Ride Through the Seasons

Keep on riding, Portland!

Bike Summer may be over, but our streets are open to bicycles year-round, 24/7. Our Ride Through the Seasons campaign is here to help you prepare to ride beyond summer and into fall. 

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is offering a series of free workshops and bike rides throughout fall, in partnership with community-based organizations.

By participating in Ride Through the Seasons events, you'll also have the chance to win prizes!
