Calendar

Commute with the City Bike Bus every second Wednesday of the month through October! Hop on your bicycle and join one of nine unique bike bus routes coming from all over the city into downtown. At the end of the ride, we’ll all gather at Salmon Street Springs for coffee and treats. A bike bus is a group of students—but in this case, adults—biking to school—but in this case, downtown—together. Bike buses have been around for decades, but they have become increasingly popular in recent years. Each bike bus will depart from their start location at a different time and arrive at Salmon Street Springs at 8:15 a.m.

Old you: eradicated. New you: activated. Summer’s still going strong—and so are we! Join us for a magical, musical Pedalpalooza ride where we say a joyful farewell to the version of ourselves we’re ready to leave behind. Bring your bike, your best vibes, and an effigy of “Last Year You” (or a creative representation of whatever you’re ready to release—old baggage, bad habits, expired mindsets). We’ll cruise about 4 miles to a beautiful spot where, at sunset, we’ll take part in a light-hearted ritual to eradicate what no longer serves us—and ride boldly into the future as our freshest, fiercest selves. 🛠️ Need help building your mini-you? Show up early—we’ll have limited supplies for effigy-making creativity. 🎶 Expect tunes, transformation, and maybe a dance break or two. 🧥 Bring an extra layer for post-sunset chills. Let go. Lighten up. Let yourself fly. See you in the glow, fam.

If you think rocks are cool, this is the ride for you. We will be rolling from Mt Tabor to the Steel Bridge to Marquam Park, taking a look at exposed bedrock outcrops, and discussing what those rocks tell us about the deep-time history of our landscape. A limited number of Portland geologic timeline bookmarks will be available. The ride is approximately 10 mi at a party pace.

Gather for a ride celebrating one of the best working directors: Luca Guadagnino. Both bicycles and music play central roles in his tender, lavish films, so it only made sense to do a ride celebrating his work! THEME: The films of Luca Guadagnino! Expect a route highlighting the beauty of Portland. Expect a playlist of scores and soundtracks from his films, including tracks by The Psychedelic Furs, Sufjan Stevens, Blood Orange and Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross. Excited for the ride and want to check out or revisit some of his films? We recommend Call Me By Your Name, Challengers, Suspiria (2018), Bones and All and Queer. ROUTE: Route will be about 10-14 miles with a store stop, taking roughly 2 hours or so in total. Ride will be a loop - you will be back at Laurelhurst park at about 9:30-10pm! While the route won’t be posted beforehand, feel free to ask the ride leader about specifics at Laurelhurst Park or the store stop if you have questions. --------- This ride aims to be a safer space.

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share that I’ve organized an educational ride with Simon Battisti, Executive Director of the Relationship Center in Tirana. I’ve been inspired for years by Simon’s work on School Streets in Tirana, and he also serves as the creative director of the Start with Children Summit, which I had the privilege of attending this May in Bratislava, Slovakia. The ride will take place this Thursday from 6 to 8 pm starting at Wilshire Park, exploring infrastructure at multiple schools in North and Northeast Portland. Please feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested. Thanks, Coach Sam Balto

Last year we had a blast with this ride and it’s a nice change of pace for a Thursday night, so BiciBuds are “taking over” RideSafePDX Thursday and taking you back to the 90s with the “The Pure Moods Ride: Volume II Edition” Imagine a world where time drifts slowly? A world where music carries you away….that 90s commercial that grabbed your attention at the oddest hours blaring loudly from your TV — no other collection of songs would give you the same experience? Direct from Europe, this album inspired us and we can’t wait to have you experience the nostalgia journey. Music will feature the classic songs from these amazing cd albums that came out in the 90s. Did you know that they released three different collections? Ride Leaders: BiciBuds (Máximo and Bryson) This is a no-drop ride, leisure 7-8 mph pace, route will be shared closer to the ride but about 8-10 miles in length with a brief store stop. No person will be left behind. Simply communicate to us if you need to leave the ride early. Safety: This ride intends to be a safe space. SHIFT Code of Conduct is important and implemented on these rides. No harassment, violence, racism, bigotry, transphobia, threats, or other actions that go against the SHIFT Code of Conduct will be accepted. Respect others and ask consent before touching another person or their belongings. If you experience or witness an issue, tell the ride leader and if SHIFT banned you as a rider, you are banned on this ride too. Also, if you want to alert SHIFT if you see a problem on any group ride: Email: conduct@shift2bikes.org or via Google Form: https://forms.gle/sYN8zZqMkPt2QCih7

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, riding every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic party-paced “rolling dive bar” of a ride for newcomers and regulars alike. Most rides will feature park and store stops, but come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. New leadership, same positive vibes. While you might expect some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct, and if you’re banned from any Shift rides, TNR isn’t for you. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. Riders should practice consent, accountability, respect, and de-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements at 7:30. ✨Be an Empowered Bystander✨ See something off? Step up in a way that feels right for you: 🗣️ Direct: If it's safe, say *That's Not Right* for TNR. 🎭 Distract: Change the vibe and give them an out 🙋🏽 Delegate: Get help from a ride leader or trusted friend ⏳ Delay: Check in with the person afterwards 📝 Document: Write down what happened

Thursday Night Ride

⛲️ If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to get involved, come early and ask for the ride leader—we’ll see you at the fountain!

Hello, Sellwood families! SMILE’s Transportation Committee is hosting a BIKE BUS from Llewelyn School to Sellwood Park every Friday morning this summer. Beginning Friday, June 20, the Bike Bus will depart from the front of Llewelyn Elementary School every Friday morning at 9:50, ride a loop on bike-friendly roads and greenways, and conclude at Sellwood Park at 10:10 (map, route information, and pickup times can be found at bit.ly/sellwood2025). The ride will be family-friendly, with music, an adult ride leader, and a caboose rider. Helmets are required for anyone under 16 years old. Kids riding on their own bike should be at least 8 years old and able to ride for a couple of miles. Younger kids may join with parental support. Parents are encouraged and welcome to attend! All bikes should be in good condition. The pace will be fairly slow, and nobody will be dropped. Don't forget locks for bikes to lock up at the park. NOTE: The Bike Bus will only go to Sellwood Park; riders will return on their own. THE SHACK IS BACK! And of course, once you arrive at the park, there will be plenty to do all day at The Shack, hosted by the Sellwood Community House. Check out the website for updated activities for all ages: sellwoodcommunityhouse.org/the-shack-at-sellwood-park

Back for its 15th year, Get Lost! is a Pedalpalooza Bike Ride led entirely by chance. Dice are rolled to determine how many blocks to ride, and which direction to turn once we get there (odd total = R, even =L). We ride until we find a natural end point. Feel free to bail whenever you wanna go somewhere else. You never know what to expect. Since we won't be taking designated bike routes riders should be pretty comfortable in semi-hairy conditions, but dangerous or illegal routes will not be traveled. Probably not a loop, but that's what we said the first year, and we (eerily) ended up in the exact place we started! Read about that year's ride here: http://bit.ly/2qY2TmQ This ride will be broken into an Evening and Night edition ride, the evening ride will commence around 8:30pm

This is our 3rd Single's Bike Ride!! Let's meet at Colonel Summers Park at 6PM We are taking off at 6:30PM. Bring some drinks. We are going to stop for a bit along the river and have some drinks and have some drinks and food at the food carts at the end. We have a Singles Playlist!!

August is statistically the most common birthday month, so what better time than a Friday exactly in the middle of August to throw a giant birthday party for EVERYONE? Moly & Hami of Revolutionary Bicycle Club will be leading because it is in fact their birthdays this week, but whether or not it's actually your birthday, come out and act like it as we roll around town, stopping at parks along the way to partake of all the birthday-est things you can imagine (with a little revolutionary flair, because joy and revolution go hand in hand). We'll have birthday music. Vegan and GF birthday cake from Yasaman PDX. A gift exchange. A birthday raffle. A "fuck ice" piñata stuffed with the perfect combo of fun treats and leftist literature. We'll have it ALL, because it's YOUR BIRTHDAY, BABYYY 🥳🥳🥳 ✨RIDE SCHEDULE✨ 1) Ladd's circle– meet 6:15, leave 6:45 🎈 2) Colonel Summers– piñata at 7 🪅 3) Oregon Park– gift exchange at 7:45 🎁 4) Laurelhurst– birthday cake and raffle at 8:15 🍰 and *maybe* a birthday dance party If you want to participate in the gift exchange, please bring a small wrapped gift (something you made yourself or something that cost less than $30, please). We encourage buying gifts from local pro-Palestine businesses listed on portlandtopalestine.com! Riders are also encouraged to bring an extra "birthday" gift to donate to the SE community free store! We'll collect gifts and drop them off at a later date along with a birthday cake, because our unhoused neighbors deserve a party too. Hygiene items, food, pet food, drinks, camping gear, first aid supplies, socks and underwear, books, and art/craft supplies are all appreciated 🎁 The birthday raffle will be a fundraiser for a Palestinian family. You can make a donation to the fundraiser as a birthday gift to Moly & Hami, and if you win, it's like an extra birthday gift for yourself! Raffle prizes include hundreds of $$ worth of bike gear, gourmet vegan food, and garden supplies. VIVA LA REVOLUTION, VIVA LA BIRTHDAY 🎈 🎂

Find your bike Every Friday Night. We meet at Ladds circle, in the circle. If it is raining, head down to the covered area of Abernethy Elementary School. Ride slowly meets at 7 pm and departs roughly at 7:45/8ish pm. An honorary 3 minutes of Ladd laps (Ding Ding Ride/Ladd500) and then we send it. Sometimes we have guest ride leaders. Friday Night Rides are different every time. Sometimes we go to other rides happening around town during the summer. End of ride fires/good vibes/respect/no jerks/ We are a community. Respect each other! No aggressive, sexist, racist, or any other kind of BS will be tolerated. Violations against the code of conduct will be reported to shift2bikes. If you ride Sur-Ron/powerful electric bikes this is not the ride for you. You can come but you might be heckled. This is a bicycle ride. Bring lights/locks/responsible vibes/a cup/ Casual pace with some extra zip 10-20ish mile rides with store stops/park stops/art stops NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Be careful of slippery roads/leafs on ground/pot holes. Call out road hazards to help bike friends stay safe. 1st Friday is bottle share night. (bottle of wine/crazy beer/kombucha/coconut water/fizzy waters/anything you like to drink/want to share) 2nd Fridays are MMR - later night vibes to make it to Midnight Mystery Ride. If you want to lead a ride just ask! REPEAT… NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Guest ride leaders wanted and appreciated! Instagram @fridaynightride

You cannot prepare for music on this grandiose scale. Channel your inner Yes, feel the Rush, bow to King Crimson... The Prog rock ride will leave you forever changed. Our DJ's think we'll get through about 3 whole songs. We'll meet at Col Summer's near the water park around 7:00 and leave around 7:45. Ride is not a loop, and will end along the waterfront.

We meet at a different park in Portland every Saturday all year morning at about 9 to talk about home repair, travel plans, obscure board games, insects, etymology and sometimes bikes. Coffee Outside is often a meeting or starting point for adventures, day rides, group food cart rides or other outings. Bring a means to make coffee or some sort of coffee-adjacent beverage, or not. Instant chai? Perfect. A canned coffee beverage from the bodega? Legit. A special small batch blend of beans roasted in your neighborhood roastery that you measure by weight (portable scale, naturally) hand-grind in your titanium grinder before making a slow pour-over using hand-made paper filters and perfect temperature water? Sure, go for it. Baked goods are always appreciated but not at all required. Uniform? Nope. Fancy bike? Nope. Racing or ultra bikepacking chops? Nope. We enthusiastically welcome new faces and have no barrier to entry other than being your authentic self and leaving any bad/aggro attitudes at home. We post the location every Thursday on the PDX Coffee Outside website, which our friend Chris updates, and our Instagram account.

The August monthly ride is a loop ride that is classified as moderate to difficult. This ride will use all gears and brakes. The ride will traverse dirt trails, steep hills, and narrow paths, occasionally near traffic. The ride begins at Milwaukie Bay Park and heads north to the Sellwood Bridge. After crossing the bridge cyclists will ascend 500 ft up the cemetery switchbacks, take a break, and go on to Lewis & Clark College, Tyron Creek State Natural Area, and Lake Oswego. Eventually arriving in Gladstone for a well deserved lunch at the Arlington Taphouse and Food Carts before returning to Milwaukie. Total mileage back to downtown Milwaukie is around 25 miles. This ride, although very challenging, is going to be a thrill because of the challenges and the environment you encounter. The ride will put a huge smile on your face!!! That being said, make sure to bring extra hydration, snacks, and a bike repair kit(tire). Warning: The ride is challenging and NOT RECOMMENDED for INEXPERIENCED riders and those riders with physical limitations.

You’ve heard of the Dead Freeways Ride exploring the Portland freeways we’ve never built or removed entirely, but what about all the freeways that did get built? Did you know that the majority of Portland-area freeways are legally open to bikes and non-motorized vehicles? Did you know that Oregon State Parks were originally developed as a branch of the Oregon State Highway Department thanks to the same declaration that preserved public ownership of our Pacific beaches? A representative from the Bureau of John Russell will be on hand to familiarize everyone with the intricacies of OAR 734-20-0045: Prohibition of Non-Motorized Vehicles on Freeways. He’ll show you the ropes, having ridden every mile of freeway in Western Oregon himself. With over 50,000 miles of cycling experience, and thousands of miles of unsupported bike touring, he will also show everyone the ropes of bike touring and camping, so please come prepared with hammocks, tents, sleeping bags, and anything else you need for an enjoyable night outdoors at LL Stub Stewart State Park. There may be an attempt to provide a support vehicle to carry gear for those with limited carrying capacity, but support is not guaranteed. Please bring approximately $20 cash to cover camping fees, MAX fare, food, and firewood, etc. but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. Meet at 11, ride at 11:30 am. We’ll be starting in SW Portland at the Goose Hollow MAX Station (SW 18th & Jefferson). For the main portion of the ride, we'll travel on over 20 miles of wide shoulders in a nearly straight line along US 26, originally planned as the "Wolf Creek Highway" and more commonly known today as the Sunset Highway. After a supply stop in Banks, we'll enjoy a much quieter afternoon along the car-free Banks Vernonia Trail before making camp at two reserved hike-in camp sites at L.L. "Stub" Stewart State Park, for a total of ~35 miles on Saturday. On Sunday, we will break camp (1 PM checkout) and meander up to 30 miles back to the MAX Blue line in Hillsboro through scenic rural Washington County. In total, the ride will be an approximately 65 miles long over two 30- to 35-mile days. While the route does not loop, we will connect to the MAX on each end, so please bring appropriate fare unless you want to bike the whole way home. For those of you who would prefer to ride on your own and meet us along the way or at camp, an approximate route is posted below. Please do not drive to the campground without coordinating beforehand, as parking may be limited at costs $10/night. Camping is limited to ten people, so please RSVP if possible: https://www.facebook.com/events/2145896042589896/ Come have fun and ride the roads you never thought you could! Time and details subject to change.

Portland Criterium

Meet at 1PM roll at 1:30PM. Ride will end at the Rainbow Road public plaza on Ankeny and 28th so we can eat and chat! Our vision is simple: it should be legal for any residential lot from roughly 12th to 60th, Fremont to Powell, to contribute to a thriving, mixed-income, mixed-use fabric of urban neighborhoods by allowing street-scale apartment buildings. Portland: Neighbors Welcome has been campaigning to make this a reality, and we hit a huge milestone a few weeks ago: Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability has released the results of their Inner Eastside Infrastructure Study, which examined how the current infrastructure could handle to opening up these neighborhoods to more neighbors! Our third annual Inner Eastside for All ride will take us on a tour though the study area as we talk about the results and envision what the future of Portland's Inner Eastside can look like! Our wonderful friends at Strong Towns PDX and BikeLoud will join us to talk about the fiscal wisdom of siting new housing where we already have developed infrastructure, and why allowing more people to live in our most bike friendly neighborhoods is an essential part of meeting our transportation goals! Ride will be ~5 miles, slow pace and no drop. Kids are very welcome but the content will be aimed towards adults.

Ride for ~ 10 miles at a social pace.

Hi Guys, Im the owner of Mokwheel E-Bikes in Tualatin and have never done one of these, so I figured I’d start by offering to buy a round at our local establishment here in Tualatin! 3 mermaids has great food and 30 taps and its just of the Tualatin River bike path. So the plan is to start and end at that shop. Get here early and go grab and pint!

The Gaza Sunbirds are a paracycling team from Gaza who are calling on cyclists around the world to ride with them this weekend in solidarity with Gazans and Palestinian prisoners. We'll be riding not just in solidarity with Palestine, but with oppressed people and prisoners everywhere! Through poetry, music, food, art, and storytelling, we'll get riders engaged with liberation struggles from Palestine to the Philippines, from Oregon to Iran. Meet us at Laurelhurst Park at 5:30 for some speakers. Roll out at 6 and ride along with us to 3 different stops where we'll learn about other causes (and how they're all connected). At the end we'll have food from Vegan Syrian, live screen printing with @Ankh.Inkh.Studios and @Bint.Bandora (bring your own light-colored T-shirt or tote) and a film screening about Palestinian prisoners. Pace will be easy, and no one gets left behind. This ride is being organized/supported by Revolutionary Bicycle Club, the Portland Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines, Al-Awda PDX, Rainbow Bloc, @Ankh.Inkh.Studios, @Bint.Bandora, and others.

The 2025 Lord of the Rings Ride, To the Mt. Tabor Caldera and Back Again. Mount up, brave riders! Join our fellowship on a magical quest to the Mt.

We’ll pause at the amphitheater to regroup, then venture a little higher—not quite to Mordor, but close enough. Costumes are encouraged! Capes, cloaks, wizard hats—bring your best Middle-earth vibes. Don’t forget your metaphorical One Ring to toss into our imaginary lava lake! All riders, all wheels, all welcome. LOTR gatekeeping will be met with good-natured mockery and second breakfast jokes.

We might also have breaks to dance and will have a dance party and DJ set at the end. This is a queer BIPOC led space and we expect everyone to practice consent and respect for one another.

See the top of a MAX Train, ride over cars and check out the newest park in Portland all in one ride! This ride is a 4-mile down and back route starting at Ventura Park and following bike-friendly streets and the I-205 pedestrian overpass to the newly renovated Berrydale Park. Our ride will be suitable for young bike riders who can pedal their own bike in a straight line. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to ride in a straight line without training wheels, start and stop, and follow instructions. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for younger or less confident kids, or in case kids get tired of pedaling. Adults without kids can also join the ride as corkers to help with traffic safety. Getting to the ride: Bus #20 MAX Blue Line Burnside/122nd Ave

Join us for a leisurely Sunday morning ride leading from the Beaverton City Library to the Tigard Public Library! Bring a book (or check one out at our destination) and some cash for the Tigard Farmer's Market, which we will pass shortly before reaching the Tigard Public Library. The planned route covers 6.6 miles of mostly-flat terrain and almost exclusively follow the Fanno Creek Trail. Expect a small amount of road cycling along SW 5th Street & low-traffic neighborhood greenways during the first 25% of the route, then paved multi-use paths with minimal street crossings the rest of the way. This is a no-drop ride and we will cycle at a relaxed social pace (under 10 mph) - that way we can safely travel around any pedestrians (or ducks) on the trail. We will also make a water/bathroom pit stop about halfway along the route. Lastly, there will be an optional return ride that will depart 2 hours after we arrive at the Tigard Public Library. This 9.3 mile return route will be more adventurous, mostly emphasizing low traffic greenways and residential streets and occasionally crossing paths with the Fanno Creek Trail. We will swing further west and then north to pass through Summerlake Park Reservoir; cut through the Downing Greenway to get back to FCT; make a right on SW Denney and proceed north along the elevated bikeway on SW Western Ave; and lastly make a left on SW 5th Street to finish up at the Beaverton City Library. The exact details of the return route may be subject to change prior to Sunday 8/17. Feel free to email me with any suggested changes.

go here if you wanna race in the Criterium little speed demon : https://portlandcriterium.com/lloyd_district_crit/ Wear an inflatable costume and ride a bicycle at Parade Pace! It's much easier if your costume doesn't cover your face. but I might rock a T-Rex so don't ride so close to me. plan ahead, super easy to find costumes online. :) We will ride some streets outside of the race course. NE Holladay, NE 15th, the other half of NE Halsey & NE 9th or maybe NE 7th. We will also ride a few laps on the course between 12:55pm and 1:10pm short video of 2023 ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKMmEfkypJ8&t=2s Were you at Pioneer Courthouse Square on Friday June 24, 2022 wearing an inflatableT-Rex costume setting a world record? https://www.instagram.com/p/CfRwcZcJdcg/ Still have your costume & notice how forlorn it is just sitting there? Have you ever wondered if it is possible to ride a bicycle in an inflatable costume? I have. And then I googled it. Much to my surprise, there are some people out there that have already ridden a bike in their inflatable T-Rex costume... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOumG6HS-rY So, are you gonna live the entire summer without showing people how truly awesome, fun, and perhaps foolish, you are? Right!! I didn't think so. Have you still not ridden across the Blumenauer Bridge?? If you have, now you can do it in costume ! if you know Chris Guillebeau, would you please let him know he inspired me ! Need a costume? I bought my inflatable costume on Ebay for $44 bucks from someone in San Francisco, so it got to PDX in just 3 days so you have time to order yours! maybe get yours on ebay or some other online place. there are so many to choose from !! search online for "inflatable costume" and be amazed !. Please also email if you have questions. Bring Your Own Tape if you fear your rear wheel will eat your tail. ride at your own risk! but we will be riding at Parade Pace!

On this ride we will be exploring the ex-boyfriend genre of music, including but not limited to: the National, Bright Eyes, Interpol, and more. While the organizers have a certain brand of hipster indie ex-boyfriend in mind, please queer all of the above, including the word boyfriend. An expansive definition of ex is also welcome. Maybe you’re the boyfriend—do you insist that others “have to listen to the album straight through?” Did you make your partner listen to Neutral Milk Hotel’s “early stuff” while moving to Portland? Did you ask them to move with you without /quite/ asking them to move with you? The important thing is, this person probably cares a lot about music and vinyl and hi fi audio, and like, speakers. Come dressed as your ex (first person wearing their ex’s Joy Division t-shirt gets a prize)—you can sell the fit at Give & Take while we have a corrective crate digging experience at Speck’s where our ride will formally break up. Conscious uncouplings may happen on our journey (this is not a no-drop ride), which will be about an hour long with a stop at Irving Park. Submit songs or bands for playlist consideration to craws_bridges.9c@icloud.com by August 10. As one of my exes said, “let’s ride.”

Each ride in this series will start at a Multnomah County Library (MCL) branch and end at a different library system, with an opportunity to sign up for a card at both locations. Did you know that if you live in any Portland area county — Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, or Clark — you can get library cards for all of those systems? Each library system has a unique selection of materials and services, so collect 'em all! Libraries also make great pit stops while out riding — water, bathrooms, a quiet spot to stop and rest without having to spend money — so knowing your library branches can be very useful even when farther from home. First up is Vancouver — officially, Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries (FVRL). We'll start at the MCL North Portland branch, swing by the recently-reopened MCL Kenton branch, then head over to Vancouver to the downtown Vancouver Community Library branch. If you want to sign up for an FVRL library card, bring photo ID and proof of address. See fvrl.org/library-accounts for more details and what kind of documents to bring. Route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50234458 Another perk of libraries is that they often have activities or exhibits available to visitors. For July and August, the Vancouver Community Library branch has an art exhibit by the Chronic Pain Project, "Illuminating the Invisible." The Chronic Pain Project is a local nonprofit "dedicated to raising awareness of the often-overlooked experience of living with chronic pain." The exhibit on display at the library was created by participants in the Chronic Pain Project and "the art created is a visual representation of their experience of pain intended to provoke conversation and promote understanding the wide variety of experiences people have with chronic pain." See chronicpainproject.org for more details. The ride isn't officially a loop, but if you stick around for a bit (check out the art, and maybe the farmers' market: vancouverfarmersmarket.org/downtown-market) we'll ride back as a group. Departure time from Vancouver TBD, but likely around 3:00pm. Directions also gladly given back to the start or to the MAX if you want to leave earlier. When we get back to Portland there might be a bonus stop at the also–recently reopened Albina branch; TBD. Look for future rides in this series to libraries in Milwaukie (Clackamas County, LINCC) and Beaverton (Washington County, WCCLS), dates TBD.

Meet at a park. Tie rope decoratively over your self and friends. Then we'll ride with the patterns still on! People wear rope for many reasons: it's beautiful, artistic, a connecting activity, to take photos, and/or to get good at knots. We'll start by tying outdoors in the park for an hour. Bring a blanket, your own rope, and all you need for your ties. There's no official class or instruction. Time in the park will be an open "rope jam", time for experimentation, fun, and/or socializing. If you're new to rope, here are two basic patterns that would work for this ride: 1.) hishi karada, the rope dress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuPz0tZUjFc&t=4s 2.) chest harness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUsznt8qNgE Rope rules for biking: Keep the patterns decorative, and loose enough that it's not constricting anything while you ride. No loose ends dangling! We'll take time to ensure there are no dangling loose ends. We'll ride slow, and pull over if anyone has issues with rope coming loose. We'll have a park stop or two along the way, so folks can fix any issues with rope. Ride details: Slow ride, paced for people learning to bicycle. No one will be left behind. This allows time for socializing during the ride. We’ll take greenways and bike lanes, to minimize interactions with drivers… because Portland’s bicycle network is incomplete, there may be short necessary portions of sharing larger roads, and we’ll stay together as a group for safety.

Come wind down after a summer of high-energy Pedalpalooza rides and join us for our third annual Ambient ride, the chillest Pedalpalooza ride of the season. Swiftwalkers is a laid back social bike ride sound-tracked by ambient music and concluding with a live ambient performance with tea. We'll meet at Lone Fir Cemetery outside the large mausoleum and make our way through SE towards Mt. Tabor. We will conclude the ride at the Mt. Tabor Amphitheater with a live ambient performances and visuals, all accompanied by traditional Chinese Gongfu tea. Be prepared for the last leg of the ride as it will be an uphill journey to reach the amphitheater. Local music provided by: -Feverkin -Gregory Allison -Naia Spiral -Rook Powers *Please check the link for the style of music we will be playing on the ride! **Bring your JBL Connect portable speakers if you have one! Email all ambient/drone/soundscape suggestions (including your own work!) to swiftwalkers@protonmail.com for consideration in the ride's playlist.

Sometime in the middle 19th century, stone mile markers were placed along the length of what became SE Stark St. From the Willamette to the Sandy River, these milestones helped travellers navigate what was once a wild area. Over the years these markers were largely forgotten, yet miraculously over half still remain! We'll take a leisurely bike tour to see the markers that still remain from MP2 to MP7. Ride is not a loop but will end near the SE 122nd MAX Station on the Blue Line. After the ride ends there will be an option for interested folks to get food and libations.

Let’s play BINGO! We’ll do a round or two at the start point, at stops along the way, and at the end where we’ll finish with a blackout round. We’ll have some prizes, but it would be great if everyone could bring a white-elephant style gift. This should be something you already have but don’t want, an item from a free box, or something along those lines. Please only bring vegan-friendly items (no animal products, including leather, feathers, meat, dairy, eggs, honey, etc.). Please join even if you don’t have anything for the prize table as there will be plenty. We've been collecting items just for this! If you have a dry-erase marker for yourself/extras to share, please bring them for marking off your Bingo cards. We'll have some to share but may not have enough if it's a big group. Thank you!

I've been wanting to do this since last year's release of Challengers by Luca Guadagnino but I'm non-commital. Finally it's happening! Put on your sluttiest tennis outfit, maybe invite your polycule, and lets ride and play tennis at different courts around town. No experience required (I think I played tennis once when I was a kid so I'm no Tashi Duncan). We'll listen to the Challengers Original Score by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross and other music that fits the vibe. Bring your tennis racket/balls, water, tubes, and your third wheel. Sharing is caring! **Would be super cool if people are willing to share their tennis gear or knowledge so anyone who wants to join can give it a shot **I won't post the route ahead of time, so hit me up if you wanna know, or ask me at the start of the ride **We'll spend some amount of time at each stop to toss some balls around **bring the bi vibes

Our instagram is nakedHeartspdx so you can see how we ride. Weekly themed rides. Different ride leaders each week, but you can expect the ride to be social paced (8ish mph), no-drop, safe and welcoming, store stop with safe clean bathroom access and the ride is always a loop. We practice consent and non-violence specially with car interactions, what one ride does affects how all rides get treated. The Mellow Mondays are a space for (new) ride leaders to try out ideas in a very supported environment. You’ll often see Mondays rides appearing again during the warmer riding season. We follow the shift code of conduct and expect everyone to be respectful of themselves and others around them. This is so we can actually relax and have fun and connect with each other in a softer space. This isn’t a sober ride but we ask for moderation to keep the atmosphere relaxed. We recommend Abraham Fixes bikes in N Williams and NomadCycles (e-bike specialist) for repairs/sales and parts. Our friends over at RideSafePDX host regular ride and we’ recommend those as a pleasant warm group to ride with.

RIDE PUSHED BACK TO TUESDAY AUGUST 19 DUE TO HEAT RIDE DESCRIPTION UPDATED 8/11 *Bring A Water Bottle! it's gonna be hot!* *ride end point updated to Dharma Rain Zen Center - 8500 NE Siskiyou* The annual taco ride is back - but in the interest of shaking things up a bit and scouting some new spots, we're headed northeast this year instead of north (!) We're gonna eat hundreds of tacos from Northeast Portland's best tacquerias and food trucks. birria, shrimp, asada, chorizo, fish, chicken, veggie, relleno, mango habanero, carnitas and more. Wanna bike around and help us eat them? As per tradition, we'll meet at the Gazebo of Peninsula Park, and we'll make our way east to the Dharma Rain Zen Center. This is a slow, no-drop (no one left behind!), all-ages-and-abilities ride on flat neighborhood greenways and chill streets - it's about a 7 mile ride, one-way, and it finishes close to MAX and other bus routes. Please bring cash to hand to me at the beginning of the ride, or even better, venmo/paypal me some $ ahead of time (asking sliding scale $20-50 depending on how hungry you are/how generous you are). Proceeds go towards very generous tipping at each local business and anything left over ends up towards a lump sum donation to PCUN – Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste - a farmworkers union that all of us should be supporting in these wretched times we live in. All-but-finalized plans - due to the heat we might make some last minute changes, we'll update this page by 3pm Tuesday if it changes: El Nutri Taco, 2124 NE Alberta St Loncheria Los Mayas, 4212 NE Prescott St Rose City Burrito, 6205 NE Prescott St ki'ikibáa, 3244 NE 82nd Ave We'll buy some vegetarian tacos, too, but to be clear, some of these places have better veggie tacos than others, so adjust expectations accordingly. venmo: @ambrown You don't *have* to RSVP, but it's strongly encouraged, especially if you want vegetarian tacos. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeemZxFRUgNwK3ojNPEDwNM5555UY-sS26WJy9A6dHe84QNnQ/viewform?usp=dialog

It's time, Cheetah Sisters! Time to throw your hands up if you know that you're a star! Are you ready to strut like you mean it, free your mind? Do you *absolutely* not want to be like Cinderella, sitting in a dark old dusty cellar, waiting for somebody to come and set you free? Hop on our Cheetah Girls ride, where we will be playing all the most Cheetahliscuous hits and biking around the town in our most bomb, whack-attack Cheetah-print outfits! Show up ready for a moderately easy route, and remember, if he doesn't respect your art, he can't have your heart. Who knows, we may stop along the way at a few special spots to boogie-oogie-oogie through Barcelona, create choreography for some of our favorite hits, and belt our hearts out with our karaoke machine (or even end the night at a karaoke bar!). Whether you're a Bubbles, a Chuchie, a Do, or an Aqua, it's time to ride, sisters- so get ready to slay your own dragons and dream your own dreams! Most importantly, never forget... "You're a Cheetah Girl because of who you are and what's in your heart."

FKA Twosday Road Rascals but a slightly different approach. Taking back 2sDay is here and starting this summer for a ride every other week! We continue the tradition that started at the picnic tables at Irving park years ago. The torch has been passed and we’re back! Well be focusing different end spots then usual ones plus we’ll have new ride leads popping up thru summer so if you want to lead just ask! Party paced to swifter at times with regroups and a real no drop mentality. Meets at the picnic tables by the tennis courts or under the covered area if it rains. Meet around 7 for a 7:45 roll out! If you’re banned from other rides don’t come on this one. Pretty simple lol. Don’t be an asshole to others on the ride and traffic or pedestrians, respect people’s space consent and possessions. We strive to make this a safe place for all and welcoming to everyone 🖤🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊

As children watch patiently out the window for the chance to ride a bike to school or the park, and the state transportation funding plan struggles to join the 21st century, PBOT continues building streets for cars, sometimes with a block or two of bike lane for a treat. Bikeway designs from 20 years ago are being cast in concrete as the anticlimax of 30 years of advocacy, to the tune of $26M/mile... and about one mile per decade. We'll look at the terrain between Multnomah, Burlingame, Hillsdale, and a few other neighborhoods, why Barbur Blvd is such a state-highway-dept-neglected disaster, some recently-completed obsolete bike infrastructure, and the secret trails and side streets we use to sneak through the gaps between the car sewers. This casual group ride will be an easy pace with several stops to discuss and observe the transportation infrastructure and missing links of southwest bikeways along the SW corridor.

At this point it’s pretty much official that the wonderful Benno Boy has ridden his last ride. Last Saturday the 28th of June Benno Boy hit the Godzilla,King Kong and Gigantor of Potholes at SE 39th and Stark on the way to @biteonbelmont.

FYI - what does this ride include? If you know me my rides are equal parts of the following: Getting Lost (Get Lost Rides) Cool Streets (Streets that are not straight) Coolness or Hidden Portland Rides (Lots of Murals, Artwork, Colored Houses and fun found things) Light Brigade (Fun lit up rides) And Finally Foodie and Family Friendly Rides The Mini Memorial Ride will be a condensed (Mini) version of the larger ride on the 23rd staying in the inner city and wrapping up at the Duckworth Dock for a swim in the Willamette Please bring any photos and stories about Benno Boy

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, riding every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic party-paced “rolling dive bar” of a ride for newcomers and regulars alike. Most rides will feature park and store stops, but come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. New leadership, same positive vibes. While you might expect some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct, and if you’re banned from any Shift rides, TNR isn’t for you. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. Riders should practice consent, accountability, respect, and de-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements at 7:30. ✨Be an Empowered Bystander✨ See something off? Step up in a way that feels right for you: 🗣️ Direct: If it's safe, say *That's Not Right* for TNR. 🎭 Distract: Change the vibe and give them an out 🙋🏽 Delegate: Get help from a ride leader or trusted friend ⏳ Delay: Check in with the person afterwards 📝 Document: Write down what happened

The link at the bottom takes you too a video Jack Coleman (videographer) made from the last Opera ride. First: Do you need to like Opera? Not at all. If you’re open to music transforming the way a ride feels and how our city looks you’re in for a treat. What can you expect? Well, Opera. A carefully curated playlist. Moments of high drama and thrilling exaltation. Periods of such serenity as voices and music cascade around the city canyons consuming us in beauty and infrequently heard tones. The first time we held this ride (Amy ‘joy’ and Moorland) had no idea how profound a beautiful experience it would be or the depth of that beauty. Also, the playlist is interspersed with dialogue from the movie Casablanca just to give an underlying tonal theme. Route: We’re going to be rolling through city canyons so the acoustics reverberate. There will be a store stop for refreshments and while there the music will change to Rock Operas. The pace will be social and slow. Rebellion and punk shows in many forms, ask around about this insane ride and the previous years mischief! We troll hard!!! CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!! Safety: As with all our rides, we practice consent and we practice non violence. You’re invited to come as you are and be who you are.
