Cycle Portland Bike Tours & Rentals

We did the City tour with Neel. It was very informative and a great use of two hours. These types of tours the guide always makes or breaks. And neel was awesome. So far best two hours of our trip!

We rented bikes (the 8-​speeds) and had a great few hours cruising around the city. The equipment is top notch and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommend!

Went on a tour while we were in Portland for a girls weekend. Our tour guides were knowledgable and fun to talk to. It rained but they provided us with swishy waterproof outfits. They even offered us warm tea after the ride since we were chilly! Such a nice gesture :) they also told us the locals donut shop so we could avoid the huge lines at Voo Doo. I would definitely recommend these guys.

So the rental company contacted me and apologized for the confusion and refunded the trailer rental. I was kind of hoping they would refund the difference and they really surprised me with the entire amount. There’s a good chance I would have went back before this remedy, now it’s a definite. Thank you!

Awesome time renting from them.
Great service. Clean bikes. Good price.
Would highly recommend renting from them.

This tour is probably one of the most fun activities I’ve ever done! I planned the foodie bike tour for 10 girls for my best friend’s bachelorette party. My bachelorette is a foodie, loves sports, and wanted to explore the Portland area — I figured this was the perfect combination of all three things!
I planned this whole tour from LA. I called a couple times to clarify the tour, timings, precautions for the rain, etc. Everybody I spoke to on the phone was extremely helpful and kind. Our tour was confirmed the day before our trip and we were told Sierra would be our guide. They had all the bikes ready for us (when they called they had asked for everybody’s height), gave us ponchos for the rain, went over the route/​expectations and got everybody pumped up for the ride!
Our stops were perfect: coffee, food carts, dessert. The food was absolutely delicious! Coffee: Cup and Bar, Food cards: PBJ’s, potato champion, dessert: 50 licks.
Sierra was amazing, helpful, hilarious, and a great tour guide. I highly highly recommend this tour to everybody. Even though it was raining, our groups spirits were high — the stops were a great opportunity to get dry and the company equipped us well for the rain.
Tips: bring gloves, especially if it’s rainy and cold — it will make a world of difference.
Extra note: one of our group members wasn’t sure if she’d be able to ride a bike on the main roads. Sierra and Guthrie (I hope I’m spelling that right), were awesome about having her try and when she realized she wouldn’t be able to finish the tour, Guthrie came back and picked her up.
Final words: Do this tour, you’ll work hard, but the experience is definitely worth it.

My wife and I visited Portland for a few days. On our first day we took this bike tour and it was the perfect way to start off our visit. Neither of us had been to Portland before and it was a good way to see the city and get some info about what we should do for the next few days. The ride wasn’t very hard even for our inexperience and lack of leg mussels. We even went back to rent bikes and rode around ourselves. I would suggest taking the tour first to familiarize yourself with the way of the bike in the city.

What a great full-​service bike shop! Mike is the best mechanic in the world – he tried everything to figure out what was wrong with my seized rear hub, ultimately discovering an unusual error made by a previous mechanic. He fixed it all up and returned my wheel better than it started. On top of that, he’s always super patient and doesn’t condescend when explaining bike-​y stuff to me. The service pricing is also fair and balanced. I never feel overcharged, in fact it always seems like I get more than I paid for in terms of care and quality.
They also have a decent selection of parts and accessories, plus friendly staff and great beer! It’s my go-​to place for maintenance and repairs.

Sierra is the best bike tour guide/​opera singer/​beer connoisseur in Portland!!! We had a great time pub hopping and touring the city. The entire crew at Cycle Portland was great. Thanks for the memories!
— a big fan from Oakland.

This tour was a rather unique one. It rained (of course), but that didn’t stop us from biking around the city. I felt safe with the route taken, and the tour guide was courteous on slowing down when I fell behind. He picked Base Camp and… I can’t remember the other brewery; but they were good choices for someone who knows very little about beer. We got a pint of beer at the end in the shop and got to keep the glass.
The tour guide wasn’t very talkative, so my sister had to drive most of the conversation to get people talking. It threw me off a little, but overall the tour was great.

Easily one of the non-​food highlights of my trip. Such a simple pleasure turned into such a fun time.
We found cycle Portland shortly after leaving the Chinese garden down the street and decided on biking around the city and trying something new. Upon coming in, the shop was clean and full of bikes (single speed, multi speed and even electric) and bike accessories. The two gentlemen working were super friendly, helpful and didn’t have the pretentious flair some bike shops in sf have. They sized us for two bikes (we opted for the single speed aka fixies… because hipsters in portland), given helmets for our big ass heads and went over a map with the representative. He gave us tips on routes, bridges, to-do’s and even food trucks. You can even get a pint of rouge beer in their shop! Say no mas.
The bikes were smooth, well maintained fun to ride. Portland is super bike friendly and motorists are nice not to run you off the road, so that’s a plus. The best part?! THE BIKES WERE $ 5 AN HOUR. We had them for about 2 hours, totaling $ 20 for both of us. This was definitely the best (and cheapest!) way to see Portland. It was so much fun, we are now looking at buying bikes of our own in sf.
Highly HIGHLY recommended to anyone visiting Portland.

For all my fellow Californians traveling to Portland for the first time and looking for a fun way to experience the city while sampling some choice bites/​drinks, this is a great choice! I was lucky enough to enjoy a small group (4 of us including the two tour guides) so the experience was especially interactive. We started right along Waterfront Park learning a bit of history about the city, then proceeded to bike at a casual pace to the other side of the river and make a big loop around the east side as we sampled some coffee at a local roastery, some epic sandwiches at one of the city’s première food pods, and some chocolatey concoctions at a local confectionary.
Biking has always been my favorite way to experience a new city and this excursion absolutely allowed me to see it through the eyes of local experts and taste it through some choice foodie destinations. Tour guides were super friendly and had plenty of insights to share about the city that went beyond just a history lesson. Also, this was by no means an all-​day affair, so you’ll have plenty of time to do some exploring in the afternoon/​evening as well. FYI you do not have to be a foodie to appreciate this bike ride, it’s very accessible to anyone.

FOR BIKE RENTALS: I rented a cheap one-​speed bike from this place for $ 5 an hour. FIVE DOLLARS. PER HOUR. Filled out a form on the iPad, put down a deposit — we were in and out of the shop in 5 minutes.
We rode around for 2 hours along the Willamette River and across the new Tilikum Crossing bridge. Would definitely recommend this — this easy trail was one of my favorite parts of my stay in Portland! I had no trouble with my bike the entire ride, and since Portland was flat and bike-​friendly, I didn’t need multiple speeds on the bike either. Even the steepest inclines in the city were doable on the one-​speed bike. They provided a helmet too, free of charge.
The guys here are really knowledgeable about bikes and about Portland itself. We asked them a lot of questions about what trails to take, and they gave us free maps with bike trails printed on them! Next time I visit Portland, I’ll definitely check out one of the tours.

My wife, millennial son and friends and I took the brewery tour (Brews Cruise) yesterday and had a blast. Our tour guide Alexa was awesome and very informative. We drove in and there is a parking lot across the street which was $ 6 which was very convenient. Signed a waiver, bikes and helmets were fitted and off we went. Beautiful ride along the river to our first stop in south east Portland, the Lucky labrador Brewing Company. We did the tasters and had a side order of hummus and bread. The beer was very good and the Superdog IPA was the favorite for our group. Will definitely get a keg of Superdog for our next big party. One of the better IPA’s I have in awhile. The hummus was good too. The next step was the Base Camp brewery which has a couple of food trucks in front of it. We got bulgogi burritos from Bo Kwon’s Koi Fusion food truck which was very good. The beer was good, but not as good as the first stop but the ambience was great and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Easy ride back to the shop where they poured another pint of IPA and we received a complimentary pint glass. The tour ran from 2−430PM and costs $ 49 which was a great value. This was our first bike tour in Portland and it was such a fun day. Traffic in Portland sucks and bikes are the best way to tour the city. The biking was easy and most people should be able to do it. Highly recommended.

We’re from Los Angeles, so we decided to rent some bikes instead of hauling ours on our road trip. Made a call same week as the Providence Bridge Pedal and they only had a limited number available. Rented two 8-​speed bicycles and it cost us $ 90 total. It was only that much because we had picked them up the night before since they wouldn’t open early enough for the day of the Bridge Pedal. Another bike shop I called did open extra early for the pedal but they didn’t have any bikes left when I made the call to reserve. Maybe that’s something Cycle Portland can consider doing for next year’s event. Other than that though, the rental experience was a good one. The workers are friendly, and although the bikes are older they appeared to be well kept… Lasted through the 35 miles bike ride with no issues. Thanks, Cycle! Without you, we would not have been able to experience the Pedal!

The tour was awesome, we got to bike around a section of Portland, grab a cup of coffee, had lunch at one of the food pod, and chocolate at one of the local shop. The tour was everything I expected it to be, I was a happy camper. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Portland. The tour gave me a good idea of the city. The staff was super friendly and helpful as well.

Although this tour is small, and doesn’t go to as many places as other tours, it is one that we loved for that reason!
Lots of biking ensues on this tour, so be ready to pedal pedal pedal!
Alexa and omg I forgot the other girls name, but it starts with an «S» are the best to ride with, and they’re so informative about the city too!
I highly recommend this tour if you love to bike and eat!

Great experience. Walked in at 2 pm on Friday afternoon, and was mounted on a well maintained single speed in minutes. Two hours later, after a quick spin to Mt. Tabor (great views east and west) and then down to Spillwood along the river, and I was back at the shop (Caution: I typically ride 200 miles/​week, with 12 – 15,000 feet of climbing, so this may not be a typical 2 hour itinerary). $ 10. Yes, you read that correctly ($ 5/​hour). Even better was the great attitude by the two people that I met at the shop. What a pleasure to rent from!

I was in town for a weekend and wanted an easy way to get around town. I looked into a bunch of places but wanted to rent from somewhere with electric bikes.
The first day I rented a cheap and awesome one-​speed bike and biked around the area and also jumped on the train towards Washington Park.
The second day I decided I wanted to cover more ground and went for an electric bike, which was so much fun! It was convenient and much cheaper and more fun than renting a car. I think I covered a lot of ground and the guys at the shop were super helpful with pointing out places to go and providing a map.
Excellent customer service, convenient location, and good rates.

So so so so good! Shanel S. and I knew we just HAD to rent bikes while visiting one of the most bike-​friendly cities in the country! We walked by this place and decided to check it out on our way to the Burnside Bridge to checkout the Portland Stag sign! :)
We walked in and I CANNOT remember the guys named who helped us (super wonderful black guy? who are you!!!), but he was AMAZING! He helped us find a great route to see exactly what we wanted, and was helpful on getting our bikes and locks ready to go.
All the bikes come with a pouch in front, a bungee cord in the back, and a u-​lock that fits right inside the front pounch. Very lovely and useful!
The rates are really reasonable, and they also do tours if you want a more structured tour around Portland. We had a great time with our map we were given, and the suggestions given by Mr. Wonderful at the desk inside.
Thanks guys! We will be back!
