One of the examples in the article is Clinton St, a designated "bike boulevard" in a dense residential neighborhood of Portland, 1-2 blocks south of one of the bigger, cooler commercial streets in the city.

Neither the people living along Clinton, nor the bicyclists who were incredibly unhappy to lose a low-stress route through the city, are looking to maintain a suburban lifestyle.
