In today’s Oregonian, reporter Allan Brettman takes an informative look at the growth of cycling just north of the Columbia River.
Vancouver, awarded Bronze status as a Bike Friendly City by the League of American Bicyclists in 2005 already has some fabulous support for area cyclists, including a fabulous bike map and a network of bike route signage ready to rival that of Portland.
Brettman’s article shares some eye-opening statistics and analysis about the increasing amount of cycling infrustructure and support in Southwest Washington, and he also highlights the efforts of a number of local activists like city planner Todd Boulanger and local business owner Bob Wallis.
If you want to be a part of the move to make Vancouver an even more bike friendly city, come join the meet-up tonight at Wallis Engineering on 215 SW 4th St at 6:00. For more information contact Bike Me! Vancouver.
