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 from September through November, in partnership with community-based organizations.
By participating in Ride Through the Seasons events, you'll also have the chance to win prizes and receive free accessories along the way!
