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 #124, 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!

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this bike tour? Can kids join?

A: The bike tour is great for older kids and teens! They recommend kids around 12 and up can comfortably ride the bikes. If you’ve got younger ones, you might want to check with them to see if they could handle the ride and the food stops. It’s definitely a fun experience for families!

Q: Is it easy to reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes, the vendor is pretty flexible with rescheduling! Just reach out to them at least 48 hours in advance if you can’t make it. They’ll help you find a new date that works. It’s super helpful if plans change last minute.

Q: What’s the best way to dress for this tour? Any recommendations?

A: Definitely dress in layers! Portland weather can be unpredictable. I’d recommend comfortable clothes and shoes, since you’ll be biking around. A light jacket or sweatshirt is a good idea in case it gets chilly. Oh, and don’t forget sunscreen!

I wanna try the Food Carts of Portland Bike Tour, but I’m not the most confident bike rider. I’ve heard it’s around 8-12 miles, which makes me a bit anxious. Is it tough? How are the bike paths in Portland?
