Hey, remember when a buncha protestors disrupted a BikePortland Happy Hour interview with the Mayor of Portland a month ago? And the Mayor was disgusted and left because the disruptors wouldn’t shut up and let the interview proceed?
Well, apparently BikePortland has decided “If you can’t beat ‘em, host ‘em” and tonight the anti-ICE protestors are returning to Bike Happy Hour to give a teach-in on How To Protest, or something like that.
I haven’t returned to Bike Happy Hour since that debacle with the Mayor. And I’m busy tonight — Yom Kippur starts at sunset — so I’ll be skipping this one, too. But honestly, even without a solemn holy day on my calendar I’d probably have skipped this anyway. Color me skeptical.
Happy riding.
UPDATE, 10/2/25: Here's a link to the story at BikePortland, including linkage to videos and some interesting comments. I'll let you be the judge as to how useful and productive this was, and for whom.
