Paseo rápido en bici de Lents a Portland

This ride takes you from the vibrant neighborhood of Lents in Southeast Portland all the way into downtown Portland itself—a cool route if you’re looking to experience a cross-section of the city! Lents is known for its diverse community and lovely parks, while your destination, Portland’s urban core, is famous for its indie spirit, food carts, and riverside views.

The route’s just under 14.5 km (about 9 miles), making it a solid ride—long enough to get the blood pumping but chill enough for most riders. You’ll mostly enjoy quiet roads and some pleasant bike paths, cruising through residential areas and a few city parks. There’s a gentle ascent at the start but more downhill later on, so you’ll pick up some speed as you approach the city center.

Most of your route has paved surfaces (asphalt and concrete), so you’re set for a smooth roll—just keep an eye out for a few stretches where surface info is missing, possibly some less-maintained spots. In all, it’s a friendly city-to-heart-of-the-city ride—grab some coffee at either end and enjoy the ride!
