PORTLAND, Ore. – So, some out-of-towners think they can come to Portland and tell us a thing or two about Bikes and Beer. Well, Portland, wisely, rolled out the welcome mat for another great bicycle party hosted by New Belgium Brewing Company. Tom McCall Waterfront Park made a great location for the festivities, which benefited the Bicycle Transportation Alliance and the Portland United Mountain Pedalers.

The Quickening Aug 18, 2006

Show notes

ALBANY, Ore.- I won't tell you too much about this intriguing 24-hour event taking place down road from Portland this Saturday because maybe YOU should not go. Judging from the video I "stole" from their website daggerattack.com, the Quickening is an underground cycling frenzy shrouded in dark mystery. I do know there will be hard rock bands, freaky bikes, and perhaps even blood sacrifice. Consider yourself warned.
So... if you are too scared of all that you can stick around stumptown and buy me a pint of Fat Tire at Tour de Fat, Saturday (video coming soon).

Portland Police and Zoobombers Team Up for Music Video Aug 04, 2006

Show notes

Zoobomb is a weekly bike event in Portland. Zoobombers take the light rail to the Washington Park Zoo and "bomb" down through the Arlington Heights neighborhood on various types of bicycles - especially mini-bikes. Zoobombers also take on the daring descent of Hwy 26 (a freeway section where bicycles are allowed). After a bomber wiped-out on Hwy 26, aka Hellway, Portland Police felt the need to check up on these bicycling insurgents and here is some of the video they captured set to the Rebel's Original "Rock Rebel Rock".

Going on a Naked Bike Ride Aug 04, 2006

Show notes

Portland, Ore. --- Hundreds of cyclists going as bare as they dared swarmed the streets of Portland June 10 for the largest naked bike ride in North America. As many as 500 nude or nearly nude cyclists rode for two and a half hours circling downtown to the cheers and jeers of spectators, motorists, and passersby. This year also marked the debut of Portland's first daytime naked bike ride, which culminated in a group photo shot in the lovely Ladd's Addition rose garden. Warning: This video contains nudity.
