Independence Day weekend lives on! 

Join us at Doug Fir tonight for Team Beer Goldsprints (6 socialize, 7 race).  Bring a friend and challenge them to racing (or doing a shooter and then racing).  Here' a music vid from last months races: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ9IXGPYirU

My band CrankMyChain! will be performing the race music (12-second pyscobilly shorts) and then we'll do a set of songs after they announce the winners around 9pm.

Declare your independence!

We got the bike back!!!  Portland friends & press--you guys are amazing! Thank you very much for everything!

The man (Russ Jones) who called us last night, bought the bike outside a pawn shop [on 82nd]. The man who had the bike was intending to sell it to the pawn shop, but the pawn shop was closed. Russ paid $150 for the bike and then a friend of his realized that it was the bike in the paper and he called us right away. The man he bought it from fits the description of the tall homeless man that many people had reported seeing the bike with. The seat is missing  - the bike is in near-perfect shape (just a few slight tweaks that we can fix) - and the contents of Len's bag is missing (pump, helmet, lights, tools, bike shoes, gloves, sunglasses - and most inconveniently - the key to the customized Pinhead Security locking hub skewers (that lock the wheels to the bike) and a few other custom items.

WE are so happy to have the bike back in one piece!

As far as we're concerned, the man who returned the bike to us is a true hero and we are so thankful that he called us!

Thank you all again for making that bike so readily identifiable in Portland--that is what got it back!

When our desire for fuel is the cause of a spill
Then it's time that we find new ways to fill, because

Join us for an "on the ground, first hand" tour of the future North Portland Greenway Trail alignment. We want as many people as possible to join us for this event--especially those who are interested in volunteering to further the project and get it built!

We will meet at the norther terminus of the Eastbank Esplanade where it crosses the railroad. Although the terrain is mostly easy to navigate, there are some rough rocky surfaces so mountain bikes and/or knobby tires strongly encouraged.

We hope to see you there!

Date:	Wednesday, May 19, 2010
Time:	5:30pm - 8:30pm
Location:	45.527991, -122.667236
City/Town:	Portland, OR

We are the goon squad and we're coming to town!
Beep, Beep,

Streetfilms needs spare footage of Pretty people on Pretty bikes in Chic* attire (and that could be YOU). Be a model or just join the ride and enjoy some carfree sweet spots.

We’ll meet at Pioneer Square, which was once a parking garage, and then ride to a handful of these very rare, nearby, carfree locations for some shooting and pontificating.

PLUS, if you can’t make it in person, we’ll be broadcasting the ride live from the Disco Trike to the Internets @ http://www.crankmychain.com/cmc16/live.php

Date/Time: Wednesday, May 5th. We’ll convene around 11:30a and start riding at 12:10p
If it’s actually raining we’ll postpone until the next Wednesday. RSVPs are cool or follow @ Twitter PDXKtv.

Warmest regards,
