Pedalpalooza Bike Summer

Annual bike fun fest with hundreds of rides. The fest began in 2002 when the traveling Bike Summer stopped in Portland. Locals loved it so much, they did it again in 2003 and called it “Mini Bike Summer.” Then in 2004 the named changed to Pedalpalooza. In 2024, the organizer chose to drop that moniker and refresh back to Bike Summer.
