Bicycle
Thanks to its plentiful bike lanes, a good bike-share system and motorists who respect cyclists, Portland is often named the most bike-friendly city in the USA. Many streets are even geared specifically towards cyclists, indicated by figures on bicycles painted in white on the pavement and by green-painted zebra crossings at intersections. At some intersections there are green "bike boxes," which are designed to prevent collisions with vehicles making right-hand turns.
