Allen's book is actually pretty good; it is fairly complete and has some good advice, especially some tips about night riding and riding in the rain and in the presence of angry drivers.
I was actually asking if the Oregon Bicyclist Manual was given out at advocacy events here in Portland. Does the city pamphlet differ from the ODOT manual?
