On February 19, 2010, the Portland City Council passed a Bike Plan. Just like we saw this week, Portland's Mayor announced a funding mechanism to make the plan a reality. For Portland, it was the $20 million "kickstart." For Los Angeles, it's the steady trickle of Measure R local return funds. But nevertheless, the day after Portland passed its Bike Plan, the super-blog Bike Portland printed this cartoon. Consider it part joke, part history lesson and part warning.
