OREGON STATE BAR BULLETIN OCTOBER 2016 VOLUME 77 • NUMBER 1 Photo: Julia Art / Art Direction: Sunny Chao Many Oregonians, and many Oregon lawyers, favor two-wheeled over four-wheeled transportation. With its orange “Bike Town” stations, its “bike boulevards” and its dedicated on-street bicycle parking, Portland has the highest percentage of bike commuters in the nation. Indeed, cyclists use their bikes for commuting all around the state, with reasons as numerous as the riders themselves. The main reasons fall into five categories, as lawyer and writer Jennie Bricker reports. Pictured: Portland lawyer Ray Thomas at his downtown law office.
