Ah, summer in Portland. It's finally, unequivocally here. In Portland we get a little giddy this time of year, like the proverbial kid in the candy store.

So please, let me offer you some delightful sweets that will provide an endorphin rush without any of the plaque build-up:

Do you want to learn something about Portland or have a little company while you're walking? Try one of our guided walks highlighting cultural, recreational and/or historical sights in our Ten Toe Express walking campaign.

Or perhaps this is the summer you're going to start bike commuting, but you want to dust off your riding skills in a fun, slow-paced environment? Try our Portland By Cycle rides.

Or perhaps you'd like to ride with other women sans the musky aroma of testosterone? May I suggest our Women on Bikes program?

Or perhaps you've lived long and would like to walk with some of your fellow seniors? Our Senior Strolls walks are just for you!

This summer's events are held in beautiful east Portland. All events are free and open to all.
