BEYOND PORTLANDIA BIKE TOUR

Explore Portland like a local, WITH a local!  Portland is so much more than Downtown and its kooky TV portrayal. Get to know OUR Portland, its strange, fascinating, and often troubled history, and check out the best off-the-beaten-path gems on this scenic 2 hour bike tour of NE & N Portland, the epicenter of Portland culture! 
On neighborhood greenways and bike lanes, we'll explore the radical history, secret sights, ecology+geology, eccentricities, and unique culture of N & NE Portland's Alberta,  Woodlawn,  Mississippi, Overlook & Sabin neighborhoods--our favorite parts of the bike-friendliest town in America! 

We DO NOT go downtown and you won't hear the boring-old-white-dude version of Portland history!

You'll be an expert on Portland by the end of this leisurely-paced 10 mile bike tour that includes:

  • Portland CULTURAL and HISTORIC sites from 15,000 years ago to WWII to today. We have some seriously interesting, weird, and far out tales for you on this radical history tour!

  • We'll ride by some of the best coffee roasters, brewers, eateries, and places that you have to try before you leave!

  • Learn about the geological forces that shaped Portland and the Pacific NW!

  • URBAN FARMS with goats!
