🚨 Please note that BikePortland slows down during this time of year as I have family in town and just need a break! Please don't expect typical volume of news stories and content. I'll be back in regular form after the new year. Thanks. - Jonathan 🙏

While Vancouver isn’t the same cycling utopia as Portland; bit by bit, the area is striving to embrace two-wheeled transportation. Those efforts just got a head nod from the Active Living Research (ALR), an organization that promotes walking and biking as means to fight childhood obesity.
In a press release, Clark County Public Health announced it received ALR’s 2012 Translating Research to Policy Award for its Health Impact Assessment (PDF) of the Clark County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The annual award, given to one organization each year, recognizes exceptional use of research in making policies affecting youth physical activity levels, according to ALR Research Coordinator Chad Spoon.

Here’s the news that caught our eyes this past week…
– Riding a bicycle in Los Angeles is a little bit safer now that the city has installed a bright green bike lane in downtown, a treatment made popular here in Portland. And just like Portland, L.A. is having to contend with wet weather. Moist conditions have caused the green paint in their new bike lane to dissolve in many areas.
– If you have doubts about how fun it is to ride in L.A., you should talk to Russ and Laura from The Path Less Pedaled. They took a car-free weekend vacation in Los Angeles and ended up having a great time.
– Tragically, despite how fun it is to ride in L.A., the State of California saw fatalities and injuries from motor vehicle crashes jump over the Thanksgiving weekend.
