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.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this bike tour, and what if my friend isn't an experienced rider?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the bike tour, but it’s really best suited for teens and adults since it does involve a bit of riding around the city. If your friend isn't super experienced, don't worry! The pace is pretty chill, and they fit you for the bike and helmet, so there’s a good chance they’ll be fine. Just make sure they feel comfortable on a bike before going!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather looks rough, Around Portland Tours is pretty good about rescheduling. You just need to call or email them at least a day before your scheduled tour. They want everyone to have a great time, so they’ll work with you to find a better date. Just keep an eye on the forecast!

Q: What should I wear for the bike tour? Any tips for comfort?

A: Definitely wear comfortable clothing and shoes! You’ll be riding for about two hours, so loose-fitting clothes are best. Also, consider layering since it can get chilly in the morning. And don’t forget sunscreen if it’s sunny—there’s not much shade on some parts of the ride!

Thinking about gifting the Street Art Bike Tour in Portland!

I’m considering this bike tour for my partner's birthday. We both love art, and Portland’s street art scene looks amazing! I read you get to see some really cool pieces and learn about the artists, which is right up our alley. Does anyone have suggestions for a good day or time to go? Also, how easy is parking near the starting point?

Just did the Street Art Bike Tour—what an experience!

I just got back from the bike tour and it was incredible! The guide was super knowledgeable, and we saw everything from old-school wheat pastes to new spray paint pieces. The ride was easy, even for a beginner like me. Loved how they provided the bikes and water. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Portland or even locals wanting to see the city differently!
