Food Carts of Portland Bike Tour: local flavors and stories

Overview
Portland’s famous food carts are scattered all over the city's five (now six) quadrants, over 600 in total, in over 60 pods — collections of food carts! Starting at our shop, 833 SE Main Street #121, we'll put you on one of our lightweight bicycles and guide you on a 8-12 mile (11-17 km) culinary experience through some of our best-loved chefs and makers, sampling everything from Oregon farm-to-table delights to snacks appropriate to late-night cravings.

Our focus is on locally-owned businesses with a great story; we’ll take you to a few of our favorites, many of which were important in creating the food cart scene as it exists today. Without these unique and passionate people, we may not have even half of what Portland offers to residents and guests alike. Expect flavors and fusions that tell not only a culinary, but also a cultural, tale. Bikes, helmets and plentiful food samples provided.

We keep groups small, so you'll have an intimate experience with your passionate guides!

What To Expect
1
Ladd's Addition
In the Ladd's Addition neighborhood is the heart of the original food cart scene and we'll set the scene by trying some of our favorite coffee and discussing our route for the day.
2
Hawthorne
Hawthorne Boulevard is part of our hometown story: the heart of all that's delicious, funky, and hippie, a thoroughfare with a street food soul! We'll ride into our personal and the city's foodie history (this goes back over a century!) and stop at a special coffee food cart made in a unique vehicle. Here we'll get some caffeinated beverage (if that's what you like) to begin our day!

My wife and I were somewhat familiar with Portland but we wanted to know more about the food truck scene. This tour fit the bill. And doing this on bikes was an even better way to get around. We visited and sampled food from trucks in SE Portland and got a history lesson about Ladd’s Addition, the pricy neighborhood “gated community” without gates! Highly recommend this excursion for anyone who likes exploring different cuisines.

Great bike ride with Dustin and Rachel. I’m not a confident bike rider (to say the least) but am so glad I did this. We saw parts of Portland we would never have seen, experienced what a truly bike-friendly city is like, and tasted some great food-cart food. Highly recommend

Dustin took 3 of us on a spin around the SE neighborhoods on bikes and over fed us with amazing and delicious dishes from various food trucks in different food pods. The riding was through bike friendly neighborhood streets and easy-going for the most part. Good time, fresh air, and some exercise to neutralize all the eating!
