The breweries and bike lanes are plentiful, though some are on less pleasant for riding, higher-traffic streets (with somewhat hairy traffic circles West of downtown). The trails (some dirt) along the Deschutes River were nice, though.</p> https://velodromedary.com/post/2009-ride-portland-multnomah-falls/ Fri, 07 Jan 2011 01:25:25 +0000 https://velodromedary.com/post/2009-ride-portland-multnomah-falls/ <p>It’s a cold and rainy Christmas evening and I’m full of a British-style roast-and-potatoes dinner, so I’m digging through photos of good past bike trips [I’ll post this some time in January when I get around to it].</p> <p>Here’s a ride from mid-2009 (back when the idea of a 40-mile bike ride with hills was daunting): along the Columbia River Gorge to Multnomah Falls during a visit to Oregon. Portland is of course a city conducive to cycling in many ways (with detailed <a href="http://www.gettingaroundportland.org/transportation/index.cfm?c=39402">city bike maps</a> and <a href="http://www.portlandonline.com/transportation/index.cfm?a=71974&amp;c=34812">many places to rent bikes</a>– I’ve rented from both <a href="http://www.waterfrontbikes.com/">Waterfront</a> and <a href="http://www.kerrbikes.org/">Kerr</a>).</p>
