I hate to tell you to go elsewhere for bike fun, but the annual summer festival in Portland, Pedalpalooza, is without a doubt Peak Bike Fun in the region.

You can find the schedule here.

The North Portland edition of Sunday Parkways will be on Sunday, the 22nd.

If you're going to be in Portland this month, find a congenial ride and make sure you take the bikes.

And maybe it'll inspire you to lead a ride here in Salem!
