Pedalpalooza is a 2-week bicycle with over 200 mostly free events happening all over Portland and Vancouver. You don’t need to be a hardcore rider to enjoy these welcoming, fun events. In fact, one of the events is a leisurely ride is honoring the history of Woodlawn! This ride is organized by Gregg Lavender, who also coordinated our Friends of Trees planting.

June 23rd – 5:30pm – 7:30pm – Ladd Circle
Why are the Woodlawn neighborhood and the Ladd’s neighborhood strees crooked? Why is Couch Street not pronounced “Couch Street”? Where were the streetcar tracks before they were torn out? How did the parks get named?

Come ride on an historic tour of Portland with a local historian leaving from one crooked neighborhood (Ladd’s Addition) headed to another (Woodlawn). We will make little stops for discussion several times along the way. The trip will end at Woodlawn Park which is very near Good Neighbor Pizzaria on NE Dekum and 8th.
