After being named runner-up in Bike Magazine's last round of best bike city rankings in 2010, Portland circled back around and reclaimed the top spot in 2013. The only large city to earn Platinum status from the League of American Bicyclists is a paragon of bike-friendliness, with 180 miles of bike lanes and 79 miles of off-street bike paths.

Among the city's many bike shops is newcomer Go By Bike, which is located under the aerial tram and offers valet parking, rentals, and repairs.
