Bikes in Portland

I promise, I'll get to the streetcar posts soon. Until then though, here is evidence of the extensive bike ridereship in PDX.

Bike racks are everywhere, and are coordinated with the other street infrastructure. Here are trees and bike racks providing separation from cars, by the Chinese Gardens:

Oh how I love Powells... I hope you had ample time to explore there. Such a great establishment...

Oh, I meant to ask, did you get any snaps of the bike lanes? So cool how the sheer number of available bike lanes...

I did get to browse Powells but it was too big for the short time I had. It had a great vibe though.

I didn't really even notice the bike lanes and no photos of that.
