Holiday Road: Day 1

Friday, December 21

We departed Portland in the afternoon and drove to Medford. Our jump start on the trip proved to be less fruitful than we wanted due to afternoon traffic — it took over an hour just to get out of Portland. In Medford we stayed at a Motel 6 and looked forward to a short driving day on Saturday.

Idaho Stop Sign Law

Bike Portland has an interesting article about the “rolling stop sign” bicycle law in Idaho including an excellent letter from the Idaho Transportation Department. As a daily bike commuter, I wholeheartedly approve of such legislation and hope it comes to pass in Oregon.
