Last Weekend I had the privilege of receiving some PCIT (Portland cycling immersion therapy) and it came in the form of the Portland Bridge Pedal. ( http://www.providence.org)/bridgepedal/) This fund raising ride consists of thousands of cyclists (all types welcome) and directs you across the bridges of Portland. A sea of red, yellow and blue jersey wearing riders took over the streets and bridges that were closed to our friends in the four wheel kind of vehicle.

By riding with my local Portland friends (my own personal tour guides) and 25 miles of open lanes, I can’t think of a better way to immerse myself in the culture of Portland, OR.
I encourage Long Beach residents to tour our communites by bike (the LBCIT way) I’m convinced that it’s the best way!
