Let's practice putting our bikes on the bus! Multi-modal bike+bus trips open up a world of possibilities and access to places far away, exhaustingly hilly, and otherwise hard to reach. Get in the mood by perusing TriMet's How to Load Your Bike on the Bus photo tutorial: https://trimet.org/bikes/bikesonbuses.htm and watching this awesome video from PBOT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-dzYFaW13M If music videos are more your thing, rock out to I Put My Bike On The Bus (but know our hooks are easier than those ones!): https://youtu.be/boiQKDHq7nk We'll start with a chill four-mile ride past TriMet Lost & Found (where bikes forgotten on buses end up) and across Tilikum Crossing ("The Transit Bridge") to end at the PSU Transportation Information Center. The demonstration rack is indoors--masks are encouraged. Requirements for fitting on the rack: * Wheel sizes 20-29 inches * Wheelbase up to 44 inches * Tires up to 2.35 inches wide * 55 pounds and under If your bike doesn't fit the bill, still come and borrow a bike at the rack. Stick around for the Shemanski Park Farmers Market (10-2) after our event. https://www.portlandfarmersmarket.org/our-markets/shemanski-park/
