BikePortland hit the path to talk with riders about their experiences cycling on the Springwater Corridor and Eastbank Esplanade.
Are Portland's bike paths safe?
Learn more information about the CCC's dire financial situation in this interview with Executive Director Ruben Alvarado. Ruben was hired in July and didn't realize how bad things were until he'd taken the job. Now he's going all-in on a "Save the CCC" fundraiser and says if the storied, 30-year-old nonprofit doesn't raise $349,000 by the end of the year (and $115,000 by Oct 1st), they will be forced to shut their doors. BikePortland Founder & Editor Jonathan Maus is the host of the interview. Episode recorded at 10:00 am on September 9th, 2024.

Ground Score Association is using a fleet of trikes to pick up trash in Old Town and organizers say they want to expand into other parts of the city. The nonprofit offers low-barrier to entry jobs and hires people who've lived on the streets. In this video you'll meet leaders of Ground Score Association and two Ground Score staffers who now pick up trash — by trike! — from the same streets they used to live on. #homeless #portlandoregon #portland #tricycle #trikes #cargobike

28 candidates for Portland City Council (including a few mayoral candidates!) showed up at Bike Happy Hour #65. It was a stop on Bike Loud's 4 District Candidate Splash Ride. We split them into teams and had them try to fix a flat in order to demonstrate their leadership and collaboration skills. It was awesome! Footage in this video is by Amit Zinman. Go check his @BikeStuffPDX channel for more of his work.

Loud N Lit is Pedalpalooza's largest party ride of the year. In this vid you'll get a taste of the many sights and sounds that make it so fun.

Yes! There are some unsafe gaps, but it's possible. In a previous video, I showed you a new bike path that leads directly into the Portland Airport. But what's it like to actually get to that path? In this video, I ride from Peninsula Park in north Portland to the start of the new airport path near NE 82nd Way and Air Cargo Rd. Along the way you'll see a great neighborhood greenway, really bad bikeway network gaps, learn how the gaps will soon be fixed (hopefully), and more.

I ran into Portland bike personality Dumpsta D at an event a few days ago and did a short interview. I met him in 2005 when I first starting showing up to bike events in Portland but lost touch with him and hadn't talked since 2008 or so. He's known as a Street Roots newspaper vendor, artist, and poet — and he always rides the coolest bikes. He's known for finding free bike parts (hence his "dumpster" nickname) and refurbishing them into sweet vintage bike builds.
