The City of Vancouver has published a new “Cycling the Cities” bicycle map showing bike facilities, routes and trails in the Vancouver and Portland area. The complete bicycling guide contains a map of both the Vancouver urban area (north to Salmon Creek and east to Camas) and the City of Portland. Helpful cycling tips and contact information are also listed in the guide.
This new guide is one of the few bicycle maps in the country that is a bi-state cycling map. It could actually be considered an update to the 1896 “Cyclists’ Road Map of Portland District” bicycle map (originally published by Cunningham and Banks and later by the Oregon Historical Society 1973).
The City printed 10,000 maps which will be distributed for free
throughout the region at local bicycle shops (Vancouver & Portland), businesses and government offices. (Also at the Bicycle Transportation Alliance office in Portland.) Maps will also be available Saturday, Aug. 18, at the Mayor’s Bike Ride celebrating Vancouver’s 150th Anniversary.
