I always thought Portland was a bike friendly town, and one of my very good friends thought so too. She was always riding her bike to go to her school of art, and just loved bike riding but she wasn't noticed. She was a great friend and a lovely young woman. Rest in peace Tracey.

Just a reminder to all of you who live in biking friendly communities, there's always a chance for error. So please, please be careful and even when you're just going straight always make sure the cars around you know that you are in fact there.
