We enjoyed every minute of the ride and the interesting info re the city shared by our excellent guide Charlotte. Fun way to see Portland from a different vantage point. Felt safe with our fine-tuned rental bikes and with our confident, experienced leader in Charlotte. She answered any questions we had, incl a suggestion for a restaurant for dinner we will never forget! Only suggestion, bring water.

We did the ebike tour and it was very fun, Donavan was our guide and he was very good and flexible as to the route. We did a great ride along both sides of the Willamette River. A great way to see Portlands river front. Highly recommend! Mother nature provided light rain the entire ride but it made it a truly Portland experience!

Donavan was our tour guide and he was the best! He took the time to educate us on the features of how to use the ebike; each stop was an independent discussion of the area history; always provided hand signals for direction; open to any questions; great suggestions for food and other sites to see in the area. Donavan was great! And the other guys in the shop were very helpful as well. I would definitely go on this tour again even though I've been once. I would recommend to all. Thank you to the bike shop!

Donovan was a great guide. He helped us navigate safely around Portland by bike while sharing historical and cultural information. It was a great way for us to orient ourselves on our first day in the city. He also provided very helpful suggestions for dining and activity in the city.

Nice bike tour

Patti_C, Sep 2025
This tour was fun and informative. We rode bikes (not e-bikes) and were able to keep up easily. Charlotte put safety first at all times and shared many interesting facts about Portland. Would strongly recommend.

Biking Around Portland

Patty_P, Sep 2025
Bikes in good condition, bike shop neighborhood a bit sketchy with a lot of unhoused people. Charlotte was very knowledgeable and took us to some interesting and beautiful places like the neighborhood rose garden and community art project in parking garage. We didn’t hit all the places on the itinerary on the website, but we did see cool dragon boat races on the river.

Fantastic tour

Huirong_j, Sep 2025
Charlotte is the best tour guide! She is so thoughtful about the group( making sure everyone is safe and can enjoy the breeze while biking) and knowledgeable about the city. This is THE best way to know Portland!

Lovely day

Sophia_L, Aug 2025
My 10 year old kid was able to easily do the bike tour, mostly level. Bikes were in good condition. Lovely views. Tour was a little dry at times, but still happy we went on it.

Good guide, good bike,...

William_P, Aug 2025
Good guide, good bike, and great tour. Good introduction to Portland's cycle paths and Portland itself.

E-bike ride of downtown Portland

Lorise_W, Aug 2025
It is a great e-bike ride of 2 hours but not fast paced and they took many breaks. Our guide Tory was very passionate and knowledgeable about Portland. Learned a lot.

Cruising Portland

Ray_s, Jul 2025
Will learn a bit about Portland, the history of the bridges. The rose garden and some of the buildings.

Portland on e-bike…big thumbs up with Cycle Portland

Donald_A, Jul 2025
Bikes are clean and well maintained. The tour was informative and very interesting. It’s great to see Portland the way so many of the city’s residents get around. The city is definitely set up to make getting anywhere on bike simple and safe. Can’t say enough good things about our guide, Tory. He was so enthusiastic about the tour and the sites. Very knowledgeable, not to mention personable as well. He was a joy to spend a few hours with.

Fun with family

JodieLynn_H, Jul 2025
Absolutely had the best time. A great way to experience Portland. Highly recommend. My husband and I took our 4 kids...ages 13,16,18,22 and it was a perfect, active, fun thing to do together. Guide was great, learned fun facts. Nice route. There is a zipped basket on front of bike to hold your purse, phone, jacket....bring a bottled water, they do not provide water.

Great Portland by bike overview

Katie_B, Jul 2025
The tour went at a very good pace, the only down side was because of the size of the tour. we weren’t able to hear half the time. Overall, I’d still recommend it to other people.

City of Bridges

Linda_S, Jul 2025
Graciela took us on the perfect tour of the city's bridges, waterfronts, and parks. We found city hot spots to visit later like museums, shopping and dining areas. She knew a lot of the city's history and answered our questions. My bike seat needed to be raised a bit and she managed that at the first stop - easy peasy. I'm considering buying an e-bike and this was my first experience on one. It made the tour feel like the right amount of activity and leisure. Highly recommend.

Jaden gave us an awesome tour of Portland. We especially liked riding along the river.

Max_M, Jun 2025

I would 100% recommend this! I rode an ebike for the first time and it was amazing. My guide was super knowledgable and patient. I had such a great time!

Great tour

Nancy_B, Nov 2024
Pierce was so knowledgable about the city that he quickly gave us an affection for Portland. Even his restaurant suggestions were great!

Great way to experience Portland

Jennifer_G, Oct 2024
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.

Fantastic way to see the city!

Janelle_H, Sep 2024
I learned so much about Portland’s history and contemporary culture. Piers was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge from geology to sociology. I can’t recommend this bike tour enough and the e-bike made the hills a breeze.

Portland bike tour

Malu_D, Sep 2024
Great tour, good info and Charlotte was a fabulous guide ❤️🌈🙌 We all enjoyed it very much, especially the e-bikes ❤️

Fun times on bike!!!

Leah_T, Sep 2024
Exceptional tour of Portland on bike!! Bailey was fun and entertaining and taught us so much about the city. We are not bike riders but found these e-bikes very easy to use and never had any safety issues or concerns. Everyone on our tour was retired couples. We all could keep up just fine with our e-bikes. I was concerned about riding around cars and how safe we would feel given our inexperience with bikes but safety was never a concern. We felt like we were 10 years old again flying through our neighborhoods.
