continuing on with a previous post - If anyone wants to get a better understanding of why Portland puts out so many more riders than other cities, try googling "Pedalpalooza" I quote:

"Pedalpalooza is 3+ weeks of bikey fun. With 280 different events (i.e rides), most organized by individuals, bikers of all persuasions are likely to find many events of interest. Nearly all events are free."

Portland is insanely devoted to bike culture, and Pedalpalooza, which is going on right now, is the focal point each year for all this craziness. During june, there are up to a dozen rides a day. You can't help but get caught up in it. So really, theres your answer -
