The Portland Police Bureau is once again turning to the community to help them save money and work the crowds at the upcoming Grand Floral Parade. Lieutenant John Brooks says he hopes for a repeat of last year’s parade when 40 bike-riding Portlanders teamed up with police officers to staff the event.

Lt. Brooks tells us that not only did last year’s event turn out to be, “A very positive experience for both the Police Bureau and the citizens who participated,” — it also saved the bureau $69,000.

Coming soon to Portland: A 14-person ‘party bike’

Get ready Portland!

From tall-bikes to cargo-trikes, Portland is full of interesting, pedal-powered vehicles. Now you can add a party bike (or “cycle pub” as they’re sometimes known) to that list.

55-year old Northeast Portland resident John Boblett says he’ll start taking reservations for his “Pedalounge” 14-person-powered bike in the next few weeks.
