Parkrose Pedal is an annual community cycling and walking event that centers youth and student culture, vibrancy and freedom. It’s an event that is the quintessential -‘Both/And’- because it is an opportunity to gather in community for physical joy. 

And, it’s also our youth taking up space in ways that affirm their right to exist unapologetically and without interruption. A space where traditional cycling culture and urban bike culture collide. At least until they shake hands.

Last year we started as a small campus at Prescott Elementary celebrating a new school year, new principal and new COVID restrictions that made us feel like a bike ride around the community could do us some good. And it did us better than we could have imagined! 

With more than 300 families showing up, Prescott began a tradition that has now enveloped our entire school district. And we’re just getting started!
