21st Annual Providence Bridge Pedal Supports Community Health

Portland, OR. More than 18,000 cyclists criss-crossed the Willamette River using as many as ten of Portland’s bridges, which were closed to motorized traffic. The 21st Providence Bridge Pedal, on August 14th, offered spectacular views from atop the Marquam and Fremont bridges. Genevieve Klein, Isabel Klein and Mariel Klein pedaled through the course. A portion of the Providence Bridge Pedal proceeds will support community programs and initiatives that improve the health of the community.

Here are some snapshots from the nation’s second largest community bicycling event.

Next year’s Providence Bridge Pedal will be August 13, 2017.
