Wednesday Coffee and Donuts- And Something Else To Celebrate
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!
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.
Transportland Rocks The Twilight Parade!
Last Saturday night a solid group of businesses from the organization Transportland, who use cargo bikes instead automobiles to move people, goods and materials around rode in the Twilight Parade, part of the annual Rose Festival.

Portland reclaims #1 spot in Bicycling Mag rankings
Bicycling magazine just published their latest rankings of top 50 bicycling cities in the US and Portland has regained the top spot. Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“After being named runner-up in our last round of best bike city rankings in 2010, Portland reclaims the top spot. The only large city to earn Platinum status from the League of American Bicyclists is a paragon of bike-friendliness, with 180 miles of bike lanes and 79 miles of off-street bike paths. Always quick to embrace cyclist-friendly innovations, Portland was the first city in the United States to implement bike boxes at intersections and elementary-school bike commuting trains. “
Thank goodness we got it back so we don’t have to change the tag line on our awesome t-shirts!
