Join Oregon Manifest urban cruise on Sunday November 1

In keeping with the utilitarian theme of this year’s Oregon Manifest, join Bike Gallery and some of Portland’s bicycle planners and engineers to explore first-hand the city’s bicycle lanes, bicycle boulevards, green boxes and some of the many features that have contributed to make Portland the country’s most bicycle friendly city.

This will be a an informative, slow-paced urban cruise under 12 miles so please leave the lycra at home! Bike Gallery mechanics will be on hand at all times to help with tour and bicycle support. If you’ve ever been curious about what Portland’s bicycle planners and engineers are thinking, then this is your opportunity to both experience first-hand some of the designs that continue to attract Portlanders to using a bicycle for transportation, as well as to discuss their thinking and future plans.

Following the tour there will be refreshments and a short panel discussion with Jay Graves, Bike Gallery; Mia Birk, Alta Planning & Design; and Jonathan Nicholas, founder, Cycle Oregon.
