Sasquatch Promotes Bike-Friendly Streets
by Sami Grover, Carrboro, NC, USA on 02.16.08
OK – we’re going to file this one under ‘strange’. Traffic calming measures like the raised crosswalk, or the chicane, that are being advocated by StreetFilms may not be popular with everyone (commenter Lummox certainly wasn’t impressed by anything that slows his car down). It appears, however, that they have proven a hit with Clarence, a rather unusual cycle activist. Clarence, you see, is a sasquatch, who has apparently come down from the mountains now that Portland’s city streets are safer for human-, sorry, sasquatch-powered transport. Maybe Portland’s cycle activists have too much time on their hands... ::StreetFilms::via site visit::

Ahh what a wonderful way to start my Saturday
Ha ha! Thanks for the post. I was wondering why we had over 400 people watch on a Saturday!
Best,

Very lovely there and quite green but I didn't see any pedestrians, people on the sidewalk, etc.
