Back on a bike.....sort of. Trying to catch my brother-in-law and his grandson as they ride around the neighborhood. Dave is pedaling, the grandson being towed in a trailer. They were moving fast! They had a few blocks head start as I grabbed a helmet. By the time I got to the street, they were no where in sight!
As I was looking in likely locations for them I came across this sign.
It cites Oregon Revised Statute 105.682 saying that the city isn't responsible for injuries or property damage. Not to burst their bubble, but I spend significant time in public sector training. The Recreational Immunity protections cited for public entities was made pretty much worthless by a recent court ruling that found that while you may not sue the agency for mess ups that cause injury, you may sue the publicly employed worker who caused the issue. Oregon law requires public agencies to indemnify their workers who are sued while performing acts within their scope of duties. So.......... nice try Wilsonville, you may say you aren't responsible for damages, but you ARE responsible for your employees, who may be sued for damages while working for you.
Back to my search, it took a phone call to coordinate, but I eventually found them.

I joined them, sharing horn toots with the grandchild. He had a bulb horn at his disposal, that made a similar sound the the toy horn I've got on the fixed gear bike. We traded horn toots back and forth, amusing both us big kids, and the pedestrians we passed by.
A short, but good day in the sunshine!
