I'm thinking of getting a #bike.

I rented a bike in #Portland once. It was harrowing. There were no bike lanes, so I had to ride in traffic.

I'm blind in my left eye. That's the side traffic is on.

I live in the #Beaverton #Hillsboro area, which has some (narrow) bike lanes.

Does anyone have any experience or insight into whether I should even be considering this? I've almost been run over many times as a pedestrian. I assume it will be worse as a cyclist.
