If you know of a better place for biking, I’d like to know about it. One of the best things about Portalnd is it’s love of cycling, whethet it’s on the road, in the mud, or just plain old rolling around town. As you’d expect there are a number of awesome shops in the area. I’ve had a lot of luck with the Bike Gallery, but if you’re looking for a more independent feel, I’ve heard Gateway Bicycle on 119th and Halsey is a well-informed and personal experience. Any other recommendations for stores, routes, or brands should be posted here.
Transportation
What if you could get everywhere you needed to go, without a car? Most neighborhoods have one or two transportation alternatives. South Waterfront will feature over six options, including the country’s first commuter aerial tram to be built since 1976. Combined with the streetcar, bike paths, and three Flexcar spots, the variety of transit options means you may never need your car. In the future, Trimet buses and a new light rail line (and maybe even the occasional water transit) will all serve South Waterfront.
