If you’re looking for a respite from bad news about politics and everything else that’s going wrong, you have come to the right place. This is the home of the mundane. Like blind corners on one of my bike routes along the Albany riverfront.
Cyclist’s death: No criminal case
Written September 24th, 2015 by Hasso Hering

My town bike’s milestone, sort of
Written September 18th, 2015 by Hasso Hering
As far as milestones go, this isn’t all that big. Still, allow me to pause and depart from the regular fare on this site to report that the computer on my town bike hit 13,000 miles this week.
Five bike bills: Who needs them?

Bike/Ped Plan: It’s just words
The Oregon Department of Transportation has come up with the draft of its new Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan, and it has asked for further public comment. To me the plan is similar to the much-ballyhooed Paris climate accord in this respect: Lots of words but no action to bring about a particular result.
