Wednesday Coffee and Donuts- And Something Else To Celebrate

Everything Bicycles

What a beautiful day on the Hawthorne Bridge!  Bright sunshine greeted us, along with even more commuters than usual.  Yesterday’s election coupled with the brilliant weather brought people out in droves.  Many thankful and joyous riders stopped to have a cup, a donut and a chat with us.  Thanks to all who stopped and enjoyed the morning with us!

And, actually we have a question for you guys. We’re currently looking at integrating coffee more into our tours or at the shop. Would you prefer if we brew it ourselves using something like this, or make a quick stop to a Stumptown on the way?

Join us tomorrow from 7:45-9:30 on the Broadway bridge!

 

 

 

 

 

Tuesday Morning Wrap-up (with a little Monday on the side)

Good Morning!

Our fearless leader, taking on the mornings – One donut and cup of coffee at a time.

What a beautiful morning it was on the Steel Bridge! It was so nice to talk with some of you, daily commuters, as you braved the crisp cold air this morning.  Thanks to everyone that stopped by for some morning rewards and a nice chat. Seeing everyone riding bikes to work, or home, this morning brought a new appreciation for the city and everyone in it. Whether you all were taking a break from your commute or ride or whirling by, smiles were all around by the handful. Hope you all enjoy your Tuesday!

Here’s one awesome commuter and her sweet bike

 The Hawthorne Bridge  brought us some great stories to kick off the morning and a lot of squeaky brakes.

If you haven’t seen this already, you really should, it’s pretty neat! Here is the bike counter stats from the Hawthorne Bridge for the last 30 days. http://portland-hawthorne-bridge.visio-tools.com/

Portland has a new iconic mural!

You can see it now and forever outside Pedal Bike Tours at 133 SW 2nd Avenue.

According to the League of American Bicyclists, Portland is the most bicycle friendly large city in the United States, and here at Pedal Bike Tours we think that’s something worth celebrating… in a BIG way.

We’ve just put the final touches on a new 4-story mural in the heart of our Old Town neighborhood. Now tourists coming in for a sightseeing tour at Pedal, visiting the Saturday Market or enjoying some Stumptown Coffee or Voodoo Donuts around the corner, can experience Portland’s love of bikes, and have yet another great photo opportunity. And for locals… we can revel in the pride of a 6% bicycle commuter rate, and always push the bar higher… or BIGGER.
