Editing Eugene, Oregon (section)

====Cycling====
Cycling is popular in Eugene and many people commute via bicycle. Summertime events and festivals frequently have valet bicycle parking corrals that are often filled to capacity by three hundred or more bikes. Many people commute to work by bicycle every month of the year. PeaceHealth Rides, a bike share system formerly operated by Uber subsidiary JUMP, and currently operated by non-profit Cascadia Mobility, offers 300 city-owned bicycles available to the public for a small fee. Bike trails take commuting and recreational bikers along the Willamette River past a scenic rose garden, along Amazon Creek, through the downtown, and through the University of Oregon campus. Eugene is close to many popular mountain bike trails, and Disciples of Dirt is the local mountain bike club that organizes group rides and promotes trail stewardship.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Stewart |first=Jade |date=May 17, 2019 |title=Disciples of Dirt makes trailwork and mountain biking a blast |url=https://www.dailyemerald.com/arts-culture/disciples-of-dirt-makes-trailwork-and-mountain-biking-a-blast/article_895939b8-7552-11e9-9afb-13e1ed1a01bd.html |access-date=January 27, 2021 |website=Daily Emerald |language=en |archive-date=April 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210427005929/https://www.dailyemerald.com/arts-culture/disciples-of-dirt-makes-trailwork-and-mountain-biking-a-blast/article_895939b8-7552-11e9-9afb-13e1ed1a01bd.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
