A chance to work on the railroad? That sounds intriguing. Makes you wish you were a lot younger than you probably are.
Several times since 2012, I’ve paid tribute in this space to the late Don Stathos, father of the Oregon Bike Bill. And it’s that time again:
Circumstances kept me off the bike for more than a month. So I was glad to take advantage of the unseasonal sunshine Sunday afternoon by swinging a leg over the top tube and setting off for a little ride.
Turns out that contrary to what it says on Benton County’s project website, we can keep calling the proposed Albany-Corvallis Bikeway by that name or something like it.
Albany’s transportation plan contains proposals for a dozen so-called “bike boulevards” along segments of existing streets. None have been built, but that’s no big deal because bicyclists don’t need them to get around town.
Watching a video on urban planning and transportation the other day, I heard the presenter refer to “bike gutters.” What did he mean?
An odd little law: Unsafe passing a bike
This may be as good a time as any to remind us all about Oregon’s law on how drivers of motor vehicles are supposed to pass people on bicycles.
