We’ve seen this type of amenity in Portland’s new stock of residential developments; but this is a first for a hotel. A Marriott sales executive told KPTV that it’s about convenience and security. “I think you sleep better at night knowing your bike is right there.”
It’s great to see this recognition of cycling from such a large corporation. Now we just need Mayor Charlie Hales to make good on his promise to create a protected bike lane on Naito Parkway. If that ever happens, the management of the Marriott will sleep better at night knowing their valued guests have a similar amount of respect outside the hotel’s front door.
