Pacific Northwest / Starting a tour in Portland, OR

« on: April 17, 2023, 09:59:09 pm »

Hi all. We’re planning a 7-10 day tour that will start in or near Portland, OR, heading toward the north coast area and back to Portland. We’ve never been to Portland. I know it’s famous for it’s bike infrastructure.

One big question I have is whether we should ride out of Portland to start? Or would it be better to plan either taking transit or getting a friend in the area to drive us out of the metro area to start?  I know the region has great bike paths and bike lanes but just wondering how easy it is to get out of the metro area  on a bike. Thanks.

Classifieds / SOLD: Used Scott AT-4 Handlebars

I don't think these are made anymore and I think many people still like them so I'd thought I'd see if anybody wants mine.  I bought these in 1998-ish, used them on a commuter bike for about 3 years, and they've been sitting on a shelf in my basement ever since.

They measure 22.5 inches from outside to outside at the widest point.

The paint is pretty well scuffed from installing and uninstalling shifters and brake levers.

$30 + shipping (OBO).
