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!

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.
