Indoor Activities To Shake Off the Portland Winter Blues
Today on City Cast Portland, we’re looking into some of the best ways to keep moving and have fun while staying dry this season. Walking us through some of our city’s best indoor activities is Ryan Hashagen. They’re the founder of Icicle Tricycles, the managing director of Better Block PDX, and the director of the Steel Bridge Skatepark Coalition. And somewhere in between, Ryan also keeps up with a ton of hobbies. From contra dancing to competitive puzzling, they have ideas for activities that’ll keep your body and spirit active all winter long.
