Sports / Bikes Bike to Blazers Photos!
Posted by Sarah Mirk on Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 11:17 AM
Last night over 100 people turned out to bike to the last Trail Blazers game of the season for a special ride organized by BikePortland.org. In addition to the regular tallbike, cape-draped bikey crew, Blazers VP of business affairs Larry Miller J. Isaacs came along on the ride (see photo of him looking real awkward in a suit and helmet below) to remind everyone that the Rose Garden had just been LEED certified, thanks in part to the 40 percent of fans who get to games by transit, biking or walking. The new Executive Director of the Bicycle Transportation Alliance Rob Sadowsky also turned out to meet people and give a peppy little "Go Blazers!" shout out.
Anyway, check out my photos from the night. Despite it being bike night, the giant Ford blimp still made its coupon-pooping rounds during the game:
