Mastodawn

seriously do I know anybody who wants a madsen because I really want to try one but don't have anywhere to keep it. 9sp narrow drivetrain and no gmac thru-axle hub motor is kinda putting a damper on that idea for this part of town (besides that my kids are too big for bucket, so the back seat would be a project.) #pdxBikes

#30daysOfBiking Could we ever just tell cars to turn around / go away, instead of leaving a narrow residential street open to thru traffic during construction? (Chestnut winds down the hill off the end of this stretch of Vermont.) This street shouldn't even be open to thru traffic when it's not torn up and covered with steel plates. #Portland has cars for brains, bankrupting the city and saddling future generations with debt because of it. #pdxBikes #ClimateDenial #transportation #CarSupremacy

Imagine if drivers had to be like, "man, if you're going to drive to Beaverton, watch out for that property owner(s) that will try to slash you in the face with their thorny blackberry vines while you're doing 30mph around the curve down #bhHwy westbound of Dosch" #BikeTooter #Portland #pdxBikes

whoooo will cut the laurel hedges out of the bike lane on the property belonging to... [checks notes] CITY OF #PORTLAND? 🙃 #pdxReporter trackit 2956971
✅ got guardrail to keep drivers from flying into ravine ✔️
❌ physically prevent car/drivers from killing people on bikes 🙅 #pdxBikes

#30daysOfBiking I took the #umbrellaBike from Hillsdale to Beaverton and the passenger from Beaverton to the craft store to Hillsdale. It was misty, but not really raining until the return trip and then it finished before we got home. #cargoBikes #eBikes #pdxBikes #pdxTST

#30daysOfBiking I rode a stretch of my local bike lane along the parkway to make sure it was clear of any branches that fell in the rain, but it looks like Michael went this way with the @bikeloudpdx sweeper trike on the way to ladds500 and left nothing but brush strokes #pdxBikes

I guess they've actually closed Ladd Circle to cars for this year's #Ladds500 #pdxBikes, legit permit and everything (not like you could get in the endless parade of people on bikes with the right-of-way.)

#30daysOfBiking I took ole Speedy the #3speed up a hill to see some #gravel and would've gotten a picture with Mt Hood if not for the trees and clouds that just rolled in. #pdxTST #pdxBikes #BikeTooter #BikeNite A8

I would rather we had working elevators and correctly designed stair runnels, but at least it's named for a dead politician who always put cars first (let's rename Barbur Blvd after him too.) #pdxBikes

Elevator closures on Bob Stacey Crossing frustrate users, while PBOT seeks funding for fixes

Beyond more security patrols, long-term fixes would take funding the city says they don't have.

#30daysOfBiking not very far today but 30 yards of Laurel laying. IDK if you can even tell I cut on this for 15min #pdxBikes
