Who says you can't convince haters to agree w you online? I like to lean into these exchanges when certain types of people come at me in DMs. Note at the end when the person basically says, "OK, I agree. Good points. Have a nice weekend." 😎

Fuck cars. Fuck all cars. Fuck this car. Fuck that car. Fuck their car. Fuck your car. Fuck cars. Fuck all cars.

For Clark, it's all about the potholes. I sat down with the councilor last week to talk about the most consequential move of her young political career: asking Portlanders to pay more for transportation. bikeportland.org/2025/12/15/c...

The New Jersey e-bike registration legislation is a great example of what can happen when anti-bike rhetoric and misinformation goes unchecked. bikeportland.org/2025/12/14/m...

Updates: -Yesterday, PBOT said trip authorized by Deputy City Admin of Public Works -Then Mayor Wilson's Deputy Chief of Staff said that was incorrect and that the person who signed off on it was (outgoing) City Admin Mike Jordan. -Williams' LinkedIn post about the trip has been deleted.

Really cool event happening this afternoon. Folks are visioning for a transformation of SW Harvey Milk and Oak couplet as a way to trigger better access to Waterfront Park. Open house 3-6 pm (12/12), presentation at 4:30. bikeportland.org/events/trans...

I hope bike lane sweeping movement is to maintenance what bike bus movement was to safe routes to school. What I mean is... imagine if the City of Portland embraced this like they embraced bike buses. I can see a future where PBOT buys bike-powered sweepers and empowers city staff to pilot them.

Look at the central city riverfront of Portland. It's just so shocking and embarrassing that we tolerate this.

Big day at Oregon Transportation Commission where a vote is expected on the I-5 Rose Quarter project. Commissioners could vote to pause funding and deliver a major blow to the already embattled project. bikeportland.org/2025/11/11/i...

Rode around for an hour and a half clearing storm drains this morning. This was the final boss- I had to use street view to find the drain! Nothing more satisfying than the sucking sound when it opens up.

In 2008, this same officer got into hot water for ticketing cyclists who were riding legally in NE Portland in what I referred to as “the Ainsworth Incident” bikeportland.org/2008/12/23/l...
