20,000 People! Portland (Providence) Bridge Pedal Pictures, Video & Tweets

The Portland/ Providence Bridge Pedal was a huge success. The weather was perfect for a 20+ mile bike ride today with temps around 67 degrees this morning. Estimates of 20,000 people were at the event.

There are many pics and tweets about the event, but Nick summed it up rather well with this tweet:

Jonathan was apparently in a helicopter flying over the action to take some pics. WOW. There is a a great post from him with info and comments on BikePortland here.

    : Ran into the Bridge Pedal again this year. Amazed how unwilling those Bridge Pedallers are to stop for a runner & her dog (in a crosswalk!).
