Portland Bike Parking: Corral vs Oasis
Greg Raisman of the Portland Office of Transportation takes Streetfilms on a tour of bicycle parking facilities in Portland, Oregon. Watch the video and learn the pros and cons of on street bicycle parking (a bicycle corral) vs a sheltered bicycle parking oasis. And check out this article to read about the next bicycle parking amenities in Portland. Streetfilms has documented a variety of bike parking options. At many BART stations in the Bay Area you can park in outdoor lockers or inside Bike stations. New York City has also started to explore granting more on-street space for cyclists to park like here on Bedford Avenue.
Two great options for bike parking!

I have heard that Portland is one of the most bicycle friendly cities in the US. Now I have seen it. It feels really good that a city administration is so keen in promoting bicycle as a environmentally safe mode of commuting. Wish other cities around the world would take a leaf from portland and do something similar.
So great to see, I hope we can get the same in Toronto. I love the bike Oasis! Covered parking would be awesome!
