There's a wonderful new bike lane down the west side and I know plenty of people who use it for their commutes, but getting cross town is tricky. For me, biking in the city is too much, too nervous-making -- in Philadelphia, I'd bike everywhere and for everything, even food shopping. I think people ride bikes in Portland, but it's true, there's great work to be done in a lot of places!Robin Aronsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080623538120396969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-87429815398684362242010-07-08T22:54:07.908-07:002010-07-08T22:54:07.908-07:00Whoops; just read the article ;) better keep the b...Whoops; just read the article ;) better keep the bus lane for buses only. What is it like biking in NYC? I have never done it but in the comparatively small village I live in now it is the norm. We are considering Portland for a return but then it seems like turning your back when there's so much great change to be a part of elsewhere.Carolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979501558241561585.post-64708642515798377492010-07-08T22:44:53.183-07:002010-07-08T22:44:53.183-07:00Throw in a magic tram or 2 would be nice.
