General Discussion / Portland's Agony
« on: May 01, 2008, 05:43:17 pm »
I'd love to hear what people have to say about the article by John Schubert and the retort by Roger Geller.
While generally I consider myself a vehicular cyclist and feel like I understand John's arguments - after having seen the bike culture and energy in Portland and hearing the hard-to-argue-with data, I take the side of Geller and I would encourage John to visit Portland. It is truly incredible what is happening in Portland and I'm so happy that I live close enough to be able to ride there once in a while. I believe the numbers will continue to grow in favor of cycling and I'd bet the crash data continues to show a safer and more comfortable place to bike for everyone.
