Reduced fares, cash payment part of new ‘Biketown for All’ program

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.

The Biketown racers sing this song, doo-dah, doo-dah.
In Portland we use bikes to make sure there are enough bikes for bike share customers.
More than $405,000 is not bad for a month’s work.
Say it with me: phe-nom-en-on.

So far it looks like a strong start for Biketown.
The pomp and circumstance is out of the way. Let’s ride!
Just so you’re not surprised.
Tomorrow at around noon, Bike Town USA becomes Biketown.
