In 2013, Kiel Johnson bought a camper trailer on Craigslist and spent the summer turning it into a repair shop. After 3 months of repairing bikes under the tram, and after traveling around the Netherlands, where bike valets are commonplace, Go By Bike combined same-day repair service with valeting bikes. Since opening the bike valet, the number of people parking at the tram has grown by 400%. When the tram was first designed, it only included 12 bike parking spaces. Today, over 300 people park at the tram on average throughout the year.

Go By Bike is always looking for new ways to make it easier for people to ride a bike. Since 2022, we have operated a free pedicab shuttle around South Waterfront and a loaner bike program. In 2027, using our extensive knowledge about bicycling, we are expanding to offer Oregon bicycle tours. We also provide consulting work, event pedicabs and bike parking.
