What percentage of Portland's adult population gets around primarily by bicycle? I'm more interested in reducing car use by improving public transportation, but don't see as many vocal advocates for that.
Ahhhh, the romance of the bike lane. Used by few--but they punch above their weight. And, pray tell, who pays for these wonderful conveniences for the few? Why...it's the hated automobile (and the subhumans who drive them), soon to be joined by EV drivers, who are a smidgen better, but GuvTina will soon get their 8 oz. of flesh.
How the bikers got so much clout while paying nothing is one of the most fascinating questions in Portland politics (after a similar question about POCs). I wonder if Allan will delve into that.

That's because people use public (ie, socialized) transport until bad things happen. The problem with public transit is the public.
About 14% of Portland households did not own an automobile in 2016.
