Thanks to the cops keeping cars at bay, there were very few crashes. A couple blogs have sounded off that the ride is “dangerous” and “plagued by alcohol” (edit: whoops, that’s the same post on two different blogs), but The Oregonian reported that there were only three bike crashes requiring someone to be taken the hospital. Not great, but not bad for a ride that involves a ton of not-so-experienced cyclists.
