Portland OR prides itself on being the most bike friendly city in the USA and is continuing to cultivate a culture of bike riding. The conventional wisdom is also that biking is very safe in urban Portland. There have however been two recent deaths of bikers in Portland. I can also say from personal experience I choose not to ride my bike on Portland streets for safety reasons. I think it is great to encourage economically and environmentally beneficial habits. I also think that we should be honest about what the risks are. via metafilter
