The national magazine, "Bicycling," rates Eugene the second best cycling city for its size. Boulder, CO is first for a similar population, and Portland, OR is rated best—of all the cities—in the nation! Boulder earned first place because of very strong work-day, commuter bike-travel. Eugene has more emphasis on recreational use.
Eugene has 30 miles of off-street paths, such as this bridge, and 89 miles of on-street bike lanes. As early as 2009, the sixth bike-bridge is planned; autos have three bridges. In 2005, the 130-mile Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway was established. (Oregon has the world's best mountain biking trail, on which I'll post images and a narrative later.)
