Portland Bike Rental?

Tarckives Bikes

Sorry to be obnoxious and start a new thread, but I’m a bit down to the wire here.

I am heading to Portland today until Monday. I’d originally planned to borrow a friend of a friend’s bike to do a few rides, but it looks like that might fall though, so now I’m thinking I might try to rent something, at least for a day or two. Do any of you Portlanders know of a bike shop that rents road bikes… for reasonable prices? I searched and found lots of places that do hybrids, and one that does mountain bikes, but no roadies that I can see.

Thank you!

You can actually get a pretty nice frame made at one of the framebuilding carts in Alberta while you’re waiting for your poutine.

down for that as long as they put poutine in the tubes
so if get hungry on a ride i can just take out my seat
and have a little snack

The grease has excellent frame protection properties.

Make sure you don’t clean the raw denim stains on the saddle. He’s been working on those for a while and they’re just about perfect now.

Thank you! I booked something with them - way cheaper than other options, and the bike looks good!

you could borrow my single speed. its got fenders and wide riser bars so accommodates pretty much any size person. you could probably borrow the falcon instead, but depends on how long youre gonna be here since i imagine the weather will be iffy and i might wanna do some rainy road riding.
