Dear Scandinavia: You Get It
Seen at a Statoil station in Denmark:
“Dear Cyclist,
You can care for your bicycle here. You can pump and wash your bicycle and, inside the shop, you’re welcome to borrow a free bicycle care kit with oil, tire levers, allen keys, etc.
Enjoy.
Statoil”

Biking to Work is Sexy
Hot. Just another reason to get on your bike.

Scraper Bikes
Finally saw it on the big screen. All I have to say is, the power of the bicycle is a beautiful thing.

Bike Graffiti
A cold winter day. An escape to a bigger city. A friendly reminder of what transportation I should have taken, or wished I could have taken.
I start to dream. Of adventures and excursions one could take on two wheels. The places that could be explored. The miles that could be covered.
The ferry bell rings. Passengers scurry back to their cars. If only we were all on bikes.
Bike Lane Love
Sometimes morning rides to the coffee shop are a good reminder why Portland is wonderful. Bikes = love.
Bikes: Sweden Gets It
The “No Ridiculous Car Trips” campaign in Malmö. Smart. American cities: take note.

Looking Forward to… Artcrank PDX

Artcrank hits Portland tomorrow. Bike and art lovers unite! The poster show has been making its way around the world this summer, and it’s yet another example of how bike culture is growing more and more popular; which is great for those of us that believe in getting more people on bikes and supporting cities that believe in investing in infrastructure that supports life on two wheels.
I Love Bikes… and Europe
Love, love, love… and the scheming to move to Scandinavia continues (even if only in my mind).

Words to Live By: Bikes
“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.” – Arthur Conan Doyle

Friday Photo: Epic Wheels
The Portland bike community never ceases to inspire me. Last night Epic Wheel Works hosted their one-year anniversary party, the bike throwdown and benefit for the Bicycle Transportation Alliance that was one big get together of bike enthusiasts and people that believe in making their community a better place.
I’ve got to give it to Jude, founder of Epic, who truly believes in the idea that bikes can make the world a better place, and as she puts it, she’s making positive chance “one revolution at a time.” That and her wheels are simply works of art. If that doesn’t inspire you to go hop on your bike, I don’t know what will.
