Obama held a rally along the Portland waterfront on a perfect spring day. Naturally, thousands showed up by bike (as many as 8000 according to BikePortland). Inspired, Obama said:
“If we are going to solve our energy problems we’ve got to think long term. It’s time for us to be serious about investing in alternative energy. It’s time for us to get serious about raising fuel efficiency standards on cars. It’s time that the entire country learn from what’s happening right here in Portland with mass transit and bicycle lanes and funding alternative means of transportation.
That’s the kind of solution that we need for America."
no mention of obama spoke cards?
