Loosely Assembled

The iconic Zoobomb Pile (a.k.a. the “Holy Rack” or the “People’s Bike Library of Greater Portland”) is in for a major change.
Tuesday night, in a rare showing of cohesion, 20 Zoobombers met in a downtown restaurant to discuss potential new locations for the pile and share design ideas and sketches for a new rack to hold their mini-bikes.

Also in attendance was PDOT employee Linda Ginenthal. One of Ginenthal’s roles in the Transportation Options division is to review art racks and make sure they pass city guidelines.

The meeting was called because of pressure from Commissioner Sam Adams. Although Sam has called the Zoobombers, “a Portland institution,” the current pile is not officially sanctioned by the city and it must be moved every 72 hours to avoid being impounded.
