Christmas in Vancouver on Two Wheels

Christmas in Vancouver on Two Wheels

Vancouver is a great place to discover by bicycle throughout our warm summers. However, the city lights up over the holiday season and hosts numerous activities and events to get you into the spirit of the season. For our family, it has become a tradition to bundle up and set out to any number of activities throughout Vancouver on bicycles. With a portable stereo on hand, we enjoy the twinkling lights and get into the Christmas spirit while listening to some of our favourite Indie Christmas songs.

People will get to explore community gardens...

Gluten-Free Globetrotting Your Way Through Portland

As someone living with Celiac Disease for more than thirty years, all of Erin’s travels have always been gluten-free. She’s been to 28 states, 18 countries, 3 continents, and always 100% gluten-free!

According to Erin, Portland is one of the most gluten-free friendly cities in the world with many completely gluten-free bakeries and restaurants. This tour allows you to embrace your gluten-freedom while trying many delectable and safe, gluten-free treats along the way. Come hungry! While we will stop and admire the beauty of Portland's waterfront, mountain views, and rose gardens, the purpose of this tour is to EAT your way through this gluten-free friendly city.

School Gardens of Madison

The Wisconsin School Garden Initiative encourages you to grab a camera and hop on your bike for this picturesque ride featuring youth gardens on Madison's north side.  In addition to being great scenery, youth gardens offer a host of benefits.  They provide access to fresh fruits and vegetables, create opportunities to be active outside, and introduce children to ecological principles.  This route highlights three youth gardens: Gompers Elementary, Lake View Elementary, and the Troy Kids' Garden that all combine produce, education, and fun!

We joined 1000 friends to kick-off Pedalpalooza and summer in Portland.

"You forgot to put your spare tires in the truck" My brain wasn't working this morning, but my @urbanarrow certainly was...wheelbarrowed the tires 1/4 block from my house. Ecargobikes and a 15 minute city for the win 🏆
