Pedal Power


Bicycle traffic in Portland continues to rise, yet the cooperation between cyclists and motorists on the road remains uneasy. And while Oregon law gives bicyclists much more power on the roadways than most people realize, the laws are often buried within other statutes and difficult to find.

To help Oregon’s cyclists fully understand their rights and responsibilities when sharing the road with motorists, bicycle attorney Ray Thomas has compiled all of these laws into a handy guide.
