The entire park will be closed in the beginning of March until November for Phase 2 which is includes major facility upgrades as well as improvements for off road cycling and pedestrian use. Since this park is right off the 205 bike path I know some of your listeners would probably be interested in learning more about what is happening.

At long last, we reach the 500th episode of our show, and bring it to you for your enjoyment. For this momentous occasion, we invited long-time conspirator and friend of the show, Tim Mooney (whose voice is briefly heard on our program nearly weekly), to join. We love the fact that we can have long conversations about things other than bikes, and in this episode discuss the long arc of history as it pertains to simplifying the good life, with a little mention to bikes towards the end. Stay tuned for a fitting end-of-Monty-Python-and-the-Search-For-The-Holy-Grail-esque ending, perfectly in tune with the history of the show. Also featured: executive producer Brock Dittus, a call-in from founding cohost Brandon Rhodes, and perennial hosts Aaron Flores & Guthrie Straw. Thank you for listening!

Welcome to another rebroadcast as our hosts take some time off for the holidays. See you with another studio show soon! Team Grilled By Bike. The Oregon Outback. What more needs to be said? Eric, JP, Eilif, & Ross party responsibly across the uninhabited lands of eastern Oregon, encountering mud, rain, fallen trees, and windfall burn barrels, while engaging in the throwing of sharp implements and the playing of table tennis. How did it go down? They tell us. Find Grilled By Bike on instagram. For field audio of the adventure produced by Eric Ivy, listen to: E261b Pt.1 Team Grilled By Bike: Exploring Unsharted Territory – The intrepid crew rides out of Klamath, plays some ping pong, watches a thunderstorm, chops down trees, interviews other bikepackers, and hangs out in a bike shop. E261c – Pt.2 Team Grilled By Bike: Exploring Unsharted Territory – The crew interviews a long-time bikepacker, plays some more ping pong, throws the tomahawk, hangs around a campfire with some other Outback riders, and makes banana boats. E261d – Pt.3 Team Grilled By Bike: Exploring Unsharted Territory – The crew eats all the queso, finds the endpoint at the Columbia River, talks to more bikepackers, makes camp one last time, and Eric returns to Portland with the record button still activated to talk to even more people.

Great job Mo! #WEARETNR Episode500attnr” – TJ Baxter Re: EP492 (How Oregon Got The Idaho Stop Law with Ray & Bjorn) “I’m not sure about Oregon laws but they sure are different in Texas. We have nothing in our laws about impeding speed. Basically, if the lane is larger than 14” (I think), you have to ride as far to the right as practicable (which is subjective with debris and cracks). If the lane is smaller than 14”, you can take the lane. Speed is not a factor.” – Richard Wezensky “Impeding speed doesn’t appear to be a factor in Florida either. In Daytona Beach, the Florida Department of Transportation has installed “Bike May Use Full Lane” signs on one 6-lane arterial (Nova Rd) which has a speed limit of 50 mph. I’ve never seen anyone ride in this lane, there is an adjacent narrow sidewalk with the right-of-way for a shared-use path upgrade. It’s also a shame because I would love BMUFL signs on many of the narrow two-lane, no shoulder, 25 mph roads in the city so that people behind would chill out when I take the lane.” – Jason Aufdenberg From J.

I have a question though… During your Calendar segment you always mention various Bike Parties throughout the country. Thanks for that! But why no mention of San Jose Bike Party? SJBP is the original bike party that started in October 2010. It also boasts the largest monthly ridership of the various Bike Parties by far.

Last week was the Thanksgiving holiday and the guys took a week out of the studio. Until the next new show, we’re sharing this piece about gastrointestinal troubles and bicycle commutes featuring Aaron & producer Brock from 2014. Some of you may have heard about Aaron’s recent injury (he’s OK!) – don’t worry, we’ll fill you in with the next show. Thank you for listening! Brock gets into a predicament and can’t make it into the studio. This is an explanation of the predicament. What happens when you can’t find a bathroom? And are there any lessons to be learned from such an experience? note: those sensitive to conversation about bodily functions may wish to bypass this episode, as it contains many references to such.

Aaron, Guthrie, and friends spent this weekend doing the Crater Lake rim ride in southern Oregon – they’ll share details of that trip later, and in honor of this we present Aaron’s first appearance on the podcast from 2011 in which he, producer Brock, and Adele share their thoughts on their grueling 2011 tour to the same place. See you next week for a new studio show! This week we speak with Team Sincerity, the group of people who climbed several mountains with bikes and kids to get to Crater Lake, and all in the name of good fun. Aaron Flores & Adele Dittus join us in studio, and Adam & Jodie Rust phone from Seattle. We discuss: beer, soda, and pigeonholing, the origin of Team Sincerity, Warmshowers.org hosts Roger & May, road magic and generosity at Hobo Camp/Club Hobo, sickness and the hill climb from hell, Xanterra’s poor customer service, and many other things. UPDATE 9/29/11: Photos from the trip, which should have been shared some time back!.

We talk comparative city life quality, regional disasters, and also talk shop about what one might do with their hair after a bicycle commute (Adele joins us by phone to clear up some thoughts that two dudes don’t have the experience to comment on). Also: Aaron’s Mom also joins us! Aaron took Anna and his mom to the Oregon Aquarium.

Scott Batchelar is a staple of bike fun organizing in Portland, Oregon and dedicates himself to well-planned rides with safety around the logistics and fun at the heart of it all. We invite him into the studio to share some of his ideas on the history and future of bike fun, what makes a good ride, and what he’ll be leading during this year’s month of bike fun, Pedalpalooza.
