“Portland doesn’t have the same level nightlife of San Francisco, so they tend to make their own fun here, and the result seems to be a large community of bicyclists that has become very engaged with the struggle for street equity.”
–SF Bay Guardian reporter Steve Jones, after a ride in Portland
Steven T. Jones is a city beat reporter with the San Francisco Bay Guardian who recently got a dose of Portland bike culture.
Jones was sent here cover the Toward Carfree Cities Conference, but he ended up experiencing much more and has shared his thoughts in an article titled, From geeks to freaks, a look at Portland bicycle culture.
During a mobile workshop on the last day of the conference he joined the Transportation Geeks Ride to get a look at Portland’s innovative bike facilities and wallow in what he calls “transportation geekspeak”.
