Route for the May 5th EPAPbike Tour: The Good, The Bad, & The Unimproved.

Make Better Biking in East Portland!

Our mission is to make biking in East Portland safer and more fun!

Please join EPAPbike to promote the best biking in East Portland! We meet every month and welcome your enthusiasm, energy, and ideas! Our meetings are at 6:30, every third Thursday, at EPNO, 1017 NE 117th (at Holladay, under the "Hazelwood" water tower.)

Currently, we are working with the Portland Bureau of Transportation to implement over $20 million in bike & sidewalk improvements throughout East Portland over the next two summers, as part of the East Portland In Motion Active Transportation Implementation Strategy (EPIM), which was adopted by the Portland City Council on April 18th!

Have questions or ideas? Want to get involved? Contact us at EPAPbike [at] gmail [dot] com (EPAPbike [at] gmail [dot] com)!

We also sponsor periodic events and educational bike tours during the year. To find out what we have done this previous summer, check out our Past Events page.
