StreetFilms-Portland: Bicycle Boulevards

Bicycle Boulevards in Portland are a thing of beauty, safety, and tranquility. They are also wonderful streets to live on. Mia Birk, former manager of City of Portland's Bicycle Program (1993-99), and Mark Lear of the Portland Office of Transportation explain a few of the many strategies employed to keep thru traffic off the boulevards and to make the riders using them safe.

@johnrbe What's wrong with rain? It's natural, cooling in the heat, and it doesn't hurt.

@ichbineintoober Scooters are not allowed. Mopeds can only be ridden on the bike lane if you're pedaling. Electric bikes are fine.

We have more bikes than LA and NY combined. Because we know what's good for us. We also have some of the cleanest, best tasting restaurants in the country. We have more trees and green than anywhere else, and nowhere NEAR as much garbage. Us Portlanders know how to treat our city right. We also recycle the most out of any other city, as well.
