PORTLAND’S WORST BIKE ROUTES
-
SE Powell & 17th Ave. (The worst underpass ever.)
7:30pm
Don’t Portland’s calm, treelined bike boulevards get a little boring sometimes? If you like walking on 82nd street, you’ll LOVE this ride. Bring a patch kit, nerves of steel, and full body armor. This is gonna suck.
