In early January I took a road trip with a friend from Chapel Hill, NC to his temporary home in Portland, OR for his academic sabbatical. There is something deviously satisfying about driving 4,457 miles with an urban planner to U.S. urban cycling nirvana. I learned that this Yankee loves West Texas, there are U.S. Border Patrol checks in Texas even when not crossing the border, cycling in Portland is made possible in part by Oregonian turtle-like, safe driving, and despite its many challenges, New Orleans will always be the coolest city in America.
