We are all about sustainability at Portland Pedal Power. Of course, when you work at a business where you work primarily by bike in Portland, it’s practically a requirement. That’s why we are so excited about Lloyd Eco Fair!

In celebration of Earth Month, Lloyd EcoDistrict is organizing the first annual Eco Fair in the Lloyd District. We’re teaming up with PacifiCorp and Lloyd Center to bring together local businesses and organizations for a two-day event to promote sustainable practices in our community. Join us to make the Lloyd District a great place to live, work and play!

The fair is a two day event, April 10th – 11th, from 11Am -2PM, and will feature fun activities for kids and adults, DIY workshops, and information about innovative community resources. Attendees will learn about urban farming opportunities, build a free bike bucket, get the inside scoop on Lloyd Center renovations and housing developments in the Lloyd District, and take our Coffee Cup Eco-Challenge.

Other vendor booths will include Go Lloyd’s Lloyd Links program for live trip-planning assistance, PacifiCorp’s Blue Sky and Wattsmart programs, information on the LEED Platinum Hassalo on Eighth project, along with many more of the innovative green resources in the Lloyd District. Saturday will feature multiple kid-friendly activities and interactive entertainment.

The fair will be held at Nordstrom Plaza and Court at Lloyd Center, found at 2201 Lloyd Center, Portland, OR 97232. Click here for directions!

Everyone has their own individual look, especially here in Portland. That’s why we are very excited to show off some of our newly acquired swag! Walz Cycling Caps has taken to Portland by storm, bringing with them a unique style we know you want to see.

Walz Caps are made from one of three types of fabric: Moisture Whicking Wool, Cotton-Blend, and Eco-friendly. The caps come in one of three designs, and can fit anyone, “from pinheads to melon heads or those in between.”

Says Walz Cycling Caps: Our cycling caps earn their reputation for quality and function because they are created with the individual cyclist in mind. Our cycling caps’ global popularity has allowed us to expand production while still keeping our handmade production in the United States. Our customers are raving about the fit, fashion and function our cycling caps provide at a remarkable value.

And when we say unique style, we mean unique. Walz Caps can be customized to fit your stylistic needs, whether they may be. If you can design it, they can sublimate, silkscreen, or embroider your own hat right here in the USA. Check out their customization page for more information.
