Pedal PT Palooza 2022 is now SOLD OUT!

Come join us this September for THE 'Physio Bike Summit' of the year to develop your Bike Friendly Physio + Bike Fit skills while enjoying all 'bike-perks' of Portland, OR!

Dates: Friday 9/16 afternoon through Sunday 9/18

Complete schedule / Itinerary is coming together, so stay tuned! 

Lodging: There are many options in the area, including Air BnB, VRBO, etc.  — I’d recommend trying to stay on the East side of the Willamette River, or preferably SouthEast part of Portland to lessen your travel time to the event.

Our neighborhood is called the Division/Clinton district if you are looking at lodging options, which is chocked full of unique restaurants, shops, and bars.

 Fun fact: Pedal PT is located on the corner of SE 25^th and Clinton Avenue, which boasts a staggering 4 to 6 thousand bike trips per day. . . no joke!    

 General notes on PDX weather: Average temperature in Portland in September ranges from 54deg to 75degrees, with generally about 5 days of rain throughout the month— So bring clothing to accommodate, including a rain shell, and/or arm/leg warmers, depending on your preference.

 Please bring a bike!

We’ll be having rides scheduled throughout the event, including some short city rides, as well as some optional, longer rides (20-30miles TBD) – Having a bike at the Event will also allow you to practice and work on Bike Fitting concepts, and maximize your very own Bike Fit, so it is well worth the efforts getting your bike out here!  

Renting a bike: If you choose to rent a bicycle, our top choice would be River City Bikes (706 SE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, OR 97214). which is one of the top bike shops in the entire USA, and well worth a visit when you are  in town anyways!

Any bike will do, but a road or gravel bike may be the best choice for the rides we have planned.  More information about RCB and availability can be found here:  www.rivercitybicycles.com

Shipping a bike: Shipping a bike can sometimes be the easiest way for many, and if you are going to go this route, we recommend using Bike Flights (www.bikeflights.co) who are based here in PDX! There are other options, but we have used them in the past will good results — If you are new to shipping your bike, Bike Flights has some good info for you, and your bike can be packed up and shipped by your local bike shop too!  If you are going to ship your bike, please reach out, and we’ll see if it’s best to ship to Pedal PT, versus a couple shops in the area who can get your bike built up (and also then be able to break it back down for you afterwards).   

Traveling with your bike: Many airlines will allow you to check a bike box, oftentimes for a fee (Southwest airlines is $75 one way), and I believe other airlines may allow you to check a bike for free, versus an additional fee- Be sure to check with your airline before heading out the door with your bike boxed up to avoid any confusion and unwanted costs!

PLEASE NOTE:

** Remember to allow adequate time/tools, etc to build your bike back up before the Course begins on Friday afternoon, as we’ll be riding to Speedvagen (<1mile away from Pedal P), and likely going for a short cruise to dinner/beers following (optional).   If you need help getting your bike built, please contact me and we can get something arranged at a local shop. **

 Safety and Bike Riding

Our goal is to offer you a diverse experience not only with your learning, but with your cycling as well— Cycling is inherently a dangerous activity, we all have different levels of experience, and crashes do happen! To ensure your safety, all riders must: 1) ride with a helmet, and 2) will need to sign a waiver prior to participating an any of your organized rides. 

Cancelation policy: 100% refund if  >90days prior to event;  50% refund >30days prior;  No refunds if cancellation less than 30 days from the event.
