Knickerbocker Bicycle Bridge
Knickerbocker Bicycle Bridge (officially the Willie Knickerbocker Bridge) is a bridge across the Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon, United States. The bridge was dedicated in 1980.
The bridge was originally constructed to carry a Eugene Water & Electric Board water main for $330,000. The city and county added the bridge deck, rails, and approaches for $110,000.
The bridge is named for Willie Knickerbocker (1868–1960), "The Father of Bicycling in Eugene".
