    This urban route captures the spirit of the city as only a cyclist can feel it. There are lots of parks, and distinctive neighborhoods every few blocks. There are industrial areas, retail areas and residential areas. There’s the Willamette River and the view from the bridge. And there are cyclists everywhere!

    Note: After you cross the Hawthorne Bridge, take the bike path ramp down to Salmon Street Springs, and ride north along Waterfront Park. Ride for .7 miles until you reach the brick courtyard and turn left. Cross Naito Parkway and loop around to access the Burnside Bridge.

    Motorized Vehicle Traffic: Moderate to heavy
