Ready to do something?


You may have heard about some coming to senses by our local politicians. We are naturally thrilled to have all the help we can get, but lets not rest on our laurels. This thing is still costing taxpayers more than a million every month and it will keep costing us lots of money until it is over.

In anticipation of climate talks in Copenhagen this December, a world-wide "350 Campaign" (www.350.org) is hitting the planet THIS SATURDAY - October 24th.

Talking Bicyle Heads Ride


Tonight David Byrne is speaking at the Baghdad Theater on SE 37th and Hawthorne in Portland, Oregon. Its gonna be a uber bike dork extravaganza with Mia Burke, Timo Fosberg, and Jonathan Maus all speaking about their uber dorky bike experiences.

Byrne is pimping his new book Bicycle Diaries. And making the older kids go crazy.

What does this have to do with the Columbia River Crossing? As it turns out Byrne is an outspoken supporter of not spending 4 billion dollars to increase car capacity into the suburbs.

Naturally a bike ride is happening in conjunction.
