Biking in Gresham

Here’s a chance to shift gears – and travel by bike. In addition to bike projects the City is working on, like new bike routes, check out this page for resources and events in Gresham.

Bike Month

May is National Bike month, a celebration of biking as transportation, recreation and an opportunity to encourage more people to give biking a try. Biking is a great way to improve your health, reduce vehicle emissions and enjoy our neighborhoods.

Each year, the City plans events to encourage people to get outside and get riding together.

Bike Repair Events

Need a basic bike repair? Bikes for Humanity will provide free basic bike repairs near the Coho picnic shelter in Main City Park, located at 219 S. Main Ave.

You can also donate an old bike (that is in decent shape) and it will be repaired for someone new.
