Note: I'm currently on a family trip and not working normal hours. Email and message responses will be delayed and story and posting volumes here and on our social media accounts will not be at their usual levels until I return to Portland September 4th. Thanks for your patience and understanding. - Jonathan Maus, BikePortland Publisher and Editor

Pedaling is patriotic! Enjoy the 4th of July

Happy Independence Day!

Riding a bike gives us independence from so many things. Bicycles are freedom machines that allow us to go where we want, when we want — and the only fuel they require is our own muscles.

Hope you get a chance to ride today — whether that’s to a street party, parade, BBQ, or whatever.

We’ll see you back here tomorrow morning.
