Biketown: city bike share in Portland, OR. Unlike most US cities, you can temporarily lock the bikes around town (not just at a bike return station), and can check them out for more than 30 minutes per ride. Well organized, plentiful stations, though very heavy/clunky bikes even by bike share standards.

2009 Ride: Portland / Multnomah Falls

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 01:25:25 +0000

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].

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 city bike maps and many places to rent bikes– I’ve rented from both Waterfront and Kerr).
