Portland by bike! - Donovan our guide was great! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The route we took was beautiful! And he gave great recommendations for other things to do and see in Portland. We highly recommend doing this bike tour.

Lovely Rose Garden - My husband and I completed the Essential Portland bicycle tour. Jaydon was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed riding about the city and learning about it's history. My favorite portion was smelling roses in the rose garden

Great way to experience Portland - Seeing Portland by bike is a quintessential part of experiencing Portland. The ride was pleasant, my two kids, ages 10 and 12, were easily able to complete the ride. There were several stops with great info shared by Bailey, our tour guide.

Essential Portland Bike Tour - Review of Cycle Portland I only had 2 full days in Portland, and my main goal was to test out just how bike-friendly the city actually is. Since I was traveling on my own, and hadn’t done extensive city/town biking in a couple of years, I had some anxiety. But that quickly melted away as soon as I stepped into Cycle Portland’s store. Everyone there was so inviting and ready to assist with any questions. I had booked the Essential Portland Tour, and had the pleasure of having Bailey as our tour guide. She was attentive to our group - making sure we were comfortable on our bikes, that we knew the rules of the road, and ensured we never got split up. She also gave succinct and interesting historical tidbits about the city along the way, keeping it open to any questions or conversation. I kept my bike after the tour and did a loop around the river, which I highly recommend for anyone wanting to get some more time biking around. They’ll provide you with a lock, a map, and any guidance on where to ride before they send you on your way. Thanks again Cycle Portland for an amazing day!

Great experience - Bailey was fantastic, really knowledgeable and patient with a slow rider. Overall it was a fun and active way to see Portland.

Best Way To Tour Portland! - Cycle Portland is a full service shop. We loved their staff, the tour and our bikes. This was our first activity in the city and was a great way to get oriented and see what it offered. We enjoyed our time on wheels so much, we decided to rent them for the duration of our trip. Kurt helped us figure out how to get to the coast, Astoria, with our bikes by taking an express bus ride.

Bike riding Portland! - Took the light rail from my hotel to cycle portland. They set me up with a bicycle and our guide was Kevin. He took us on a nice leisurely ride around the city stopping everyvso often to tell us the history of Portland. Really enjoyed the ride. I came back every morning and rented a bike so I could tour the city on my own.

Excellent - In August 2024 a group of 19 ranging in age from 16 to 64 took the Essential Portland tour on electric bikes. Since the initial contact the team at Cycle Portland worked with us to develop a seamless trip. The ebikes were fun and evened out the different ability levels of the group. When we arrived our names were on the bikes and only needed minor seat adjustments, there were plenty of helmets and we got started quickly. Biking has become one of our favorite ways to learn, see and go places we probably wouldn’t go if not on a bike. Our tour guides Charlotte and Donovan were terrific and gave us suggestions for places to eat and visit during our short time in Portland. It was nice to have residents of the city give us insights into the city. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Portland was made for cycling - Our guide Donovan gave it the true local's touch! I thought I knew a good chunk of Portland's history but was pleased to discover more right down to the fact that much of the bike infrastructure could be credited to one amazing senior city councillor decades ago. Nice route, safe, and fun. Easy riding, mostly flat.

A fantastic experience - A fantastic experience. The staff at the shop were very friendly and helpful. Useful customer toilet was spotless. The bikes and helmets were well maintained and clean. Tour goes up river on one bank and down river on the opposite bank. Donovan was a great lead maintaining a pace to suit everyone, keeping the dialogue witty and informative and keeping the group safe at intersections. All in all a great morning and a great way to get a feel for this great city.
