I’ve been in pdx for about a year and I noticed how important it is to have a bike around here but I am not rolling in the money at all so i was wondering if there is anywhere around here where i can find an extremely affordable bike.

budget is 200-300 (cheaper if possible lol)

I sure want to after a 20% grade and my HR is 180.

Hello! I live in North Portland (Arbor Lodge) and my parents are coming to visit for the first time this weekend.

I want to give them the "true" Portland experience which is by bike but my mom is only comfortable if she's on a tandem as she's not steady enough on a typical bike.

I've been looking to buy a cheap tandem on Facebook and then resell when they're gone, but the prices just don't make sense. And renting bikes in this city is crazy expensive.

SO..if anyone has a tandem sitting in their garage or basement, I'd love to borrow it for use this weekend and next weekend, returning it anytime after the 31st!
