Sunday Parkways - The People Powered Festival

According to bikeportland.org - there’s a lot of buzz around town for the City of Portland’s third Sunday Parkways event this weekend. PBOT and scores of volunteers will create a nine-mile, people-powered festival through Southeast Portland that is sure to draw thousands to the streets. Adding to the fun this Sunday is a performance by the Ginger Ninjas, a bike-powered band led by Xtracycle co-founder Kipchoge Spencer.

The two-loop Sunday Parkways route will go through Buckman, Kerns, Laurelhurst, Richmond, and Sunnyside neibghborhoods. One of the loops is a relatively flat, and the other, more challenging one tackles Portland’s famous urban volcano, Mt. Tabor.

Given Southeast Portland’s well-known love for street culture, carfree living, and a two-wheeled way of life, this Sunday Parkways could break records for attendance. It’s also the last of three such events this year, so many folks who have not been able to make the other two, might be showing up in Southeast to join the fun.
