Portland By Cycle
Our guided bike rides and skill-building classes offer information and a supportive setting for adults new to cycling, new to the area, or just getting back on the bike.
Guided Bike Rides
Guided bike rides show you the best of Portland's neighborhoods and how to ride safely and confidently. All rides are loops - they start and end the same spot. July and August rides meet at 5:45, leave at 6:00, and last til about 8:00 p.m., covering between 6 and 11 miles round-trip. May and June rides meet at various times.
