Once again smirk uses the word "macho" when she's referring to people who can ride bikes faster than her.

In what would otherwise be an interesting piece on bike cops, she interjects a useless opinion about the relative masculinity of two types of bike frames. Showing once again her lack of knowledge on the topic she talks about.

If you want to see a truly macho bike rider: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wb8bAl1P-N0/SaaY…

And for the record, anyone who can off-road a mile, drop a cardboard man in a hail of gunfire AND obey traffic laws is pretty macho in my book.

At first I thought they had missed the target completely since the bullets seemed to be hitting the dirt behind the target, but that isn't actually that bad.

Good on the cops for letting you tag along with a video camera. That footage was great.

I had the opportunity to meet Officer Pickett at last Sunday's Parkways while I was tabling to Stop the CRC. I have to say, he's an unbelievably kind, compassionate and dedicated public servant.

I'm very happy to have him patrolling Portland's streets and wish him well with the expected expansion of his family!
