What a fantastic way to begin 2026... thanks to all who came out for our special New Year's Day Ride! Though it was a wet and cold afternoon, we had a dedicated crew come out and enjoy a soggy tour of the Portland Art Museum's and SW 4th's new infrastructure, along with prizes.

Great piece on the economic case for e-bike infrastructure.
Imagine you live in the most dense city in the country, with great eats/shops/bars in your hood but ALSO great stuff in the next one over. E-bikes expand the radius of what's easily available to you.
