Come have Some Breakfast on the Bridges with Bowery Bagels

PortlandPedalPowerBikeBridgeEverybody loves Breakfast. It’s the meal that sets the stage for the whole day, so you gotta make it count. But sometimes, you have to cut breakfast short if you have a long commute, which means your breakfast might consist of whatever you can grab on the go.

So come enjoy a good breakfast this Friday! May 29th kicks off the first Breakfast on the Bridges, a great service hosted by the Shift community.

On the last Friday of every month during the summer season, Shift hands out pastries coffee, fruit, and sometimes even biscuits and gravy to cycling commuters crossing the bridges. Instead of rushing to get across the bridge, this event gives you a chance to stop for a minute, enjoy some good food, and take in the scenery from one of Portlands many bridges. This Friday, May 29th, you will find them on Steel bridge(esplanade east side), Hawthorne bridge (westbound off ramp), and Burnside bridge(east end, westbound) starting at 7:15 AM.

Portland Pedal Power will be there, so come say hi! We will have some delicious baked goods from Bowery Bagels, paired with some of their fantastic Schmears. This way, you can leave for the office on time AND enjoy a delicious breakfast before headed over the bridge. A great Breakfast with a great view of PDX. Couldn’t be better!

 


National Pie Day – Another Reason to Love Pie!

Apple-Slice-Website-1024x621Pie Day is a magical time of the year. It’s like a whole day was dedicated to bringing you back to your grandmothers house, when the egg timer dings and suddenly the kitchen is filled with the smell of browned crust and hot apple filling.

That’s right folks, National Pie Day is coming up! Unlike Pi Day, which has a mathematical undertone, Pie Day has no subtleties about it. January 23rd is all about the baked deliciousness you know and love, meaning you can enjoy these goods math free (which, if you had the math experience I had in high school, is a good thing)

This year, Pacific Pie Co. and Portland Pedal Power are teaming up to bring you free pie delivery on National Pie Day, Friday the 23rd. If you order a pie from Pacific Pie Co. to be delivered on the 23rd, Portland Pedal Power and Pacific Pie Co. will cover the cost of delivery, ensuring there are no barriers between you and your pie.

We also want to hear about your Pie Experiences! Have you had an especially delicious Pie from Pacific Pie Co? Have a saucy story about last year’s Pie Day? Or maybe you just have a picture of a delicious pie you just took out of the oven, and have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to share. This is your opportunity!

Posts Your Pie pictures and stories by Thursday, January 22rd and tag Portland Pedal Power and Pacific Pie Co. on FacebookTwitter, or Instagram, and our judges will award a lucky pie enthusiast a Free Pie in addition to their free delivery. Yes, you did read that right. Free Pie, Free delivery, all for showing us your enthusiasm for pie. What’s not to love?
