Road bike rentals Portland/Vancouver
 
I will be travelling to the Willamette Valley this October to visit my wife's nephew in Vancouver. I spent nine months in Portland in 1976/77 (ship over haul, USS Mt Vernon) and would like to do some biking while there. This will be my first trip there since then. Are there decent road bike rentals in the area?

Vancouver, no. Portland: http://bikeportland.org/2009/08/19/w...portland-22171

BTW: my wife and I moved here from inland northern San Diego (Rancho Bernardo). I think you'll want to stay.

Veloce in SE Portland on Howethorne rents road bikes.
Enjoy!

Thanks Jeff. I found two good shops. One rents Masi (what I ride now), but are three day minimum, and I'll only be able to spend one day riding. The other, Everybody's Bike Rentals, looks like a killer little shop, and I really like his inventory of "old Steel".

I used to work at the Sony plant in RB back in the eighties. They tore it down in 2006. I guess no one is buying Trinitron CRT's anymore. :rolleyes:

Gee, ya think? My wife worked at Hewlett-Packard across the street from Sony. HP brought us up here, but all of the inkjet manufacturing is offshore now. We both do software-ish jobs now- bike stuff is just a hobby.

Camas Bike & Sport rents Specialized Roubaix's too if you wanted to stay on the WA side. $50/day or $15/hr.
