north american cycletrackistas love their parked cars don't they. (not so much in denmark)
this cycle track is also frequently blocked by "world class" kamikaze pedestrians and "world class" car/bus pull ins. it's proximity to buildings makes it a great spot for "world class" construction crews to store their vehicles and equipment for week to months at a time.
another cycle track with "world class" twisting curves and a "world-class" right hook at every intersection!

and the moody has a "world class" pillar that completely blocks view of the path ahead.

the criss-crosses and mixing zones are also very "world class"
and, finally, the world class multnomah protected bike lane.
