To bike that, they must get into the far left lane of three fast moving and very busy lanes of traffic. I literally sat on my bike on an early Sunday morning for a long time and saw no possible way to safely bike it. | |

Airport Way is tagged with RLIS:bicycle=caution_area and there are designated bike paths nearby which together should ddiscourage routing engines from routing onto Airport Way. | ||

| 4 | 2025-10-06 18:31 | commented | Edthebikeguy ♦16 | I use the Wandrer website. It is for walkers and bike riders that want a challenge to ride every road (trail etc) in a given area. And when you are committed to completing and they get their source from OSM, guess what? You get a bunch of people out there unsafely trying to ride this. There are more than 3,000 riders in Portland logging new miles in Portland based on what OSM is telling them us rideable. That is where I disagree with the whole "legal" vs dangerous debate. There is another section on Ross Island bridge that is even worse than this one that just got reverted back to bikeable even the to get to it you have to ride the bridge on the side that has no sidewalk or shoulders, no room for a bike on a lane with constant traffic going at freeway speeds. | ||

They built bike lanes and have frontage roads that parallel the main road in and out of the airportfor this reason. That main road is nothing short of a freeway with fast cars in multiple lanes. Then, you have the Departures road (and others) as bikeable roads. That's flat out dangerous. I just did it and was almost hit on multiple occasions. Bikes have no business on these roads. We might as well start marking freeways as bikeable if these are okay. The thing is, OSM feeds other systems that then tell bikers that these are roads they can/should do. They should not! Somebody is going to die. | |

| 3 | 2025-04-12 11:42 | commented | dannmer ♦16,802 | There appears to be an unmapped trail running from the note location north to the parking lot | ||

The water forms a mossy green and it's not easy to tell that it is liquid and deeper than you think. | |

| 4582295 Category: unknown | 1 | 2025-01-09 05:43 | opened | Edthebikeguy ♦16 | This T road has both ends too long on this map. Neither end is accessible further than where the road name on this map starts and ends. They are covered with blackberry bushes and it looks like they never extend those ends that far or they were abandoned years ago. Nobody can walk or ride that far. They are accessible only barely half the distance shown here. Google satellite shows them shorter too. | |
