Bikey Friends

Are you in downtown Portland, hungry and don't have time to make a trip to your favorite food cart? Or maybe you'd like to send some flowers (and vegan organic truffles) to your sweetheart? Well, now you don't need to leave your office, or comfy spot in the park even! Just order online or by phone through Portland Pedal Power and they'll deliver your order by bike anywhere in the downtown area. Check their website for more information.
byCycle.org
Looking for a way to get safely from here to there by bike? Can't find your bike map, or maybe its way out of date? Just happen to be sitting in front of your computer? Stop by bycycle.org and plan a route. Its Google Maps for bikes!
SHIFT
SHIFT is a loose-knit, informal collection of bike-lovers in Portland, OR helping to promote the bicycle in all its glory: as a toy, transportation and as tool for social and environmental change. SHIFT is responsible for numerous bike-centric events and performances helping to highlight both the fun and the political of bike culture.
Filmed by Bike

7 Corners Cycle
Wondering where we get most of our bike repairs and parts? That would be our favorite neighborhood bike shop - 7 Corners Cycle! Stop in when you need something or just want to say hi to Corey.
Super Friends
