Getting Around
Just up the street you can rent a bike via Biketown. Pick up and drop off somewhere else in the city. It is fun to bike from our home, down around the water front, cross the Steel Bridge and then the Tilikum crossing. It is also fun to bike to the Farmers Market at Portland State on a Saturday morning.
