I have personal knowlegde that "no forward motion" is what the portland police look for.

So if you can track stand and have no forward motion you are a-okay.

I also think part of why the Portland pOlice are doing so much bicycle ticketing right now, is there is a new program for bicyclists who are given traffic tickets, they (as axle mentioned) go to a $30.00 traffic class, and then the case gets dismissed, if the violation is one of the elegible violations. However you can only go to the class one time.

So lots of cyclists right now are getting tickets and going to the class, but will be out of luck if they ever get a traffic ticket on their bicycle in portland again.


Sincerely,

Mark Ginsberg, bicycle traffic attorney to the stars (well, okay not the stars, how about to my friends and paying clients?)

don't pay much attention to cyclists. What do they consider a "stop"?
I just come to a track stand at a stop sign and don't unclip if theres
no traffic. Is that considered a stop
or must you unclip and touch a foot to the pavement? Would like to know
in case I happen to ride in the Portland area. J Wendling
