Bike Master Plan Funding Cut?

According to BikePortland.org

Last year, Transportation Commissioner Sam Adams received $50,000 to fund the first stages of Portland’s Bicycle Master Plan Update process. But this year, Adams’ office was surprised to see that the Mayor has decided to not continue funding this project.

I find this extremely unfortunate. I sent an email to the Mayor’s Public Advocate, Jeremy Van Keuren at jvankeuren@ci.portland.or.us

Please pass onto the Mayor my concern that funding the Bicycle Master Plan is extremely important to the City of Portland. Discontinuing his part of the budget would be a major setback for the future and safety of Portland and the success of it’s world leading alternative transportation goals.

Johnathon dropped this in my inbox this afternoon. Filmed in London, all the audio is made from recorded bike and inline skate sounds. This was screened at Portland’s Filmed by Bike this week as well.

As you might know I’m a sucker for American Idol for me it’s much like some evil bad habbit that isn’t easy to keep a secret. Sometimes it makes me feel dirty but I can’t keep away from it. Check this dude out from France.
