Photo from http://www.bikeportland.org/This article posted on bikeportland.org yesterday seems like the perfect snapshot of what makes Portland such an awesome city. According to the article, Dan Sloan has decided to offer "free bike help and advice" on the corner of N. Cook and Williams streets. Why? Because he "just wants to do something good for people" and he feels like sharing his knowledge on bikes is a way to do that.
Dan is sort of a guerrilla volunteer. He found a way to help others while doing something he loved, but he didn't wait around for an agency to have a volunteer position that fit, he just went out and made his own! If you happen to bike (or even drive) by Dan's bike help corner, take a minute to thank him for his efforts and volunteer spirit!
