Get the Flash Player to see this player.

The Portland Office of Transportation (PDOT) recently launched a new program to re-introduce older adults to bicycling. Many of the participants haven't ridden a bike in over 50 years. Wow! Smiles and good feelings abound.

    Excellent! This is a great example of social justice in action--making bicycling available to folks who aren't the usual able-bodied, two-wheeled riders. Thanks, Portland, for giving us good example once again.

    A delightful, well-done film. I'm so proud to be a Portlander!! Perfect example of a city that tries to include everyone in opportunities for keeping active.
