I live in the Portland Oregon Metro area, so of course I'm not surprised. I just did the Springwater Corridor twice this week, including taking my bike on the MAX. The article neglected the weekly matches of bike polo, the naked ride, which the police sanction, and a boatload of other bike related topics. Also Portland Design Works purchased a velodrome from a college student in Calif., who made one as his final project for school.
