North Portland Sunday Parkways Portland Pedicabs Tour


What a wonderful Sunday! Portland Pedicabs enjoyed pedaling some lovely ladies along the North Portland Sunday Parkways route in our pedicab.  We encircled the entire course pedaling the gals in wonderful weather.  They delighted in the wind blowing through their hair and were excited to use our Portland Pedicab to participate in such a uniquely Portland event!  

Portland Pedicabs is happy to provide our Sunday Parkways Pedicab Tour at every one of Portland's Sunday Parkways.  Please think of us for your friends and family. Our Pedicabs are a great way for everyone to enjoy Sunday Parkways!

The U of O Duck, "Puddles" pedals a Portland Pedicab!
Portland Pedicabs was honored to pedal the U of O Ducks as the grand Marshall of the 2011 Grand Floral Rose Parade.  We customized our Portland Pedicab with floral decorations, custom Ducks signage, and a stereo system to play the U of O Ducks fight song!

It was such a treat to pedal the U of O Duck and company in the parade and celebrate their amazing year on the field!  Thanks for using Portland Pedicabs!

Portland Police make safer streets for Pedestrians & Nightlife

To the Portland Police Bureau, Portland Public, and Portland press,

The Bicycle Business League would like to thank the Portland Police Bureau for
undertaking innovative pedestrian safety measures in Portland's Entertainment
District.

Portland's Entertainment district is a bustling nightlife scene in the Old
Town/Chinatown Neighborhood. The success of this nightlife district has 
occurred rapidly and draws patrons from all over the Portland region and the
Northwest. The customers of these clubs, restaurants, and bars enliven the
sidewalks every weekend night. Unfortunately, many automobiles cruise this
district, often at high speeds and often unaware of crosswalks. Customers of
this district walking to and from clubs are often put in extreme danger by
reckless vehicle cruising in the Entertainment District.

The Portland Police Bureau has recently implemented innovative measures to
decrease vehicular cruising in the Entertainment District by closing Couch
Street from 2nd Avenue NW to 4th Avenue NW to private vehicles. This is a intelligent
approach to resolving aggressive cruising in a business district that relies on
people actively walking from venue to venue. This approach also focuses on
private vehicle cruising, while allowing professional vehicle drivers to safely
deliver customers throughout the Entertainment District.

The Bicycle Business League would like to express appreciation to the Portland
Police Bureau for implementing innovative pedestrian safety methods in the
Entertainment District. We would like to thank Police Chief Mike
Reese for helping to create a safer experience for the thousands of weekly
customers of Portland's Entrainment District.

The Bicycle Business League advocates for safe, active transportation and
commerce.
