They also recently did a bunch in NE, including Holman and Vancouver, among others. I like 'em.

"Bikeportland Lite" is more boring than Bikeportland. Bring back matt davis.

Wow! Half a million dollars of federal taxpayer money used to paint bicycles on the road! Am I really the only one that thinks this money might have been better spent somewhere else?

I've been seeing the number of runners, walkers, parents with baby carriages, and of course bicyclists, using streets, that were originally designed for cars, as the new sidewalk. Of course, these folks can cross onto the sidewalk anytime they want, but cars must remain on the street. The result is increased stress for the driver that doesn't want to hurt anyone, much less a child that didn't make the choice to get cozy with the tires of a 2 ton vehicle. Stress becomes frustration. Frustration becomes anger. Anger becomes ?

My ex-wife commuted to work on a bicycle for a whole year and as a result was physically assaulted at an intersection while waiting for a red light as well as the usual 20 oz super size drink tossed at her from the window of a moving car. I tried commuting by bike once and had similar annoyances.

I was talking to a clinical psychologist friend over a year ago and she told me that she has been hearing an increase in people expressing anger over bicyclists in this city. I can't imagine these "sharrows" are going to really help.

I'm glad we're not riding bikes on the street anymore.
