Newly hired president of Portland State University Wim Wiewel will join the throngs of downtown bike commuters tomorrow when he reports for his first day on the job. Wiewel will join Commissioner (and Mayor-elect) Sam Adams on the ride and a small reception will follow in the South Park Blocks.

Wiewel hails from the bike mecca of Amsterdam and his office says he is doing the ride in part to “promote and emphasize the alternative transportation research goes on here at PSU.”

More than half of PSU students, faculty, and staff ride their bikes, walk, or take alternative transportation to campus.  That is made easier by the fact that PSU is in the heart of Portland's thriving downtown.
