Portland Pedals

Since 1995, Bicycling magazine has listed Portland, Oregon as the most cyclist-friendly in the US. There are bike lanes all over the place, plus tons of street parking and racks; motorists seem both aware and respectful of cyclists. The numerous bike shops cater to a huge diversity of cyclists, their bikes and needs. There’s the Community Cycling Center, bike-themed restaurants and an obvious commitment to the long-term health and vibrancy of this city and surrounding areas. Oh yeah, and Chris King is located here; say no more.

Here are a few places I’ve checked out and would recommend if you’re ever in Portland.
