Hi Jeff, You might want to check into renting bikes instead. I was in Portland recently and rented a very nice Redline 29er from Waterfront Bikes - see http://waterfrontbikes.net/ . If you want to do the Forest Park trail in addition to road rides, something similar might work for you.

Good luck!

Andrew
