Hey! Our annual bike issue hits the streets tomorrow and I was annoying everyone by chortling while looking over the final edits. How could I not, when it’s packed with photos (like this one) by Robbie Augspurger?

Also, a heads up that we’re hosting a party to celebrate the release of the issue and the start of Portland all-free, all-ridiculous bike festival Pedalpalooza. Come out to Hollywood this Thursday evening to new bike shop Velo Cult for beer and great people.

Sarah Shay Mirk reported on transportation, sex and gender issues, and politics at the Mercury from 2008-2013. They have gone on to make many things, including countless comics and several books.

  1. I think it’s disgraceful that you’re making a bad example, with no regard for the safety of your readers. That cyclist should clearly be wearing a seatbelt.

  2. “When I creep up on a bicycle to pass by slowly, it isn’t because I’m being cautious of the cyclists safety. I’m checking out those fine cyclist butts.”

  3. A book that large makes a fine cushion for the head in case of a fall, flip it open to the middle section for full impact-dampening effect (and blood-absorption).

  4. This Kickoff Party is the destination for Pedalpalooza’s traditional Kickoff Ride. This year, the Kickoff Ride leaves from the South Park Blocks (SW Park and Montgomery) at 6pm.
