Go green on Portland’s North Williams Avenue

Andrea Gomez

Enjoy a low-key urban vibe thanks to yoga studios, indie shops, and cafes

Ivy Manning,

Fun in winter: North Williams Avenue ― with its bike lanes and organic eateries tucked away in the new Hub building (3808 N. Williams Ave.)―makes it easy to jump-start your New Year’s resolutions.

Scene: A low-key urban vibe, courtesy of yoga studios and green indie shops and cafes.

2,745: Number of daily bike commuters on the North Williams bike corridor.

Dress code: Waterproof jacket and jeans with right leg rolled up.

Hot wheels: The fold-up triangle-frame commuter bike by Strida at Cascade Cycling (122 N. Killingsworth St.; 503/281-0255).

Feel like a local: Play a round of shuffleboard at Vendetta bar ($; 4306 N. Williams; 503/288-1085).

Best splurge: The Royale chocolate mousse at Pix Pâtisserie ($; 3901 N. Williams; 503/282-6539).

Best way to burn it off: Five laps of the North Williams–North Vancouver Avenue bike corridor.

Native chic: A waterproof Lemolo bike bag.
