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.
Mayor Sam Adams has said of RideOn Portland:
¬Å“RideOn's progressive mind set towards the topic of drunk driving has created a unique and sustainable solution towards the prevention of impaired driving. I believe every biker, pedestrian and driver has the right to get home safely at night. RideOn's presence within our community is vital and their commitment to reduce the frequency of impaired driving has created a safer community for every Portlander.¬Â
