Jonathan Maus over at BikePortland.org does a great job highlighting this years event. "Portland Sunday Parkways a Success: Thousands Enjoy Gift of Carfree Streets"
After witnessing firsthand last years Sunday Streets event, its great to see that the return to North Portland is a great success. It would be great to have a Sunday Streets/Ciclovia event in this area. If San Jose Bike Party can attract 1,500 riders in its second year riding until midnight I'm sure the demand is their when you include recreation starved families.
Bogota, Columbia started the whole idea by opening their streets to the city residents every Sunday over 10 years ago and the concept has spread worldwide. Clarence Eckerson Karla Quintero, and Aaron Naparstek traveled to Columbia to see just how successful their program is.
