You’re better off biking in New York City than Portland, Maine. There are bike paths on every avenue and street. The bike path along the Hudson River, from one end of the island to the other, is a site to behold. Beautiful plantings, landscaped parks, benches, clean bathrooms and water fountains are all along the dedicated paths for bikers and pedestrians. It’s easy to get from point A to point B in NYC on a bike.
It makes no sense that at least Congress Street, the main thoroughfare through downtown Portland, has no dedicated lane for biking. Carbon neutral?
