That described my visit to Portland perfectly. Such a difference from Flagstaff.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what Flagstaff is like, but I've seen a few articles about Phoenix. I can only hope that a quiet revolution can start in any town.
ReplyDeleteI came to your blog via Let's Go Ride A Bike- totally stoked! I am so happy that you enjoyed our cycling culture- we do have it pretty good. It looks like you spent a lot of time in West Philly and Center City, which has some of the better infrastructure amenities (as far as bike lanes go) but the rest of the city is generally pretty hospitable as well. Your Philly series makes me proud!
