b'PORTLAND, OR - Local advocates, planners, and politicians have worked hard to get Portland to meet the League of American Bicyclists "Platinum" Designation. Davis California was the first City to meet this designation but Portland is the first large city to win the award.

\\nOf course there is a lot more to do to make Portland a better, safer place to ride but there has been huge strides made in just the last two decades and this award recognizes that dedication and results.

\\nBut, the bar to attain Platinum will be continually raised so the City can\'t rest on it\'s laurels. Can Portland go double platinum?
