message: ===Bicycling===
Portland leads American cities by providing riders with hundreds of miles of on-street Bike Routes. Portland bicycle and pedestrian advocates have been active for years, hosting Walkable City Workshops, Rails to Trails, and the current 40-Mile Loop, as part of local neighborhood and community-planning processes. The City of Portland, Metro Regional Transportation Planning Committees, and the Oregon Dept of Transportation, Tri-Met cooperate to design multi-modal transit route improvements. Multnomah County has pledged Pedestrian and Bicycle improvements as part of each bridge renovation projects it conducts. At least 3,000 Bike Commuters per day use the east-west Hawthorne street and bridge to downtown.
Portland alone holds a large collection of bicycle-only infrastructure, such as the bike path along the length of I-205 from Oregon City to the Columbia River and Vancouver, Washington. 
Thousands of riders participate in organized rides in the Pacific Northwest. Annual major events include the Bus/Bike/Car Challenge, daily Bike Month events, the Seattle to Portland (STP) ride, a mountain to coast ride, the worst day of the year ride, dozens of club events, and over 10,000 Bike Portland's scenic Bridges, in the Providence Bridge Pedal each August.
All Tri-Met Buses amd MAX Light Rail Cars can carry bikes. Free Bike Lockers are also available. Riders may contact the BTA for a Locker Key, route maps, and additional information. This website: http://www.bta4bikes.org is provided by Oregon's statewide advocacy group, The Bicyce Transportaton Alliance to assist riders to improve safety, and provide legal support and enjoyment for Bicyclists.
This large network of bike paths may deserve articles, and additional links to Maps. —the preceding comment is by 24.20.17.196 (talk • contribs) 2007-02-05T07:25:40 PST: Please sign your posts!.
:This appears to be a call for creating some articles.  I looked to see if some were already written, but few are.  Here are a few ideas for article names, and some external links to help create them:

:* Bicycling in Portland, Oregon:  currently lightly addressed in Transportation in Portland, Oregon#Cycling; additional sources: 
:** List of bicycling events and clubs in Portland, Oregon:          
:* Bicycling in Oregon:      
:** Oregon bicycling law  
:** Bicycle Transportation Alliance:  this unique organization probably deserves an article   
:* Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic:  article started; could use more references, history and photos
:* Cycle Oregon:  this highly sought-after event probably deserves an article 
:* Worst day of the year ride   
:* Portland Bridge Pedal:   
:* The Hood to Coast ride, but can't find the name of it.  Anyone know?
