		<title>Low point</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Portland has now approved a plan aiming to bring bicycle trips up to 25% of all trips in town by 2030. Science fiction date huh? Remember 1990? Some habitual drivers assert that this is simply unrealistic in a wet city with quite a few normal people, as if most of Portland wasn&#8217;t in fact developed, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve only ever been to Amsterdam in the cold, gray months. Seeing this clip a few days ago of the utter normalcy of biking there made me remember, and smile. The man behind the camera is William Hsu, from My Dutch Bike in San Francisco, there to immerse himself in the supply side. Via Amsterdamize.

		<title>Haiti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: Many thanks to our customers over the last 4 rainy January days who mentioned our 10% Haiti relief program, and to those who decided not to delay a purchase upon hearing of it. Thanks to your generosity, we are donating over $1300 to Mercy Corps.

I listened sleepless to the radio in the wee hours [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who rides a WorkCycles city bike?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WorkCycles is an Amsterdam company founded by Brooklyn-born Henry Cutler. To date, Henry has exported nearly all of the Dutch bicycles we&#8217;ve introduced to Portland, including the conspicuous Bakfiets Cargobike, but also a &#8220;Classic&#8221; series of city bikes. These are the finest examples of their type, a rarity in North America but the very soul [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who rides a Brompton?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are proud to have introduced Brompton folding bikes to Portland on the day we opened, having used them ourselves for nearly a decade. They are the single most common riding choice of our shop&#8217;s four partners, even when no folding will be necessary. We&#8217;ve since carried two other folding bike brands, but stopped after [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wood heat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Fall we installed a wood stove in our home, and turned off the furnace. Yesterday, we lit it again, and broke out the long merino underwear. Both will remain in more or less steady use through May. Honestly, we missed the pleasures of the stove even in July.

This stove, about 500 pounds of handsome [...]]]></description>

		<title>Three summers in two years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We opened in June 2007. Since then we&#8217;ve not just survived, but expanded, and are proud to have helped stoke an explosion of interest in biking beyond the sport and leisure categories. 

   The pre-established &#8220;commuter&#8221; bike category, defined as dorkified sport bikes at vandal-ready price points, has proven to be too narrow, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bike camping at Stub Stewart State Park with kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, the first truly great weather of the year here in Portland, we took a  bike ride. Yes, a recreational jaunt, not something we often manage. We rode from our door to MAX light rail, took it to the end of the line west, continued through farmland and forest 22 miles to Stub [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new sobriety</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Via Copenhagenize &#8212; too good not to share! Art by Nick Dewar.

I&#8217;ve long loved the ephemeral art of the period between the first and second world wars, particularly Europe&#8217;s constructivist and the United States&#8217; Works Progress Administration related work. With a deepening world economic chasm opening, and President-Elect Obama&#8217;s likely stimulus scope beginning to resemble [...]]]></description>
