Portland Considered Most Bicycle-Friendly City in North America
For many, Portland is a haven of green-friendly urban planning. It recently topped Popular Science's list of the Greenest Cities in the United States. A big part of that is bikes. Portland is widely considered the most bicycle-friendly city in North America, so much so that bikes are on display throughout the Portland airport. Worldwide, it's seen as only second to Amsterdam. We speak with two local Portland transportation activists. [includes rush transcript]

@jpete3027666 Then you have OBVIOUSLY not looked very hard or at all. Bicyclists have a habit of not paying attention at all and thinking they're a car. They just ride right in front of your car all the damn time. Stop signs apparently mean nothing to bikes right?

I've been to Portland many times and never seen problems with idiot bikers. Maybe you're a shitty driver. Pull your head out of your ass.

@jcpelly Further, look at the comments by the bicycle haters. It is cars that cost society money not bikes. How many times do you see the headline, man run over by bicycle rider, or car crushed uner bicycles wheel. Cars pose the danger to society not bicycles.
