The next Portland World Naked Bike Ride will happen on Saturday, Aug. 12. Riders will gather at 7:30 p.m. and the ride will start at sunset. The exact route will be announced closer to the event. The WNBR brings awareness to bicyclist safety and pollution. Organizers described it as a “lighthearted protest against dependency on oil.” Clothing is optional but shoes and helmets are still recommended for the ride.

“As a reporter, my job has changed a lot in the last five years, but telling readable, entertaining stories remains my goal. I believe: 1. Local news carries as much weight as national news. 2. News should be like a utility. We would complain if our drinking water was brown, our Wi-Fi was spotty, or our electricity kept going out. So, we need to know our news sources are legitimate and factual, rather than being a patchwork of friends’ opinions on social media. 3. And finally, you gets what you pays for.  Also, as a volunteer, I produce and present Art Focus on KBOO radio 90.7 FM as my way of keeping visual arts coverage alive.
