Clever Cycles + BikeLoudPDX: Become a Bike Buddy
We’re proud to support BikeLoudPDX’s Bike Buddy program—a community-powered effort to help new and returning riders gain the confidence and know-how to navigate Portland by bike. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just getting started, this is your chance to make biking safer, easier, and more fun for everyone.
How It Works
- Sign up at BikeLoudPDX.org as a rider or volunteer Bike Buddy.
- Fill out a short questionnaire about your riding experience, neighborhood, and schedule.
- You’ll be matched with someone near you based on availability and riding needs.
- Go for a casual ride together—no pressure, just support. You might try a school commute, practice loading bikes on transit, or explore a local low-stress route.
Whether you’re looking for guidance or offering it, the Bike Buddy program makes it easier to say “yes” to everyday biking.
Who It's For
- New riders curious about bike commuting
- Parents navigating school drop-offs by bike
- Experienced cyclists who want to give back
- Anyone who believes Portland should be more bike-friendly
Why Clever Cycles Supports This
