Bicycle Center
Frans Pauwels Memorial
Community Bicycle Center

The Washington County Bicycle Transportation Coalition (“WashCo BTC”) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose members have been a voice for the bicycling community in Washington County, Oregon since 1998. WashCo BTC initially was formed as a chapter of the Bicycle Transportation Alliance. In 2005, it became an independent non-profit agency to promote bicycle education, and rider empowerment while advocating bicycling interests and supporting events that encourage community participation.

Since its inception, WashCo BTC has grown from a group of activists with commitment and energy to a focused organization with members serving on project committees, advisory boards, and other forms of citizen involvement at all levels of government. In addition, WashCo BTC has provided clinics, educational events and promoted bicycling in the county.

WashCo BTC is proud to open a community bicycle center that offers "anything bicycle" here in Washington County, where anyone can repair a bike, buy a used one, and learn how and where to ride. The center will offer classes focused on motorists and bicyclists sharing the road, pointers for the everyday commuter, and classes in advanced bicycle maintenance and handling skills. Community rides and group ride clinics for the uninitiated also will be available.
