BIKETOWN 2016 Report: Survey shows BIKETOWN supports local business, tourism and reduces car trips.
Welcome to 2017! We're well on our way to a stellar year and before we get too far along, we'd like to take a quick look back at an impressive 2016. We launched Portland’s bike share program on July 19th, took over 160K rides, hosted our first Women’s Bike Month, and kicked off BIKETOWN for All in October. It was a busy year, but we’re just getting started!
Our members are a hearty bunch with a couple of hundred rides in the snow storm last week! After all the design, as we've noted before, offers an upright riding position for great visibility and stability.
Delivering on its promise to develop an equitable bike share system, Portland’s bike share program, BIKETOWN, announced a new program today called BIKETOWN for All.
Visit http://womensbikemonth.com/ for more info about #womensbikemonth, 2018! BIKETOWNpdx is hosting its first Women’s Bike Month - #womenwhobike - to celebrate the women in bike share and encourage more women to give this rapidly growing and popular transportation option a try. Currently, women only account for 34 percent of all bike share members nationally and BIKETOWNpdx wants to see that change.
Where to find them, what the law says & how to use them. One of the keys to the success of BIKETOWN has been spontaneous trips. It's easy, affordable and convenient to jump on a bike and go! Trips like these, by their nature, don't typically include a helmet. After all, most people don't carry a helmet with them, even in Portland. That doesn't mean future trips have to be helmet-free.
