Fast facts
- The League of American Bicyclists says the state of Oregon is third best when it comes to bike friendliness, behind Washington and Massachusetts.
- The League also pointed out that Oregon’s statewide bicycle commute rate is the best in America at 1.4% (note this number is based on a U.S. Census survey and doesn’t reflect total ridership and is even less relevant with the massive shift to work-from-home).
- When it comes to safety, the League’s analysis reveals that Oregon is the sixth safest for bike riders with 4.1 fatal collisions per 10,000 bike commuters.
- Spending-wise, Oregon ranks a respectable 3rd out of 50 states with $8.56 per capita of federal funding spent on biking and walking.
