Pedalpalooza

Pedalpalooza is a month of bicycle activities in gorgeous Portland, OR. It's organized by shift, a "a loose-knit and informal bunch of bike-loving folks". That's where the graphic above came from, BTW... Every day of June is filled from dawn to dusk with fun things to do on bikes. There's a garden bike ride where you can visit urban gardens. Themed rides abound. You're sure to have a fabulous time. Most bike shops will rent you a bike if you don't have one. Or, you can find bikes for sale on craigslist, garage sales, all over. It's a great event. Here are a couple of Zoobird blog posts with photos from Pedalpaloozas past.

For the moment,  shift2bikes.org/cal is a link to calendars of previous Pedalpaloozas.

Soon, www.pedalpalooza.org will be activated. Stay tuned!
