P Schneider and filmmaker Mark Alan Hoffman. Mark’s film, “A Simple Machine” is an adaptation of Evan’s book. A bicycle plays a central role in the film, and it was shot entirely in Portland. Full interview up soon.

When you see Kiel Johnson from @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social at Bike Happy Hour tonight (he's hosting!), say congratulations. Today (4/1/26) is 14th anniversary of his Go By Bike bike valet under the Aerial Tram, which he opened on this day in 2012. (Photos from 4/23/2012)

Bike Happy Hour this week (tomorrow Weds 4/1) will be hosted by Kiel Johnson and Mike Perham from nonprofit bike advocacy group BikeLoud PDX. Come out and help them brainstorm PCEF grant ideas. "What would you do with $400K ~ $4 million to advance biking in Portland?"

"Considering apartment dwellers are more likely to ride transit, walk, and ride a bike to meet their daily needs, leading to even less road maintenance costs, the current proposal is even more regressive than has been acknowledged." - @strongtownspdx.bsky.social bikeportland.org/2026/03/30/g...

Someone just sent me this very cool photo of a group bike ride in Portland in 1971 shared by Vintage Portland blog. A commenter confirmed the location as NE Broadway between 6th and 7th. vintageportland.wordpress.com/2026/03/30/n...
