Street Art of Portland 2-Hour Bike Tour

Overview

Portland's street art culture is older than any of us, but until the past decade, the culture was a shadowy one. Thanks to support from a strong collective of street artists, the inner Eastside is the heart of the intense, passionate street art scene. Start in that heart, where we will safely fit you for a bike and helmet, ready for a sweet 4-6 mile/8-10 km ride to visit some of the oldest art forms and canvases (wheat paste and an incredible user-created skate park) and some of the newest (cool spray paint styles and brand-new buildings made for art).

You'll learn about graffiti culture and some of our long-time favorite artists and the city's newest darlings, pass by cool old import shops filled with art inside and out, learn how the art culture is connected to the protest scene, and leave with a phone packed with vibrant photos!

Bikes, helmets and water provided.

What To Expect

Portland

After fitting for a bike and helmet at Around Portland Tours' shop at 833 SE Main #124, we'll head out to the streets of Portland for a slow-paced ride through the Central Eastside industrial district. We'll ride into the Hawthorne District, home to coffee roasters and breweries.

Cargo

The import shop is such a haven for artists, that its building has long played host to one of the most colorful and popular pieces of street art. Occasionally (on rainy days!) we visit the shop for an immersion into local and international art.

Portland

The inner eastside industrial district is a profusion of art. Nearly every building is a canvas — either unauthorized or authorized. We’ll stop multiple times in the inner eastside to describe, discuss and photograph our favorite pieces.

Burnside Bridge

We will pass under the Burnside Bridge and see the art installations on the Eastside bridgehead

I had a great time, and see the city differently after the tour. Kelly, our guide, was great at managing the bike riding aspect, showed us a variety of interesting art, and told us some great stories. It was fun, and enriching.

We booked this tour for a chance to explore the artistic side of the city, to celebrate our anniversary. It was a great experience. Kelly our tour guide was so kind and very patient with us. We didn't have gloves and it was freezing that day, and she provided us with some. We hadn't ridden bikes in years and needed time to practice so she let us practice for as long as we needed (which took us 30 minutes😅) We didn't feel pressured or rushed at all, which was very much appreciated. The tour was awesome. Very amazing art worth seeing. 😊

we are so glad you loved our art and it was so nice to have Kelly work with you on the bikes -- one of our favorite things is to get people more comfortable riding their bike. we hope you went home with great pictures and a passion for biking more in your own city!
