Traveler advice

Getting around

Bikes are a fun way to get around town and explore.

Portland has neighborhood greenways all around town with streets set up for biking with less traffic. This is a great way to get a feel for all that Portland has to offer. We recommend renting bikes at, PDX Bike Rentals. You won't be sorry. Enjoy.
