OUR TEAM
Our founder, Todd Roll, has been riding bicycles since his first hand-me-down Schwinn. He had a paper route at age 13, saw his first road biker a few years later and used money that was supposed to be for college to get his first road bike.
Never liking to sit still and drive, he's dragged bikes to everywhere he's lived including Eugene, Rome, San Diego, Seattle, Zurich and now Portland. Todd has done bike tours all over the west coast, Canada and Europe. Todd started Pedal tours to provide visitors and locals alike the experience of the most bike friendly large city in America.
GUIDES
— Rusty spent the summer of '08 taking groups on week-long tours on the Oregon coast and in the Columbia Gorge. Urban riding, long scenic loops and climbs to lookouts are his favorites. He also helps with the web site and marketing.
— A 14-year Portland resident who fell in love with biking back in the BMX 80's, graduated to mountain biking around Santa Fe and got his post doc in road biking in the Rose City. He loves working on his home with his wife, trashy cult movies and pinball. (But don't let that give you concern about his guide skills!)
Scott grew up riding his 2 geared "Street Machine" through the humid neighborhoods of Meraux, Louisiana. Later he graduated to a 21 speed mountain bike which he often rode past the ruins of antebellum homes along the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge. Six years ago, he found himself in love with Portland, Oregon and has been here ever since. On any given day you can find him cruising the streets of SE Portland on a sweet red Miyata. |
