City of Portland annual bike counts will include scooter riders for first time ever
The counts could help scooters and skaters form a more powerful political bloc.
4/25: Hello readers and friends. I'm still recovering from a surgery I had on 4/11, so I'm unable to attend events and do typical coverage. See this post for the latest update. I'll work as I can and I'm improving every day! Thanks for all your support 🙏. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor
The counts could help scooters and skaters form a more powerful political bloc.
As bike advocates learned long ago, you can’t start improving things until you start measuring them.
It’s marginalized, belittled and ignored, but people keep doing it because it’s practical, affordable and fun – and Portland is leading the nation in thinking about it as a useful form of transportation.
A new group for people who get around by skateboard says it’s the turn of another vehicle. A smaller one.
