Portland's bike rental program, BIKETOWN, expanded Friday. Bicycles for those with disabilities are now available.
John Brady, Communications Director for the Portland Bureau of Transportation, says adaptive BIKETOWN is a major step towards fulfilling the founding vision of BIKETOWN to be a bike share system for all people.
The program kicked off with a ceremony at Kerr Bikes on southeast Water Avenue. The ceremony included City Commissioners Dan Saltzman and Chloe Eudaly, P-BOT Director, Leah Treat and Jeff Carr, the CEO of Albertina Kerr.
A bike ride followed the ceremony with a reception at the end. Brady says Kerr Bikes is their partner in the program, which is where you can rent adaptive bikes.
