I interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to announce the first-ever BikePortland.org benefit raffle!

This month I will give away a 2007 Raleigh One Way commuter bike. To enter, all you’ve got to do is buy a ticket for $4. All proceeds go toward maintaining and improving this site. Check out the contest page for all the details on how to enter.


If you’re a regular reader of this site or an active member of the Portland Bike Forums, I hope you’ll consider buying a ticket as a way to show your support of BikePortland.org. This site relies on you!

Get your tickets now by clicking the buttom below:
For more information visit the the raffle page.

[Big thanks to Reed Pike at Raleigh Bicycles for donating this bike and being so cool to work with on this.]

thanks for pointing that out. I’ve modified the PayPal button and it will now accept multiple quantity purchases…thanks!

my tickets have been purchased. Even if I don’t win, I know I’m giving money to a site that I frequent. Awesome!

I sure hope multiple tickets count more, I noticed after I made my purchase the PAYPAL receipt doesn’t show a quantity, only a total. So…how exactly are you counting ALL my tickets? or did I just spend $20 on ‘1’?

pdxrocket,

Don’t sweat man. I’ve got you down for 5 tickets. Your name will be added 5 times. The PayPal receipt says “5” on my end so everything’s cool.

Thanks for playing!

Does clicking on the ads help the site out, too? I’ve been trying to click a couple each time I’m on, but I’m not sure it does much.

Why’s it called a One Way if you’re commuting to and from work?

because there is only one way to ride and that’s with one speed.

*not with the raleigh marketing team

one speed scares me, but I bought anyway!

What a great idea for getting funds to the site. Thanks to Raleigh for the donation.

Next month, I suggest a Stumpjumper and a hacksaw. I’d buy a handful of tickets for that too.

Nice bike. If I win it, my legs will become tree stumps riding it up the hills on the west side where I commute from.

Fred: You could gear it down to 40 x 16 and make it up Capitol Hwy. and Terwilliger no problem.

Cool raffle, Jonathan. Any idea what its fair market value is for when the winner has to report it for income tax purposes?
