Portland sharing the road video
Buses, Trains & Bikes: Sharing the Road is a video produced by TriMet, the public transportation agency in the greater Portland area. The purpose of the video is to give guidance to cyclists when they ride near buses and trails and over the train tracks.There are good shots of the excellent bike facilities in Portland. You'll also find some good advice for riding in traffic with or without buses nearby: "Take the middle of the traffic lane if it is narrow so that drivers behind you will know to move into the left lane to pass."
Check out all the cyclists during some of the clips. It reminds me of a trip to Seattle when we were watching out our motel window and were amazed at all the bike commuters on a cold windy late Fall day.
