Along with so many people, I came to #Portland motivated by the dream, that by &quot;2030, #biking would be more popular than #driving for trips of three miles or less. Portland’s victory over #car-dependence would be complete.&quot; Brilliant @sightlineinstitute writer @andersem documented Portland’s bike history way back in 2014 - the moment the &quot;bike wave crested. The day that Portland started to fall out of love with its story.&quot; Is the dream coming back? Hope so! #BikeTooter https://bikeportland.org/2014/05/13/something-has-gone-wrong-in-portland-105851

@CathyTuttle@social.ridetrans.it @sightlineinstitute@masthead.social @andersem@mastodon.social Same here. I’m only in Portland a small part of each year but wanted to make the full move up. I’m sad to read about how cycling has declined. It sometimes makes we wonder if I still want to make the move to be completely up there
