I already did a story, video and photo gallery from the World Day of Remembrance event that took place in front of Portland City HAll this past Sunday, but there were some things said by incoming city council members and by a Portland Bureau of Transportation staffer that I really wanted to underscore.
This episode includes audio clips from four speakers at that event with my takeaways interspersed in between.

Notable bike bus leader and co-founder of nonprofit Bike Bus World Sam "Coach" Balto is our guest this episode. He and BikePortland's Jonathan Maus talked all things bike bus, including: Sam's motivation to get into this work, how his background as a camp counselor is such an asset to leading kids on bike rides, barriers faced by some bike bus leaders, how to respond to concerns about equity, the path toward bike bus global domination, and more.

Eva Frazier and Jonathan Maus are back with another fun and illuminating weekly chat. This week:
Thanks for listening!
We need more butts on bikes! It's a big problem that folks aren't seeing our bike lanes full of happy people cycling. Eva Frazier and I (Jonathan Maus) get into how we can get folks to stop driving so much and several other topics in this week's episode.
The "How'd She Get There?" segment is all about NoPo and Kelley Point Park. And Eva and I share what type of rainy weather rider we are.
Thanks for listening!
*Note: The audio on this episode sounds different than usual because I'm exploring wireless mics to make the chats in The Shed more comfortable. Thanks for your patience as I iron out various audio/visual issues in our new recording space!*
Eva Frazier and I (Jonathan Maus) are back on our Friday thing. I tried to stump Eva with a route and we had fun talking about the best way to get from Slabtown (NW 21st and Thurman) to Lone Fir Cemetery (SE Stark and 22nd or so).
We also talked about a disturbing set of videos I've received from someone who lives on NE Glisan and documented Monday's fatal collision in addition to many others of drivers behaving badly on that same few blocks.
What will it take to get drivers and the general public to wake the-fuck up about the need to drive safely?
And we share the lowdown on some fun and spooky Halloween-themed rides this weekend and on Hallow's Eve Thursday.
Have a great weekend and we'll see you back here next week.
If you are filling out your ballot this week and want some help getting to know the candidates, here's all the BikePortland election coverage so far.
Welcome to Ballot Banter! A new series where we talk about each city council district (and the Mayor's race) in depth with me, your BikePortland Podcast host Jonathan Maus, and a special guest.
For District 3, I welcomed none other than author, CEO, bike planner, and community leader Mia Birk into the Shed. Mia put Portland on the map as a cycling city with her work at the City of Portland in the 1990s, then went on to found Alta Planning, Alta Bike Share and now works as coach and consultant for founders. Mia has lived in D3 for over 30 years.
Mia is also part of 12 For PDX, a group of advocates who vetted city council candidates and produced a voters guide and made endorsements that appear in the official Multnomah County Voters Pamphlet. Mia and I talked about all the viable candidates in D3 and she shared who they endorsed in the race.
