Portland International Airport is now offering a bike assembly station for those who travel with their bicycles. This move by Portland, known for its cycle-friendly spirit, is encouraging both bike tourism in other parts of the states (and the world), as well as encouraging urbanites to ride their bike to and from the airport.
The Oregon city already has a bike path connecting to Portland International and its new assembly stations only add to the ease of biking. That's the way it should be!
