Hey gang,
I know there are several events tonight, but I think this one could be important. Mayor Adams and Amanda Fritz are holding a meeting tonight to discuss the future of Last Thursday, and one of the options is to END THE EVENT. I know that Last Thursday is not a bike-fun event per-se, but it is car-free, so it's at least car-related. It's also, in my mind at least, a prime example of what makes Portland so quirky, weird, spontaneous, so and freakin' cool. I think a strong showing of cyclists would send a good message. Hope to see you all there, and maybe we can all find a spot to partake in the libation of our choice after.
Here are two links to info about the meeting, and there's a post on Bikeportland.org too.
