Hey all. I've got a job interview Friday out in sw PDX, near Tigard. It's right at the junction of I-5 and 271. I google mapped it and it looks like the best way to bike out there would be naito pkwy to pacific hwy, then follow that along I-5 all the way out to SW Hall blvd, which will take me to the road the office is on. Does this sounds bikeable? I've never biked south on naito pkwy, and I have no idea if pacific hwy (aka 99 W) is bikeable at all. Are there other, better options, or does this sound feasible? Thanks guys! I just really don't want to pay for the bus when I could get a sweet 10-mile commute out of this job possibility.

Barbur/99W/Pac. Hwy is bikable from downtown all the way to Hall Blvd and further...but it is a little scetchy in spots. I'd highly recommend riding it at least once or twice on a weekend to learn the route and quirks in the road before adding heavy traffic into the mix.

I've also found the turns and climbs of the northern-most part of Terwilliger (around OHSU) much more enjoyable than the same stretch of Barbur Blvd. But either way you start out, you'll be on 99W for much of the route.

I find the Barbur (99W) is bikable anytime I've tried it as I find car traffic is on the light side vs other routes. And it does have a bike lane most of the way.

Or you can take Max to Beaverton Transit or Beaverton Central and take Hall Blvd into Tigard. Then you'd have to take side streets to the 217/I-5 area. There is a bike path in that area that may help, it's near I-5 off of 72nd.
