Eva Frazier and I (Jonathan Maus) are back with another bit of banter from The BikePortland Shed.

Learn how Eva's Garden Bike Tour in the heat wave turned out, what I thought of Bike Play, why I'll miss all the Bike Summer rides this weekend (basketball!), what happened on City Cast PDX podcast today, why someone is really mad at Thursday Night Ride, the difference between a nice honk and a jerk honk, and much more.

WTH did Commissioner Mapps say? Why does Jonathan always have a different coach in the Shed? How's Eva's Spanish class going and what is she doing to prevent insects from destroying her backyard cherry crop? Bleeps and Bloops and what now? What happened to that guy who was protesting BikePortland at Bike Happy Hour this past week?

You'll find the answers to all these questions at more in this episode. 🤣🤣

Marshall Runkel is a Portland city hall veteran who has worked for three former city commissioners, most recently Commissioner Chloe Eudaly. He announced his bid for Portland mayor last week and visited the BikePortland Shed for his first in-depth interview on Friday, June 14th.

Marshall and BikePortland Founder/Editor/Publisher Jonathan Maus talked about Marshall's approach to politics, his love of riding the bus, how he rode with Critical Mass as an advisory for Commissioner Erik Sten in the early 2000s, his experience working on housing and homelessness issues, how he will use his work experience in the clean energy sector to help Portland, why he loves the Portland Trail Blazers and wants to bring a WNBA team here, and much more!
