How Bikes Make Portland Cool

A mini-documentary out of Portland, Oregon showcases the vibrant bicycle culture the city enjoys, from "bike trains" of kids riding to school on traffic-calmed bike boulevards to a range of everyday people getting around by bike simply because it's "accessible."

As San Francisco strives to be the most bike-friendly city on the west coast, we can only hope it won't be long before we see as many two-wheeling families on our streets.
