With the exception of a stint in Klamath Falls,Oregon (which I don't recommend) I've lived in Portland all my life. This city is known by many names, both officially and unofficially. The city of Roses and Sillicon Forest to name a few. Now you can add to that list of alias' "2nd friendlist city towards bicycles in the world". The titleis a bit long, but not a bad thing to put on a resume. Portland was just named the second friendlist city towards bicyclists in the world by Virgin Vacations. With a bicycle network that has grown to 260 miles, and an additional 38 miles of bicycle lanes planned, Portland offers cyclists a great way to explore the city and excercise at the same time. And for those that venture a little farther than planned Portland has a bicycle friendly mass transit system that leaves nary a corner of the city unreachable.

And for future thought, I heard a rumor that Rolling Stone magaine has voted Portland the 2nd best city to live in in the year 2050. Huh, we must be doing something almost right.
