1980s bicycle poster

[upsonr]

In the late 1980s Oregon bicycle scene there was a poster I saw everywhere.  

It showed two photos of the same street.  

One picture of the street filled with cars, the other picture the street was filled with bikes, demonstrating the capacity of roads using the different vehicles.

Does anyone remember this poster, and know where to find it, even if just a digital copy?

A picture is worth a thousand words!

That's a nice graphic but I don't think it is from the 1980s! Look at those cars and helmets. :)

I think the original was by a bicycle advocacy group in NYC and the Street Trust (formerly the BTA)  redid the poster in Portland in the 90’s.

Yes, I thought it was the BTA which made the poster, and I thought it was in old town Portland, maybe on 2nd.

Wouldn't it be great to recreate that on Van Buren!  I wonder if that could be coordinated with a construction closure.

A person in Boston, MA has a copy of the poster. https://photos.app.goo.gl/grSKPX9LPLcXbhDk8

Thank you!  Yes! That is it!

In case people are interested, attached are some related images.  I particularly like the efficient economic statement of the bike parking image.
