'Breakfast on the Bridges': a monthly Portland commuter tradition

Portlanders kick off their mornings with "Breakfast on the Bridges," an annual tradition where cyclists enjoy free coffee, doughnuts, and breakfast treats as they bike along bridges in the city. The event, started over 20 years ago by Ayleen Crotty, has grown into a vibrant community effort, with hosts offering everything from pancakes to homemade burritos, all while fostering connections between bikers, pedestrians, and even kids who stop by for a quick bite before heading off.
