Introduction
I started biking to work in the late 70's. I love to ride. The physical and environmental benefits are secondary. I average about 4,000 miles per year, most of which is commuting. I did a cross-country trip in 1987.
What are you looking to get out of this group?
1. Knowledge of who commutes by bike in the Portland area, 2. Development of a "voice" for bicycle commuters to improve bicycling conditions, 3. Forum to share experiences
Would you like to have mentor to help you "learn the ropes" about commuting by bicycle, or would you be willing to be a mentor to someone else?
