Portland's first-ever, large-scale carfree event -- Sunday Parkways -- brought neighbors and communities together in the thousands! It was a major success and a historic event for Portland.
When buses, trains and bikes share the road, it's even more important to practice safe driving and safe riding. Cyclists can help by following a few simple "rules of the road."
I did a little ride with Gil Penalosa on Portland's Eastbank Esplanade. Penalosa is a world-reknowned expert on creating livable cities and is the executive director of a canada-based non-profit, Walk and Bike For Life.
In this video, he shares his thoughts on the Esplanade and on how bikes and pedestrians should interact.
Nine months after Tracey Sparling died at the intersection of W. Burnside and 14th in downtown Portland, the City has installed a bike box at the same location.
It's like Critical Mass but without the attitude or the age! A bunch of families turned out for Portland's first big Kidical Mass ride.
We rode through downtown (even crossed the most dangerous street in the city!) and then had ice cream afterwards (of course).
