About Community Exchange Cycle Touring Club

We are a Portland Oregon based non-profit organization (IRS Status Pending). Our mission is to promote global peace through cross-border and cross-cultural exchange bicycle tours.

We host community bike repair/spin/safety clinics, rides, and tours. Our goal is to build a global network of bicycle touring clubs, facilitate the initiation of reciprocated exchange tours between these clubs, and increase friendship-building among diverse cultures.

We encourage every cyclist and potential world traveler to join us in connecting global communities by riding our bicycles and sharing our local scenery, culture, cuisine, language, and hospitality.

We hope to meet, ride, and share with you soon!
