Bike to Pickathon

Biking to Pickathon is the cheapest and lowest climate-impact transportation option available. And it’s fun! The area around Pendarvis is lovely and you’ll get some great views on the way out here.

All attendees have the option to add on a free Bike Pass which enables one bicycle to park inside the Pickathon grounds all weekend.

We’ll be planning a guided bike route from Reed College in Portland where you can ride with fellow festival friends to the farm. Our bike guides will be there to help lead the way, we’ll haul all your camp gear to the festival so you don’t have to worry about a thing, and then after the festival ends, we’ll take all your gear back to the starting location of your bike route.

Bicycle Passes at Pickathon

A Bicycle Pass allows one bicycle to park inside the Pickathon grounds. The Bicycle Pass is FREE but you need to either add it to your ticket package, or select it from our ticketing options to reserve room at the festival for your bicycle.

NOTE: If you’re not able to bike from Portland to Pickathon but still want to bring a bike to get from the new Welcome Parking area to the festival (about a half mile), that’s fine, just be sure to pick up a Bicycle Pass!

Join a Ride

Join this curated and cultured group of bikers to pedal your way from Reed College to Pendarvis Farm via human power. Our friendly, knowledgeable biking crew will offer you a guided bike ride to the farm as well as transportation of your camping gear so you can focus on having fun on your bike. Expect to ride about 11 miles on moderate hills, mostly flat urban bike paths, with access to Spring Water Corridor and some busier 2-lane roads. A good working bike, helmet, and lock are essential components to get to the farm and secure your ride.

We have a stable of bike racks at the farm to secure your bicycle once you arrive.
