A quick illustration of why more people don't ride bikes in Portland using the nice and wide bike lane on SW Oak as an example. The video shows how it's great for nine blocks... But then ends abruptly and turns into a shared-lane environment right before the most important destination along its route: the famous Powell's Bookstore.

Want more people to choose cycling? Make sure good bike lanes connect to other good bike lanes to form a usable network, instead of forcing people into stressful, unsafe situations.

A bike network is only as strong as its weakest link!
