Fallen Into Knowledge

“Portland’s mayor is tentatively scheduled to ride with Critical Mass through downtown.
Less than a month on the job, the mayor will be riding with the same bunch of freewheelers who were left feeling dragged through the gear grease by his predecessor.
The monthly bicycle ride is supposed to be a celebration of Portland’s bike culture and a protest of automobile dominance. But former Mayor Vera Katz and the Police Bureau saw it as a public-safety problem, in need of a serious crackdown.
No pedaling violation became too small for the dozen or so motorcycle and bicycle cops who chased the riders monthly. The Critical Mass riders say the constant torrent of tickets is harassment and a waste of limited city money.
Apparently, Potter wants to pedal with the pack and judge for himself.”

This spot marks an absent post. Someone, rightfully, objected to the post, and so I have deleted it. I had offered a link to a new site, Overheard in the Office, which in its first three days looked mighty funny, and so I linked to it so as to share the amusement. However, the quality of the humor, as was noted by the anonymous comment, deteriorated rapidly. I apologize to that reader of this blog, I did not intend to endorse humor that is crude, nor do I endorse such humor.
