One year later: A look at the Broadway cycle track
BikePortland.org &bull Sep 2, 2010
When we got our first look at the cycle track on SW Broadway one year ago this week, it was an exciting time. Mayor Adams had fulfilled one of his "100 day" promises and -- after talking about it for nearly four years -- we finally had our first, physically separated bikeway in the central city. Combined with new buffered bike lanes downtown (on Stark and Oak), we were off and running into a bold new era for our bike network. But what's happened since then? Has the cycle track been a… Full Story »

This week's question comes from reader Kinya Hanada. Kinya touches on a question I've wondered myself for several years now.

The second book
Up in Alaska &bull Sep 1, 2010
I've been keeping this blog for nearly five years, and every so often, I create a post that I come precariously close to deleting before I publish it - whether it's too intimate, too "off subject" or too personal. The previous post was one of those. I "wrote" most of it in my head while driving home from Salt Lake City, sleep-deprived and trying to process a swirl of emotions. I tapped it all out after work on Monday, late at night. Then I read it over and decided that I didn't want to publish it. I thought it straddled… Full Story »
