It’s amazing to see the press really starting to pay attention to these grass-roots efforts, especially as it pertains to cycling.  Click here for a great article in the NY Times about the cycling community in Portland, OR.  I was in Portland last year and I can attest that the efforts this city has taken to make cycling a viable form of daily transportation is amazing.  It is still far from perfect, but I saw hundreds of people cycling to work and stores in the town.  Every road seemed to have sharrows or bike lanes, and there was ample sheltered parking opportunities for cyclists.  All cities should be following this model.
