PDX Pipeline recently launched Deals Of Portland and this weekend, we have a 2-for-1 deal for RideOn Portland. For only $15, you can get you and your car home safe…TWICE.

All proceeds go to RideOn Portland, and it's cheaper than taking a taxi!

Need to get home after a night of partying? You can call a cab, wait on hold for 20 minutes and still have to retrieve your car in the morning. Or, you can call RideOn, Portland's only nonprofit that gets you and your car home safe and sound for one low price. With this deal, you’ll pay far less than the cab as well!

The Deal is good for 6 month and we only have 50, so get your deal now – DealsOfPortland.com.

Featured events include beer festivals, tastings, out-of-the-ordinary pairings, special tappings, gastronomical experiences and the world premier of ¬Å“The Love of Beer,¬Â a documentary about the region's women of craft beer.
