It’s a been a very busy and hectic week here on BikePortland.org, so I thought I’d share some lighter fare. There are some things about my job that will never get old and always make me feel great. One of them is seeing lots of bike traffic.

With the complete closure of the Broadway Bridge starting this past Monday, the traffic on the Steel Bridge, the Eastbank Esplanade, and through the Rose Quarter Transit Center has been quite a sight to see. I’ve rolled over there a few times to try and capture it with my camera. The photos don’t really do it justice, but they give you some sense of what’s happening out there.
