One of the best ways
to explore the Rose
City is on two wheels.
With miles of protected bike lanes (many of which are adorned with
special designs), one of the world’s largest naked bike rides, and even
a months-long bike festival every summer, Portland is a bicyclist’s
dream city.
Pedaling through Portland on two wheels is a summertime must.
With almost 400 miles (650 km) of bikeways woven throughout the
city, Portland is consistently listed as one of the most bike-friendly
cities in America.
Portland’s bikeways are made up of bike paths, designated bike lanes
and neighborhood “greenways” where bicycles and pedestrians are
given priority over cars. In just a few minutes, cyclists can go from
riding beneath a canopy of trees in Ladd’s Addition to biking along the
Eastbank Esplanade and watching the sunset over the Willamette
River.
Want a guide to help you hit the bike lanes? Portland offers plenty of
bike tours to let you see the city like a local. Please visit reception for
more information.
