I’ve just returned from touring 10 of Portland’s bridges with approximatly 20,000 of my fellow cyclists. The ride was mostly on roads, although at one point we were on the Springwater Trail, which was about 10 feet wide. This made for a very large bottleneck, so after crossing our first Bridge, the Morrison, we spent about 20 or 30 minutes waiting to get onto the path.
We eventually got on and rode down to cross the Willamette river at the Sellwood bridge. The other large bottleneck was the block party at the top of the I-5 freeway, the Marquam bridge. This spot had one of the best views of Portland on the ride.
Update: Check out the Flickr group on the topic for some amazing panoramic shots of the city (like this one by Major Clanger).
