Mayor Sam Adams used his State of the City address to announce that he remains committed to five Sunday Parkways events this year. He also announced that, for the first time ever, the popular event will be held in Southwest Portland.
In addition to maps and route details for each of the five events, PBOT also shared today that local bike shop Universal Cycles has stepped up as a major sponsor. Universal does a large online business and back in May they moved to a new retail store adjacent to the SE Ankeny bike boulevard.

Early season road racing is upon us in Portland, and right on cue the Banana Belt Series of circuit races around Hagg Lake starts this Sunday. The 11-mile lap challenges racers’ late-winter fitness as the different categories complete from two to seven loops.
The event has historically proven popular among those looking to give racing a try for the first time.
David Hart of Wenzel Coaching is helping to organize a free clinic for beginners (Cat 5 men and Cat 4/5 women) on Sunday, March 4th. It’s the second year the company has selected the kickoff race to entice new Oregon racers. “We felt that most racers pick this race as their first of the season. We saw an opportunity to be available to those racers who might be a little gun shy and want a little extra advice before the event,” Hart tells BikePortland. “The race is also close to Portland, so we knew there would be a higher interest in the clinic.”
