New York Times: The way to see Portland is on your bike!

Today's New York Times travel section highlights Portland as a cycling mecca!
OK, ok, you got me. This doesn't quite count as news to us, does it? But come on, it's still noteworthy, and it is nice to be appreciated for how far we've come.
That said, my favorite part of the article, were the comments from PBOT's Roger Geller: "The goal is to become a world-class bicycling city."
For sure, many cyclists do think of Portland as their destination, but I think that once you get here, it doesn't take long to make your goal to take it further!
City bike planners, along with input from cyclists from throughout our community, and of course, the BTA staff, are currently working on a revised Bike Master Plan to help chart how the next phase of cycling infrastructure and support will unfold. For more information on that process click here.
