The more dense an area is, the more people realize they need to make compromises & be empathetic towards their neighbors. You can't ignore societal problems: you see them in front of you every day, & you're motivated to help the people around you who need it. That’s why theres no republican cities.

Here's what BikeLoud wrote to PBOT about removing our safe street infrastructure. As your non-profit bike group we can be LOUD. Together we can be LOUDER. Find addresses for @mayorkwilson.bsky.social & @portlandcouncil.bsky.social here: www.portland.gov/help/contact...

Once again the one person on council who doesn’t take transit regularly exploits the perception of its danger

I’LL BE THERE! Last second change up gave me a chance to go! Come say hi 👋

We're rallying TOMORROW for more homes for Portlanders in our most opportunity rich neighborhoods!

I don’t think I ever look forward to fall/winter as much as I do summer. It’s the last day of summer and I still long for the days of short sleeves, sweat, and patios

My 3rd place is this curb and stop sign

Figure out what you’re passionate about, find the people who also share that passion, then literally go to town: stormwater symposium bike ride in Portland, OR

Nothing like jamming to Built to Spill and counting bikes @pbotinfo.bsky.social

Counting the bikes in ‘hell on earth’

Hey #pdxbikes: I’ll be counting bikes 4-6pm this afternoon at N Michigan and Skidmore (by Prost Marketplace) come say hi👋 (and get counted✅ @bikeportland.org

Just happened upon this lovely change👀 New NE Broadway bike lanes @pbotinfo.bsky.social

These scam texts are getting oddly specific

the rescheduled northeast taco ride is on for this tuesday 8/19, meeting at peninsula park - not too late to rsvp, details on the @shift2bikes.bsky.social website: www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/eve...

Hardly any diverters in Lake Oswego if y’all just wanna head there.

Nothing more American than taking the train to reduce oil dependency only to end up staring at millions of oil next to your face the entire trip

Choosing to drive is choosing to neglect the places that you have to encounter in between where you are and your destination.

“This meeting is entirely for those with the time and privilege to obstruct & delay desperately needed ­housing & transit improvements.” Truer words couldn’t be said for so much ‘public involvement’ blue cities love to favor.

Cargo-Curious "Show & Tell" Bike Show! Can PDX host a cargo bike picnic this summer @bike-summer.org @kielbybike.bsky.social @robgalanakis.bsky.social @tigard-stripes.bsky.social @nictrieslife.bsky.social @bikeportland.org? Here's Minneapolis' most recent event @streets.mn @lauragmitchell.com

We don't know that Posty's NOT riding @biketownpdx.bsky.social to his sold out show with @jellyroll-615.bsky.social at Providence Park on Saturday.

Portlanders watching Seattle announce growth of 20,000 more residents this year alone

I still think we under discuss how vastly different the relationship people who don’t/can’t access a car have with their city and the political outcomes that has.

Damn it shouldn’t be crazy but it’s crazy Mamdani won the NYC Dem primary. It’s pretty inspiring

I’m all for what it says, but…

I don’t know whose bike this is: but I approve

Never underestimate what you can do with a street and a few good kegs #pdx

Something I’m enjoying seeing more: bikes in local Portland media for something that’s not explicitly for bikes.

We had live music in the plaza during Bike Happy Hour last night and it was magical. This is what’s possible when community, cool business owners, & good city policy are in complete unison. Thank you @pbotinfo.bsky.social for the plaza, Gorges Beer Co, and Jangano Marimba for the music!

Those darn scooters

“We needed to create a stir to get some change, to get them [city council] to fund us back up. And I mean, that’s the honest truth. I know, that could make things more dangerous. I don’t know. But at the same time, we needed some change.” Incredible reporting from @bikeportland.org

This banner on this random subpage for the Rose Festival has *literally* made my day

Don’t forget to get your designs in🚲❤️ @pbotinfo.bsky.social @multcolib.bsky.social

@humantransit.bsky.social maybe you can help me here: but everytime I stumble into the Trimet updated routes for the Forward Together: I feel like the linetypes need to be swapped: dashed for existing, continuous for proposed... trimet.org/betterbus/se...

The McMenamins Kennedy School Pool was noticeably absent here @wweek.com 🧐

lol why am I in a Willamette Week poll for the best political figure in Portland but the only other options are white men? How did they narrow this list down? bop.wweek.com/people/best-...

Please vote for Angelita I personally need her to beat these men so I can sleep at night

Streets for people, not cars! We're set up at Sunday Parkways! Come say hi! @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social @pbotinfo.bsky.social
