A new business called Pedal Portland in Portland, Oregon wants you to get that bicycle out of the garage and onto the road:
Paulsen’s idea is to offer personal, one-on-one consultations designed to take the guess-work out of riding bikes. Whether you have a bike and just aren’t confident to start riding it around town yet, or if you are completely new to riding, Paulsen wants to help.
He offers two packages and also has pricing for couples and families. For $90, Paulsen will help you get set up for errands and riding in city traffic. Once the bike is properly equipped, he’ll help you find the best routes in your neighborhood and then accompany you on your first ride, offering tips and insights along the way. A similar package for folks without a bike runs $150 with the added service of bike purchasing guidance.
