Overview

It's all about the bike ride! We like to spend more time riding in the areas Portlanders love, but always stopping to smell the roses. Start in the inner Eastside at 833 SE Main #121, where we will safely fit you for a bike and helmet, ready for a sweet 8-11 mile ride through a pretty residential area, to our favourite rose garden, into an art-heavy industrial district, across the sexy Tilikum Bridge, and onto Portland's waterfront. From there, it's a trip along the edge of city centre and more stories, before we head over another bridge back to our shop!

You'll visit most of the city's quadrants, ride over two bridges, and along the Willamette River. We'll visit almost-secret beaches, read poetry written in pavements and rocks, see public art of every shape, colour and texture. And have you tried some of the city's best doughnuts or ice cream? We’ll tell you our favourites! All along the way, we'll tell the stories of the city we love.

Bikes, helmets and water provided.

Activity itinerary

Around Portland Tours (Pass by)
We will get you fitted for a bike and helmet at Around Portland Tours' shop at 833 SE Main Street #121, and head out to the streets of Portland for a slow-paced ride through the inner Southeast Portland areas. We'll ride into the Hawthorne District, past one of the original food cart pods, and one of the newest.
Ladd's Addition
  • 10m
After taking off from the shop, we'll ride into Ladd's Addition, a pretty area designed in a labyrinth style, and visit one of the many rose gardens there.
Clinton Street Theater
  • 5m
The Clinton Street greenway is part of our experience, and we stop to show off one of the original tram stops and our favourite spot (in times when the theatre is open) to see funky, artsy, and cult films.
The Solterra Building
  • 5m
We'll ride the bike path along the Orange line of the MAX light rail, which has a variety of beautiful art pieces, from word play along concrete barriers and in the pavements, to the gorgeous mural by Irish street artist Fin DAC -- a mural that must be seen to be fully appreciated!
Tilikum Crossing
  • 5m
Our favourite bridge to ride across is the Tilikum Crossing, one of the most unusual bridges in a city focused around its Willamette River crossings! We'll take the slow route onto the bridge, get counted by the device that monitors the number of cyclists to cross each day and each year, and stop for photos and some history on Portland's newest bridge, and the only one like it in the world.
Portland Aerial Tram
  • 5m
From the Tilikum Crossing we'll head to the South Waterfront area, past the docking for the Aerial Tram, Portland's newest mode of transport, and learn why we have this beautiful bullet-shaped transport -- and how much, exactly, it cost us.
Blue Star (Pass by)
BLUE STAR CURRENTLY OPEN LIMITED DAYS/HOURS. We will stop at another doughnut shop, pastry shop or ice cream if they are closed.
South Waterfront Greenway
  • 10m
One of our favourite hidden river spaces, the South Waterfront Greenway is one of the many links in the city's amazing river access.
Poet's Beach
  • 5m
We could wax eloquent about Poet's Beach forever! This little sandy beach was created by the Human Access Project, a programme that seeks to connect us more tangibly to the river, so we take better care of it. What’s more, the poetry along the beach, written by local students, captures our hearts and minds.
Riverplace
  • 5m
We'll head down the Willamette River, passing one of the most interesting housing and retail developments from the 1980s, and learn how this project attempted to change the course of urban design.
Tom McCall Waterfront Park
  • 10m
We'll ride through the Tom McCall Waterfront Park, and learn how what it *used* to be changed Portland in a big way; and how our reluctantly hippie governor in the early 1970s changed it back.
Hawthorne Bridge (Pass by)
We'll ride under the Hawthorne Bridge, and learn why this iconic structure might go up and down, with no big ship underneath it.
