"The stakes were high. The winner would take home a lifetime of fame, glory, and unending respect from their colleagues and the world at large."
"The extremely scientific nature of this experiment meant the results would undoubtedly be taken very seriously by the city's transportation experts and power players."
"Here's who joined the race and the vehicles they used: Andrew Harlan: Social media manager, electric bike; Katherine Chew Hamilton: Managing editor, regular boring bike; Jeremiah Hayden: News reporter, car."
"The rules of the race: Meet at Portland City Hall at 4 pm-rush hour. Hop on your preferred mode of transportation to."
A group of six Mercury staffers participated in a race to identify the fastest mode of transportation in Portland. Each participant used a different vehicle, including an electric bike, a regular bike, a car, a bus, and a child's scooter. The race took place during rush hour, starting at Portland City Hall. The results aimed to provide insights that could influence future transportation funding and urban planning decisions in the city.
