The traffic down the lane in front of our booth was "walk your bike" speed. We were blessed to have this lovely shady spot under the tall park trees. So many ladies stopped by to share their bike stories and needs.

Several miles of streets are closed to car traffic and Portland citizens take back our streets. Citizens can walk, skate or bike the route. There are bicycles galore and citizens are on their front lawns to greet their neighbors. <br /><a href="http://www.portlandsundayparkways.org"><br />http://www.portlandsundayparkways.org</a>Eco Business Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04351805051328736295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645427269466933024.post-89604187133515772432010-05-03T11:28:00.000-07:002010-05-03T13:26:20.577-07:004 Types of Cyclists in PDX<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7AjRYyxXVIsAXCNp5ZJrJl12sOFh45Mk7STyPfRjK5ZnbZ4zbuUpI_Tdd17lKaz1_ByNxIjcK8HPhjVwpecur4q8lfe7y8Dsw7CFBB9bxVQIXrzFW_oeu5PpVsDEkCr4rhHtSXZVFKu_W/s1600/four-types-of-cyclists.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7AjRYyxXVIsAXCNp5ZJrJl12sOFh45Mk7STyPfRjK5ZnbZ4zbuUpI_Tdd17lKaz1_ByNxIjcK8HPhjVwpecur4q8lfe7y8Dsw7CFBB9bxVQIXrzFW_oeu5PpVsDEkCr4rhHtSXZVFKu_W/s400/four-types-of-cyclists.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467142531458307842" /></a><br />When you think of bicyclists in Portland you may get an image of an ultrafit cyclist streaking by in tight bicycle shorts but this is no longer the typical PDX bike rider. The City of Portland Transportation Office has identified 4 Types of cyclists in Portland.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Strong & Fearless - 1%</span><br />Cyclists who will ride in any weather and under any conditions. These only make up 1% of Portland Residents.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Enthused and Confident - 7%</span><br />These riders have been prompted by the bicycled road improvements enacted by the city of Portland. They will share roadway with cars, but prefer to have their own facilities. This group makes up 7% of Portland residents.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Interested but Concerned - 60%</span><br />These are the casual bicyclists who would be interested in commuting by bike if they didn't have to share the road with cars. These cyclists make up 60% of Portland!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />No Way No How - 33%</span><br />There are about 33% of Portland's population who are not currently interested in bicycle travel.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />New Portland Bikeways</span><br />Bicycle ridership has dramatically increased in Portland in the past ten years because of city efforts to address the issues of our 60% of riders who are not fearless! Our community has constructed many beautiful bikeways just for us, the average rider.<br /><a href="http://www.girlybikes.org/portlandcyclists.php"><br />PDF of "Four Types of Cyclists" by Portland Oregon Transportation</a>Eco Business Networkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04351805051328736295noreply@blogger.com0
