Sure I do know it’s a vacation week and plenty of of us aren’t on their common routines. But when there’s one factor I need folks to learn about Bike Glad Hour, it’s that it by no means takes per week off. We’re positively getting collectively this Wednesday from 3:00 to six:00 pm at our new location (Migration Brewing on N Williams Ave) and I’ve made it a bit extra particular with particular visitor audio system and a free raffle.
First, I’m excited to share we’ll be joined by District 1 (East) Councilor-elect Jamie Dunphy. Jamie, 40, is a authorities relations director for the American Most cancers Society. He isn’t an enormous bike rider and isn’t what I’d name a biking advocate, however I’m certain he’d help insurance policies to make biking higher. His ardour is within the music scene. The way in which he talks about constructing consciousness and energy for that scene is just like how many people like to speak concerning the native bike scene. He likes to stroll his daughter to highschool within the Parkrose neighborhood. This will likely be Jamie’s first time at BHH, so let’s welcome him into our neighborhood with open arms.
District 2 (North/Northeast) candidate Marnie Glickman didn’t get a seat on council this time, however she’s persevering with to make her voice identified on-line and off. As our ride-along interview and dialog on the podcast, Marnie will get it on the subject of how biking can match into our transportation system. She attended the current World Day of Remembrance occasion at Metropolis Corridor and I’ve observed her posting on Bluesky about desirous to be a frontrunner locally.
Jamie and Marnie will likely be on the mic round 5:00 pm. If anybody else has one thing to share, the mic is open. Simply present up and seize it.
After open mic we’ll have a prize raffle that includes superior stuff from: River Metropolis Bicycles, Showers Move, Portland Design Works, Journey Biking, and HGNR (U.S. distributors for Dumonde Tech chain lube). The raffle will likely be free to enter. Simply come out and also you’ll have an opportunity to win.
And have I discussed Migration has agreed to $5 pints for our group? That’s $2-3 bucks off the standard value.
