For instance, here we see some of the 18,000 people who attended the Bridge Pedal, riding 8, 24, or 37 miles in a zig zag course over 6, 8, or 11 bridges, most of which were shut down to auto traffic for half a day during this event. How many other cities would close their INTERSTATE for a bike ride?
Most of the attendees were on their creaky big-box-store bikes, and wearing whatever was comfy that morning - it had been hot, so there weren't so many people pedaling in the official outfit of Portland - jeans and a hoodie - but there were some. Others wore fun outfits, or decorated their bikes or helmets.
Most just got on their bikes and rode. We do that around here.
