A big 📣 shout out 📣 to @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social volunteers that have been running THREE bike lane sweepers! The bike commute had been difficult with the atmospheric river combined with the fallen leaves. Yesterday's bike ride was much safer! Thank you volunteers! 💙🧡🚲🧹

Every last piece of transit & bike infrastructure seems to need to go thru "The Populist Playbook". Scare, complain, reject; rinse, wash, repeat. All the while the things we really should fear — generational poverty, climate chaos, species extinction — continue on.

People who attended Friday's @trimet.org board meeting to beg for bus lanes on 82nd learned that TriMet HQ doesn’t have any bike parking on its block -- but it does have 5 stories of parking above it if you drive a car. #motornomativity Photos @binnig.bsky.social & @aaronkuehn.bsky.social

Food pantry ride today, Sat Nov 8! The need will be on-going. If you are able, regularly help to restock your local food pantry and help to alleviate hunger in your neighborhood. Map of local PDX food pantries here: bsky.app/profile/laur...

Science has some answers about why we ❤️ biking! Fall in love with biking this fall! ❤️🚲🍁

BikeLoud filed our lawsuit in 2022. Our Board & pro bono lawyers spent 100s of hours to craft a settlement w PBOT. We're not asking for much. We're not making any money. We just want to make biking better for schoolkids + bike access to small businesses. Still waiting @portlandcouncil.bsky.social

Best way to take NYC future Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to the polls? A cargo bike of course!

Sneaking this in before your feeds are flooded with election results. Portland City Council approves lots of legal settlements, but councilors were skeptical of this $6 million agreement — the result of a 2022 lawsuit over Portland’s adherence to the Oregon Bike Bill. What happens next is unclear.

PDX has a generational opportunity to rebuild NE 82nd into a delightful street that supports people walking, taking the bus, biking, driving, making deliveries, gathering outside. So far the designs we're seeing aren't rising to this opportunity. Really hope you can help @senkhanhpham.bsky.social!

Sources (me) say yes Going on 17 years now. It’s more bikeable IMO than walkable

An essential function of government should not be to make cars more affordable, but instead our governments should focus on making a good life possible without a car.

Have you tried the new protected bike lanes downtown on SW 4th Ave? Do they make your whole trip by bike better? @pbotinfo.bsky.social would probably love to hear from you!

Portland's ruling class has a bizarre theory that the way to revitalize troubled locations is to remove seating, bathrooms, and open spaces, then add boulders and hideous fencing. You see it at Central Library, Firefighter Memorial, etc. Meanwhile in Europe...

Many thanks to @enobacon.urbanists.social.ap.brid.gy and other volunteers for repeatedly using the @bikeloudpdx.bsky.social bike lane sweeper to clear the car sewer... er, painted bike lanes!

Did you know BikeLoud owns THREE bike lane sweepers? Did you know you can borrow a sweeper from us after learning to use it? It's 🍁🍂 season. Wet leaves in bike lanes cause bikes to skid out. Our volunteers step in & help out! Learn more on Slack (+please support BikeLoud). bikeloudpdx.org/action2/

💔For every traffic fatality there are at least 10x that many victims of traffic violence who have life altering injuries, economic impacts, trauma. We can't police our way out of this violence. We can however, as a community, decide to invest in making streets that improve the quality of our lives.

💔💔💔How heartbreaking. Thank you for your leadership @councilordunphy.bsky.social We can't police our way out of traffic violence. Nor can we lay the burden of road safety only on individuals. We can choose to take action as a community and build a transportation system that supports everyday life.

No witches expected this Halloween on the Willamette - but expect to see lots of magical Portland people this Halloween on bikes! 🚲🎃🧹
