Heard about the Disaster Relief Trials but haven’t signed up yet? Want a free entry and some really cool prizes? Keep reading…
With the DRT just a few weeks away (June 11th), now is the time to firm up your plans and make sure you are a part of this amazing event.
DRT is about two big things: Gaining confidence and skills to respond when a disaster strikes and showing the vast potential of bicycles as emergency response vehicles.
If you’re a regular BikePortland reader, this concept is nothing new to you. We’ve been on this story since 2011 and have covered the rising realization that bikes have great disaster relief capabilities ever since.

This year’s DRT will be at Cully Park (NE Killingsworth/Hwy 30 and 72nd) and will also include a resiliency fair. If you want to be a part of the action and need a nudge to participate, we’re excited to share that we’ve teamed up with the organizers and their sponsor Tern Bicycles for a free entry and prize package.
All you have to do is share your Greatest Cargo Load Ever (a.k.a. #carryshitolympics)!!
To enter, just fill out this short form (via Google) and upload an image or two by May 27th. That’s it!
One winner will receive: Free entry ($30 otherwise), and a prize pack that includes four new-old-stock DRT stainless steel pint cups (below), DRT-branded one-inch spring clamp (for your manifest), and a smattering of Tern merch.
Thanks for playing and we can’t wait to see your entries … and see you at the event June 11th!

This is 9watts to take if he wants it.
You thinking trapeze thing? Or maybe one of his saws?
We’ll see about that …
Epic matchup.
I’m thinking loads of lumber, or composting toilets from the airport.
There should almost be some categories here, since obviously Bill’s trike is a whole other level.
Keep in mind the “Greatest Load” is subjective. Doesn’t have to be super large or extreme, could be creative. And yeah, no one can compete with the likes of Bill and his “trucks”..
Thanks for the shout out, Tony!
I submitted something, but look forward to the entries. Can we see them all somewhere?
What time does this start plz?
Shannon’s going to enter, right?
I’m going to be there to do video, so I guess that I don’t really need to enter this competition, but we did carry quite a lot that day
