We meet at 10am, roll at 10:10am. If you're late, you can always try to catch us!

Please stay behind the ride leader so I may set the pace. If you're too fast to stay behind the ride leader, this is not the ride for you! As the year progresses, so will our distance. We will stay together for maximum fun. We'll stop at a couple parks with bathrooms and water spigots for rest stops. We will not be going to any stores or cafes, so be sure to bring snacks for yourself. Please email me any questions. This ride is for lady-powered bikes only - no dudes, no e-bikes, no offense. Due to the speed and battery requirements of e-bikes, they are not a good fit for this ride. All of my other rides welcome e-bikes - full listing here: https://bicyclekitty.blogspot.com/

11-3 no early birds please
Alright people, I'm doing another big bike parts yard sale! Cleaning out the storage unit and thinning out the spare parts! I got a ton of good stuff for sale cheap! Most of it at garage sale prices! Most of the rest still pretty cheap! Only a little bit of it at swap meet prices. Almost nothing at craigslist or marketplace prices. Like maybe 1 thing at eBay prices! Huge free pile too! We're talking next Saturday morning! June 1st! We're talking 11am to 3pm or later if people keep showing up and wanting to hang out! Right next to Creston school/park on the corner of SE Bush and 49th. Can't miss it! No early birds I need time to set up, sheesh! Unless, you want to set up and sell stuff too, then show up early! I've got several nice old frames from 49cm-62cm, several nice old wheel sets, tons of bars and stems and seatpost and brakes and levers and tires and racks and bags and all sorts of bobs and bits! Most of this stuff needs to go away so I'll be taking offers on my already super cheap prices! Hey bike friends!?!?! 😎 😁 There's plenty of space so if you know me and want to drag a few loads of your junk down too and sell it swap meet style feel free! We'll probably order Domino's or something! It will be great! I got a boom box and a bunch of CDs so we'll probably be listening to music, like the best of the Beach Boys, or Bangles, or Iron Maiden or something fun, or Black Flag. IDK we'll see where the mood takes us!

Join Ride Westside as we explore public art in Beaverton, Oregon.

We’ll meet at 11:30 AM. Ride at Noon and then meet up with the ride to the Pedalpalooza kick-off (with time for lunch). The ride will be a social family-friendly pace, with time for some guided explanation of the artwork. All types of micromobility are invited to Ride Westside with us! Link to Map: https://apps2.beavertonoregon.gov/secure/mayor/Arts/publicArtTourMap.aspx Actual bike route will be very short, to save energy for other rides later this day.

Meet in Beaverton (after the Ride Westside Beaverton Arts Ride) and then wander with us down to Portland to join in the madness sure to ensue at the kickoff ride. Bring or be prepared to buy picnic snacks/drinks and we'll hang out for the afternoon. We are riding from outdoor seating for several local restaurants to a place with several local food trucks so you won't go hungry. I'll also bring Uno, others are welcome to bring card games or other fun activities that can be done in a conversation circle on the ground (table not guaranteed). The kickoff ride doesn't actually roll until 5ish but your ride leader wants to get there in time to get a pennant before they run out. FYI: the route will be pretty low traffic but there is a big climb up to the Zoo and then a major decent from the Zoo to downtown. No rush here, it's ok to climb slow. Make sure your brakes are in good working order.

Take public transportation if you are unable to bike down. Come closer to 3pm, as streets and bridges will start closing around 4pm.

Meet at 3pm, Ride at 3:30pm sharp
4:00 PM
End location: North Park Blocks Playground
Ride bikes together with kids and families, from Laurelhurst Park to the North Park Blocks for the start of Pedalpalooza's Kick-Off ride! This is a slow ride, paced for kids on bikes and parents on cargo bikes. We’ll ride 3 miles from the meadow in Laurelhurst park between the bathrooms and the lake, to the playground to in the North Park Blocks in NW Portland at Park and Everett, which will be the start of the Pedalpalooza ride an hour later at 5pm. We will ride at 3:30pm and should arrive Downtown at about 4pm, so you have time pm to pick up t-shirts and pennants, while kids can use the playground or enjoy other activities. Then at 5pm you can also join us if you want to ride the whole route of the Kick-Off Ride , along with other families and kids at the front of the ride. @pedalpaloozapdx has asked us to ride right up front! That ride will be 4.7 miles long and has several hills, so younger kids may need to switch to a trailer or cargo bike with a grown-up. The kickoff ride will take us over the Broadway bridge, through the Lloyd District, and back up to Laurelhurst Park to finish a loop. While our ride is only 2.9 miles and almost all downhill (except for the Burnside bridge) and will be fine for K to 3th grade, if you do the whole loop along with the Kick-Off Ride it will be almost 9 miles total, so it would be appropriate for 5th grade plus, or younger kids who are strong fast confident riders, to ride their own bike the whole way. Our ride will be suitable for young bike riders who can pedal their own bike uphill 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. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too!

Come along and sing to well known songs. Submit your song requests to Moorland or volunteers before the start or at any of the refreshment stops we will make. We will have a big sound system, disco lights..maybe even a fog machine. We have karaoke at our stops and sing-a-long songs as we ride. This ride was one of the highlights of our 2022 rides, and happy for it to be making a return. The ride will be slow paced and a loop. We usually have spare tubes/pump and basic tools just incase. We follow the shift code of conduct.

The wonderful and weird ride of serenity and silliness returns.
NakedHearts:PDX (Moorland leads)
Mon, Jun 3, 2024, 7:00 PM
Meet for 7:00pm and ride for 7:30pm
Ride is a loop
I’ve (Moorland) been loving this ride. It’s a ride where we listen to the songs of Whales as we ride. Yes, the actual songs of Whales. I can’t escape how weird it will be for people sat at home to suddenly hear us go by with the Songs blasting and thinking too themselves, ‘Is there a Whale outside WTF’. I also feel the trees and mycelium will love hearing their distant cousins of the Ocean sing. It might be like the Opera ride and sublimely beautiful, or we might all realize why we don’t usually listen to Whales singing for pleasure. Then when we stop we will Karaoke, normal songs but we sing like animals….meaning if you’re a chicken, ‘cluck cluck cluck squawk…click click squawkwkwkw’. This might be a little weird, but also, I love sharing my weird. Mellow Mondays rides are an ongoing ride for chilling with friends and welcoming new people to our community. Gift sharing is optional and small gifts such as snacks or stickers are just an easy way for us all to come together and get to know each other. We will have different ride leaders now and then but we all foster our community of joy and acceptance starting from a place of trust and safety. All of our rides are safe spaces and we foster a community of acceptance and mutual regard. Additional information: We strongly recommend any and all PDX:Unity rides and the warm/safe atmosphere they create for our marginalized communities. Also: Sabrina (From Fancy Mondays Picnic rides) is now hosting ‘Say Hi Sundays’ which is a ride encouraging community bonding and new friendships.

We are doing it! The first Wednesday of Bike Summer is a pop-up! Kyle has been riding with us for a bit and has been challenging himself on rides so we asked him what does he want to do for the first pop-up and he mentioned the Hellway Bomb! It's not even a 10 mile ride so this will be a short ride that will end in downtown Portland. We will probably end at Salmon Springs so we can get a photo. We are a faster paced and more adventurous group ride with a no drop mentality. We will be riding the shoulder of the HIGHWAY. There are rumble strips. There can be debris. Like any of the rides we host go at your own pace and with what you are comfortable with. We will wait. Please bring lights, tubes, PMA, your bike, and fist bumps!

Ride leaves for 7:15 sharp. We’ve somewhere to get too.
The Goonies and pirates ride. Film was released June 7th, 1985 and this day is the 39th year anniversary. (Ride merges welcome as we hunt for the sacred jewels of Purple…Pirate costumes FTW and we’ll all fit in more with the ride we’re merging into.) Will we find the treasure? The purple gems and amethyst? The special purple ones? Where will one eyed Willy lead us. Will we save Albina and Alberta st from further gentrification? Can we stop the developers taking over? Hard to say but there’s a treasure map involved and it’s up to you to solve the puzzles and get the ride home. Expect daring tests of courage and trepidation Car chases….walking the plank…..juvenile delinquency mixed with youthful abandonment to the belief in changing the world. Hard to say what will happen but we will have an adventure. We will be tracking down the Prince4ever ride and merging with them.

Ride is a loop
This is the first of three rides sponsored by The Deaf Look Club, a subsidiary of Bridge City Montessori School, which is committed to bringing socially accessible events to the Deaf and disabled community. Responding to a need for communication-accessible bicycle rides, Deaf Look Club is proud to present three family-themed rides for Pedalpalooza! All rides will feature communication in spoken English and American Sign Language. The bicycling Deaf and disability community, their families, and their allies are all welcome! BCMS is a primary age Montessori school with a unique mission. It is the only program of its kind to use a multi-lingual oral/sign approach to teaching young students. Deaf kids and their hearing counterparts learn together as equals. We will meet at BCMS at 12pm. There will be a short introduction to BCMS programs and exciting plans to expand our services. Rides are about 2 hours long and will be a short and easy-going 3-5 miles. Our goal is to introduce the local Deaf community and their allies to safe and fun bicycling in the Foster Powell area. Chris Balduc will lead a route through the district, stop at key locations in the district, talk about the local infrastructure and give advice for those who wish to use bikes for transportation in urban Portland. This is a FREE Portland PedalPalooza event! There will be a ride each month. The first is June 8th, 12pm to 2pm. The second ride is July 13 - 12pm to 2pm. The third ride is August 10th - 12pm to 2pm. All rides start and end at the BCMS campus. Bring bikes, helmets, and water. BCMS will offer technical support. For more information contact Chris at chris.balduc@gmail.com

Meet at 2 pm, take off by 2:30 - beer minutes apply
4:00 PM
End location: Mock's Crest
Gate's open, come on in! This is an easy, breezy, beautiful NE ride with limited climbs. Bring a friend, make a friend, have fun What to Expect: Some very chill schoolyard games and Summer camp style activities. Inclusive to all ages and pet-friendly if your pets are friendly. We'll meet at 2 pm at Irving Park, takeoff by 2:30 but adhering to beer minutes. We will include at least 1 store stop, 1 park stop, and end at Mock's Crest to throw bikes and blankets down for some good ol' hang time. We encourage you to bring things like bubbles, chalk, hoops, jump-rope, bracelet-making supplies like beads or thread. This ride is a celebration of friendship. Last year we came, we saw, we made you play blob tag and you liked it enough that we figured we'd keep that ice breaker this year. This year - we will do the same but also include our community guideline expectations: Community Expectations: - Pack it in, pack it out - Nothing is friendlier than consent - if it's not a hell yeah, it's a fuck no. - Thank your corkers! (The nice folks who pull off at intersections to ensure cars let us safely pass). - This is an all ages ride. Now don't get me wrong, this girl loves nothing more than having her claws around a claw, but please be mindful of your limits. If you get rambunctious and are acting unsafe, the fun police (aka Me) are going to sit you down and give you one of those "I'm disappointed in you" talks which may end in my asking you to leave. - We love dogs! But not all dogs love bikes, kids, and car noises. If your dog (or cat, or ferret) are going to be stressed by the ride, leave that friend at home. For example, my own dog isn't allowed on this ride, cus he has something against children and men in hats having fun. Be mindful of your pet friend's feelings and needs. - - - SAFETY FIRST - - - - No bullying, hate-speech, or intimidation tolerated, period. I don't care if they're wearing Tevas and you're more of a Chacos person play nice or you will be asked to leave. (In all seriousness, all are welcome and all deserve to feel safe). - We adhere by the laws of the road, which includes yielding at stop signs when cars have the right of way. We will review basic bike hand signals and discuss further at the ride. - Do not try to fight the cars. You will not win, if anything you will potentially further anger the driver of said car who has the potential to seriously harm bystanders. If a car driver is being an absolute jerk, come grab a ride leader to handle the situation. - If a situation arises and you feel unsafe, please grab a ride leader.

Bikeloud PDX + Portland: Neighbors Welcome
Sat, Jun 8, 2024, 4:00 PM
Meet at 4:00, ride at 4:15
6:00 PM
Ride is a loop
Join Portland: Neighbors Welcome (P:NW) and BikeLoud PDX on a discussion-based bike ride to hear more about P:NW's 'Inner Eastside for All' campaign. The bike ride will be very conversational pace (newbies and families welcome!) and will include many stops exploring prominent locations to be discussed as part of this campaign. The "Inner Eastside for All" campaign looks to update Portland zoning code to allow a mix of housing types in one of Portland's most proximate and service-rich neighborhoods. The 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. Three zip codes largely or entirely in the proposed area are in the top 10 in the country for bike commute mode share: 97215 is #10, 97212 is #8, and 97214 is #2! Portland's Inner Eastside is unique in the country (no other city has more than 1 zip code in the top 10, and Portland has 3!) in enabling people to cycle as their primary transportation. Allowing more people to live in these neighborhoods is essential to Portland meeting our climate and transportation goals!

NakedHearts:PDX ( Mischief and Trolling division lead)
Sat, Jun 8, 2024, 7:00 PM
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.

Cargopalooza returns for its 3rd year, and this time we're on a mission... Our first 'palooz will take us to the one and only ~*Goodwill bins*~ where one can only hope that large objects will be carried away by bicycle. Feeling helpful? Want to use that old Burley trailer but don't really need to buy anything? Need to buy something big but don't have a cargo bike? I smell a cargo friendship beginning to bloom :') Come carry some stuff or just geek out on some cool cargo bikes! Meet outside Splendid Cycles at 8am, wheels rolling by 8:30 to arrive at “the bins” around 9. We'll hang, discuss front loaders vs long tails, take turns going in for a rummage while others can stay outside watch the bikes. Awards will be given (read: made up on the spot) for biggest / weirdest / most useful item found while bin-digging. Casual departure by ~10:30am to head back up the Springwater to Splendid Cycles (I gotta be at work by noon). As usual, this event is for cargo bikes AND the cargo-curious. Any and all bikes are welcome, from short to long and tall to small. Bring a good attitude or don't come at all.

Meet at 2:15pm, ride at 2:30pm. The ride is a loop, 3 miles one way, 4.9 miles total, with a 20 minute break at the playground after 3 miles, so it is suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike without training wheels. You can leave the ride at Peninsula park or ride with us back to the start; we should be back around 4 pm. We ride at a moderate pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. This ride is mostly flat but the first 2 bridges have a "hill". Kids should wear a helmet, be able to balance and pedal in a straight line, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal. Adult corkers are welcome to join as a traffic safety superheroes. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too!

There will potentially be a store stope at QFC if folks are interested, and the Sellwood food truck pod is close to the end location for anyone that wants to grab food.

Rescheduled to June 15th
NakedHearts:PDX (Moorland lead)
Sun, Jun 9, 2024, 7:00 PM
More of a meeting from 7:00-8:00….
Your Hosts are Moorland and other NakedHearts:PDX ride leaders. Please treat this as the start of a conversation that we’re happy to keep having to encourage you to bring your creativity to the bike community. What can you expect? Theme: we’re going to share advice on how to lead a ride. We will go over basics such as route, stops, themes, traffic interactions and safety. How to build a themed, social or party ride. Playlist selection, activities at stops. How to interact with security or Police? And aspects that are more nuanced. We will also cover the foundational and challenging aspects of trusting yourself, being vulnerable by revealing your niche interests and the anxieties that arise and how to find the medicine to these things in the ride itself. Bring your ideas, bring your creativity and we will try and make those part of the ride itself, as well as having people try leading the ride (with support and encouragement). During Pedalpalooza we have several slots set aside for new ride leaders to lead and be fully supported from creation of a ride to the ride itself. Please reach out as soon as possible because these fill quickly. Who are your ride leaders? Moorland: this is me writing this so….I’ve challenged myself into embracing the fear and anxieties around being around people and also expressing my creativity. I can speak to the fear and challenges of ride leading and I can also promise the rewards and gifts it can bring to the heart and our experience are beyond what we can anticipate. I also lead a lot of rides, like a crazy amount, including, what remains the most beautiful ride I’ve experienced, ‘The Opera ride’ I co-lead with Amy ‘Joy’, which was a profoundly serene ride. I also run NakedHearts:PDX and support as many ride leaders as I can. Who are you? You’re you. This is your ride and you belong here. You get to come as you are and maybe you don’t want to lead a ride but just hang out, maybe you want to lead a ride but will feel to nervous to say anything on this ride or maybe to even come to it, that’s ok, you can contact us or speak with us at another ride. Maybe, you’re over flowing with ideas and want help manifesting them and making them happen…. Or maybe you’ve got the desire to lead but struggle with ideas…. We can talk about all the different ways too approach making what you want happen in this space and afterwards.

For those of you who can't make it on Wednesday to Rainbow Plaza or for those of you who need a 2nd day of community building, or for those of you who like/love to drink wine... I present to you a weekly Tuesday event at Bar Botellon ! just three blocks from Blumenauer Bridge! $2.00 tapa with every glass of wine purchased. https://barbotellon.com/tapas - tapas menu ! https://barbotellon.com/drinks - wine menu & other drinks :) Join other bike-minded folks for good wine, great tapas, and Spaniard vibes on the corner of NE 6th & Davis at Bar Botellon every Tuesday from 4-8pm (or so). Tapas Tuesday, inspired by Bike Happy Hour on Wednesday, is a place where anyone can show up and be embraced (not literally, unless you're a hugger!) by our wonderful community. Just show up and hang out. That's it! All ages are welcome but there is only street parking and bike racks where you can park bikes and displace cars if you want. No coloring books (sorry Jonathan :/ ) or crayons for the kiddos, but feel free to bring your own activities: puzzles, chess, games, GUITARS, castanets, whatever! Happy Hour will get you a $2.00 tapa with each glass of wine purchased

Ride is a loop
With the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy coming back to theaters in early June, this bike ride is a celebration of that three-day event, getting its name from the second movie in the series. As stand-ins for the towers in the movies we are using the two towers in the West Hills that overlook downtown Portland. And like the hobbits Frodo and Sam in the movies, it will be somewhat challenging getting to our end goal. The route up to the towers is the least-steep one possible, and a designated bike route, but it still involves 900 feet of elevation gain to get to the first tower on Council Crest. That tower on Council Crest is the former KPTV transmitter, and from there it is a one mile ride to the KGON Tower at about the same elevation. The KGON Tower is also called the Stonehenge Tower and is the tallest free-standing structure between San Francisco and Seattle. These two towers have some interesting history that will be covered on the ride. Given the challenging climb on this ride, it is not specifically a costume event, but if so inclined feel free to come dressed as your favorite LOTR character. We will regroup as needed on the ride up the hill. After visiting the Stonehenge Tower we will make another stop at an overlook that provides a sweeping view extending from downtown Portland to Mount Hood. From there the ride returns to the start location at Lovejoy Fountain Park. Total ride distance is eight miles. Hope to see you on the ride! Here is information on each of the three movies, which will be shown at select theaters in Portland on the three afternoons and evenings prior to this ride: June 8 - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring June 9 - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers June 10 - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Check local listings for times and tickets. These are the extended versions of the movies, so they will be longer than the original theatrical releases from over twenty years ago.

Don your best costume for the day - one that would make Little Edie proud! Prizes! "This is the best thing to wear for today, you understand. Because I don't like women in skirts and the best thing is to wear pantyhose or some pants under a short skirt, I think. Then you have the pants under the skirt, and then you can pull the stockings up over the pants, underneath the skirt. And you can always take off the skirt and use it as a cape. So I think this is the best costume for today... " "But you see in dealing with me, the relatives didn't know that they were dealing with a staunch character and I tell you if there's anything worse than dealing with a staunch woman...

This ride happens on the 2nd Friday of EVERY month, no matter the weather. Each month we have a new ride leader taking us to a mystery destination. From this month's ride leader about the ride: "Not a lot of climbing... but there is some rough road/light trail riding. Road bikes are fine - but good lights for the off-road part may necessary. Not a short ride, closer to 10miles. But a rad route!"

meet up location has change- now meeting at Foster Powell community garden Join us for our 15th annual Foster-Powell Garden Tour! As always, it's free and family-friendly. Gardens on the tour have a variety of aesthetics and are guaranteed to provide inspiration. It's also a great way to get out and meet your neighbors and pick up some gardening info (even if you don't have a green thumb, like myself). This will be a lovely short little ride where we will just ride together from house to house, short distance covered overall. we'll stop for 10-15 minutes per house to enjoy the garden and chat with the gardener (many of these people have spent countless hours over the years transforming their outdoor spaces!). Bring water/snacks/sunscreen & we'll going to stop mid route at Essex park for their bathroom.

Ride is a loop
TV Hwy sucks to ride on even though it has a “bike lane” and is home to many businesses and housing areas where you might want to travel. This ride is a loop that will focus on 2 routes which parallel TV Hwy from Hillsboro to Beaverton but traverse lighter traveled streets and even take advantage of some much better separated bike infrastructure. Warning: though these routes are better than riding the side of TV Hwy that is a very low bar. This ride will include multiple occasions where we will have to take the lane and/or ride on the sidewalk, cross side streets without signals, and we will cross TV Hwy twice (both at traffic lights but still) as such this is not a kid friendly ride. I don't want to scare everyone off, but I do want to make sure you know what you are signing up for. Meet in the parking lot of Tualatin Hills Nature Park in Beaverton, this ride is a loop. Both the Beaverton Creek and Merlo Rd Max blue line stops are nearby for easy access from further away. Rough estimates put this ride at approx. 16mi, though if you get tired and need to drop we won't ever be far from bus line 57.

Looking for a reason to dust off your bike trailer? Curious what it’s like toting the under-five crowd around town? Wondering how you can incorporate biking into your daily life? Or are you just plain looking for other biking with babies people? (This is also a great ride to make sure your rig is set up for the next day's Sunday Parkways in NE). Join other new parents for a slow and intentional ride around the greenways in NE. We’ll stick to slow streets with fewer bumps on them to get used to toting our new precious cargo around. We'll end back at Irving Park near the playground. Meet at Irving Park by the bathrooms at 2 pm. Babies don't wait, so we'll roll out at 2:15. There are benches next to the bathrooms if you need to nurse or change diapers before the ride.

Have you ever wanted the fun of a party ride while exploring parts of Portland you’ve maybe never seen before? Well then this ride is for you! With a shared music playlist and plenty of refreshment and rest stops, we'll be traveling 31.8 miles (just a smidge longer than half a metric century!) carefully planned to balance accessibility and challenge. This will be a no drop ride, with many regroup points, and the group pace set to empower anyone up for the challenge to ride in company! Plus the whole route is within bailout distance for Trimet service! Only one longish hill, and less than two miles of mild unpaved path! If the event photo looks exciting there's also an optional bounus for some riders to split off and explore at around the half way point while the rest of us take a break. We’ll be looping around to a beautiful end spot with room for people to hang out for as long as they like. Print map available at ride start, thoughtfully ridden E-bikes welcome, all humans celebrated, be kind and chill to everyone or we will be neither kind nor chill to you.

rescheduled too Monday 17th. Bring your ideas
NakedHearts:PDX (Moorland lead)
Sat, Jun 15, 2024, 7:00 PM
More of a meeting from 7:00-8:00….
Your Hosts are Moorland and other NakedHearts:PDX ride leaders. Please treat this as the start of a conversation that we’re happy to keep having to encourage you to bring your creativity to the bike community. What can you expect? Theme: we’re going to share advice on how to lead a ride. We will go over basics such as route, stops, themes, traffic interactions and safety. How to build a themed, social or party ride. Playlist selection, activities at stops. How to interact with security or Police? And aspects that are more nuanced. We will also cover the foundational and challenging aspects of trusting yourself, being vulnerable by revealing your niche interests and the anxieties that arise and how to find the medicine to these things in the ride itself. Bring your ideas, bring your creativity and we will try and make those part of the ride itself, as well as having people try leading the ride (with support and encouragement). During Pedalpalooza we have several slots set aside for new ride leaders to lead and be fully supported from creation of a ride to the ride itself. Please reach out as soon as possible because these fill quickly. Who are your ride leaders? Moorland: this is me writing this so….I’ve challenged myself into embracing the fear and anxieties around being around people and also expressing my creativity. I can speak to the fear and challenges of ride leading and I can also promise the rewards and gifts it can bring to the heart and our experience are beyond what we can anticipate. I also lead a lot of rides, like a crazy amount, including, what remains the most beautiful ride I’ve experienced, ‘The Opera ride’ I co-lead with Amy ‘Joy’, which was a profoundly serene ride. I also run NakedHearts:PDX and support as many ride leaders as I can. Who are you? You’re you. This is your ride and you belong here. You get to come as you are and maybe you don’t want to lead a ride but just hang out, maybe you want to lead a ride but will feel to nervous to say anything on this ride or maybe to even come to it, that’s ok, you can contact us or speak with us at another ride. Maybe, you’re over flowing with ideas and want help manifesting them and making them happen…. Or maybe you’ve got the desire to lead but struggle with ideas…. We can talk about all the different ways too approach making what you want happen in this space and afterwards.

Ride bikes together with Kidical Mass PDX from Irving Park to the Northeast Cully Sunday Parkways open streets event. Sunday Parkways provides a car-free open streets celebration. Ride bike together with us to make it fun! This is a slow ride, paced for kids on bikes and parents on cargo bikes. At 11:45am we’ll ride 3 miles from Irving Park playground to Sunday Parkways route and down to Fernhill Park, where there will be food vendors, water and restrooms. We should arrive at about 12:35. After a break there from 12:35pm to 1:15pm for lunch, you can also join us if you want to ride the rest of the Sunday Parkways route together, 6 miles total with a couple of stops on the way at K Park and Wellington Park, or you can enjoy the car-free streets at your own pace. If you do the whole loop and go back to Irving Park, it will be 11 miles total. The first 1.5 miles is gradually uphill. Then after Fernhill park there are 2 more gradually hills on the way to Wellington park, with some gradual downhill sections in between. We should finish the Sunday Parkways route around 3:45 pm and be back at Irving park by 4:15 pm This will be suitable for school-age bike riders who can pedal their own bike uphill 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. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too!

There will be minimal clues. There will be glory. * Teams up to 3 are permitted if one is a parent and another is an offspring. Queer/non-traditional families welcome. * E-bikes will be credited 50% of their total points. Cahmon you've got a motor. * Onewheel/Motorized Unicycles/E-wheels are not eligible for prizes. You're...well, you're not a bike. Ride starts and ends at the same bar. Find us lathering sunscreen on the porch. Scoring closes at 3:45pm sharp. --- For the soon informed, an alley cat is a scavenger hunt/race by bike. You receive a series of clues or tasks or addresses and a minimal map, then you ride the city to solve each. Scoring is individual and varies by fastest time or by clues solved or by difficulty of clue. It is a great tradition.

riding by 6:30
8:00 PM
End location: In or near Multnomah Village, an easy 2 miles from the start.
It's easy to navigate southwest by bike once you know how far up or down you need to go on which hill. Tour some of our unfinished bikeways and missing connections with an outside-the-box look at the terrain, "paper streets", trails, and stairs. See how auto traffic has ruined all of the flat and direct routes and find a few precious places cars haven't taken over. We'll see one or two of the very rare parks with restrooms, and various transportation projects/issues, while generally avoiding most uphills and car traffic. If you don't turn when I turn, you may get lost. (We will see, but not ride the stairs or most trails.) Gather at 6:00 at Fulton Park, ride at 6:30, finish around 8. 12-ish mile loop, if we see it all, but you can bail near the start from several points in the middle. This will not be a fast or hard ride and nobody will be left behind. Note: sunset is shortly after the end. We'll try to cover at least 6-8 miles and may pause at food carts/beer or just stop at a store and finish the whole loop. Kids are welcome but will need to be passenger/stoker unless they are capable riding around traffic, okay with climbing, and can handle ~12mph comfortably.

7:00 PM
This isn't a bike ride! Whaa?? It's a community-led online political event dedicated to getting a city with more bike fun. Here's the big idea: $5 from you to each of 4 great candidates. In one hour, we in the biking movement can unlock $20,000 for a better city. Portland's new election system gives power to the people. For one hour, Kiel, Michael, Maureen, and Meghan are hosting a short online conversation with four great people-powered city council candidates, one from each district, who we're confident deserve a spot in your top three in November. We hope you'll join, hear from each of them about their housing and transportation policies, submit a question or two, and agree with us to give $5 to each. With the power of Portland's public campaign financing, we can raise a total of $20,000 for them to keep spreading their bike-friendly, pro-housing messages. That's enough to give all these candidates a huge burst of momentum -- and to make a big political splash on behalf of equitable transportation, abundant housing, and a city for everyone. The candidates are: Timur Ender in District 1 (East), Marnie Glickman in District 2 (Northeast), Angelita Morillo in District 3 (Southeast), and Chad Lykins in District 4 (West). (There are other good candidates in every district! If this goes well, there might be another with different candidates!) All lovers of bikes and/or homes are welcome! Hope you can join.

Update: August ride moved to September so as not to compete with other fun rides and still be on a Thursday! Bring your picnic'in supplies and let's ride to and picnic at the best view point in the city! This is an annual ride that happens every month in the summer and has been going on for about 15 years. Bring food to share if you'd like. We'll have a short stop near a Plaid Pantry on the way. I'll have my speaker/trailer for music. We won't have any crazy bass DJs at the top this year so that we can focus on a nice quiet picnic experience. But once it gets dark we will have a little dance sesh! This is a safe space where we practice consent and non-violence. This ride follows the SHIFT code of conduct, and if you’re a banned from posting there, you're banned here, too. We have no tolerance for bigotry, hatred, and bullies.

Ride is a loop
What can you expect? Theme: A collection of songs from around the World and genres and decades. The main element is this music is to open the heart, bring ease to conversations, and let beautiful female voices drift over our city punctuated by our bells, laughter and soft toned speech. Route: This will be a very gentle ride. We will keep the pace slow, avoid hills and mostly be on Greenways (maybe I can even avoid going through parking garages…..I’m obsessed so it’ll happen still….but it’ll be The St Joseph’s M?ori girls choir resonating under the Lloyd center). Ride etiquette: Stay behind your ride leader (freak/fixie bikes roll how you need), Turn your lights too solid and dip them if you can. Male voices please limit shouting out turns loudly. Please keep smoking to the edges. Mellow Mondays rides are an ongoing ride for chilling with friends and welcoming new people to our community. Gift sharing is optional and small gifts such as snacks or stickers are just an easy way for us all to come together and get to know each other. We will have different ride leaders now and then but we all foster our community of joy and acceptance starting from a place of trust and safety. All of our rides are safe spaces and we foster a community of acceptance and mutual regard. Additional information: We strongly recommend any and all PDX:Unity rides and the warm/safe atmosphere they create for our marginalized communities. (We recommend Abraham Fixes bikes on N Williams, they’re a small community oriented business that have had some issues with vandalism recently. They’ve also got a stellar reputation and care about their work and us.)

Bring your ideas.
NakedHearts:PDX (Moorland lead)
Mon, Jun 17, 2024, 7:00 PM
More of a meeting from 7:00-8:00….
Your Hosts are Moorland and other NakedHearts:PDX ride leaders. Please treat this as the start of a conversation that we’re happy to keep having to encourage you to bring your creativity to the bike community. What can you expect? Theme: we’re going to share advice on how to lead a ride. We will go over basics such as route, stops, themes, traffic interactions and safety. How to build a themed, social or party ride. Playlist selection, activities at stops. How to interact with security or Police? And aspects that are more nuanced. We will also cover the foundational and challenging aspects of trusting yourself, being vulnerable by revealing your niche interests and the anxieties that arise and how to find the medicine to these things in the ride itself. Bring your ideas, bring your creativity and we will try and make those part of the ride itself, as well as having people try leading the ride (with support and encouragement). During Pedalpalooza we have several slots set aside for new ride leaders to lead and be fully supported from creation of a ride to the ride itself. Please reach out as soon as possible because these fill quickly. Who are your ride leaders? Moorland: this is me writing this so….I’ve challenged myself into embracing the fear and anxieties around being around people and also expressing my creativity. I can speak to the fear and challenges of ride leading and I can also promise the rewards and gifts it can bring to the heart and our experience are beyond what we can anticipate. I also lead a lot of rides, like a crazy amount, including, what remains the most beautiful ride I’ve experienced, ‘The Opera ride’ I co-lead with Amy ‘Joy’, which was a profoundly serene ride. I also run NakedHearts:PDX and support as many ride leaders as I can. Who are you? You’re you. This is your ride and you belong here. You get to come as you are and maybe you don’t want to lead a ride but just hang out, maybe you want to lead a ride but will feel to nervous to say anything on this ride or maybe to even come to it, that’s ok, you can contact us or speak with us at another ride. Maybe, you’re over flowing with ideas and want help manifesting them and making them happen…. Or maybe you’ve got the desire to lead but struggle with ideas…. We can talk about all the different ways too approach making what you want happen in this space and afterwards.

End location: Mayfly is a community oriented taproom in North Portland (8350 N Fenwick Ave, right near the Denver Ave MAX Station). Craft beer, local wine, and good times.
Get ready to unwind with a post-work whip around the classic NoPo loop - approximately 15 miles through North Portland's greatest hits. You know the route: cruise the Crest along the Willamette Blvd, under the iconic St. John's Bridge, up the lonely stretch of Lombard, and sneak through the hushed industrial district after hours. Then, it's a car-free joyride along Kelley Point's extra-wide multi-use paths, past Smith & Bybee's serene wetlands, and the Columbia Slough trail by Heron Lakes and PIR. We even get a bonus mile of gravel (courtesy of the charmingly crumbling Slough trail path). This ride is tailor-made for those who fancy a slightly spicier pace. We'll meet at the Dog Bowl bluffs just off of N. Willamette Blvd and roll *promptly* at 5:45 pm (for realz). Afterward, convene at Mayfly Taphouse (8350 N Fenwick Ave, right next to the Denver Ave MAX Station) for a well-deserved post-ride beverage and general schmoozing. If this sounds like your kind of fun, let's turn Wednesdays into our regular NoPo night out.

Back for its 14th 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

"You never forget your first Camaro.” Am I right? Who else, fell in into the hole that was Love Lies Bleeding and never wanted to get out? Well ya’ll it’s time to relive that dark, gritty magic. Think tanning oil, cigarettes, bugs, 80’s gym attire, mega muscles, queers, sweaty bodies, all set to the 80’s soundtrack of your dreams. The ride will meet at 5:30pm at Prism Moves - Portland’s own queer-owned gym. Expect to stop for body oiling breaks and a body building competition - start brushing up on your poses! The ride will end at Bye and Bye on Alberta for drinks, bites and socializing. Help us set the vibe; dress to the 1989s in your throw back gym clothes, bring weights if you want to keep your muscles toned for the competition, or go the Kristen Stewart route; scrawny, sweaty, grungy and undeniably sexy. Let’s make Rose Glass proud ya’ll and remember… “don’t fall in love, okay? It hurts.” P.S. - Prism Moves fell upon hard times during the pandemic, it would mean a lot to them and to us if you donated a couple dollars to ensure this inclusive gym stays open for a good long time. Donate at https://www.gofundme.com/f/prism-moves-acp, thanks! Prism Moves Prism Moves was created to fill service gaps in the fitness industry, which historically centers white, thin, cis, heteronormative individuals and rarely makes room for those that do not fit this description, thereby creating a lack of health equity. Women, BIPOC individuals, LGBTQIA2+ individuals, larger-bodied humans rarely have access to fitness spaces that accommodate them and make them feel welcome. We offer free and sliding scale memberships and partner with nonprofits that serve similar populations.

Rolling at 8
Spinning from sunset to sunrise for summer solstice! The shortest night of the year rolls us into a new season. The Subsolar point becomes most northern at 1:50pm (Solstice O'Clock). Rolling for the usual on my 4th lead of the June ride! ALL NIGHT. Solstice/Equinox rides aims to cover ground and be adventurous to test gear and challenge rider endurance! Take this as you will. My aim is to take you to places you may have never been. Pace is swift but with stops and regroups. Can't guarantee no drops because it's long format, you are the best judge of your abilities and energy level. Discuss exit point(s) with ride leader or fellow riders if you need to bail but are unsure. Otherwise, expect to stick with the group until the sun comes up! Route details: around 60 miles, just under 3000ft climb (8xMt.Tabor for comparison/perspective). We have ALL NIGHT, i.e. around 9h ride duration (so something like 6h in the saddle and 3h breaks). Be prepared to ride 10-15mph (depending on segment). Caution: contains "funny business," i.e. trail/gravel, non bike routes, and potential hike-a-bike sections. No drop mentality, the group will stop for mechanicals etc. Come prepared! Layers (cool temps and potential overgrown paths), lights, xtra charge, food, water, bug spray are clever. Bring what you need yet pack light. At least one proper store stop and 24/7. Leave no trace. Ready your bikes for the upcoming season (check your breaks/tires/grease chains)! Look for long format day rides quarterly for all seasonal shifts. ->Fall Equinox->Winter Solstice->Spring Equinox-> Feel free to reach out with questions.

Portland might be famous for its MAX trains and Tillikum Crossing these days, but back at the turn of the 20th Century Portland, like most American cities, had an extensive streetcar network which fueled development of neighborhoods far from the city center. Commercial development followed the streetcar, creating many of the walkable neighborhoods we love today. Portland abandoned and paved over its streetcar tracks in the years after World War II, but here and there you can see tracks trying to peak up from below, reminding us of a time before cars commandeered our roads and good public transit was considered the height of fashion and technology and essential to any decent city. Learn more about the history of the streetcar in Northeast Portland, and its long lasting impact on development and transit in Northeast Portland. This 10 mile loop ride will include stops showing different pieces of the network. This educational ride will be family friendly and all are welcome.

This family-friendly, kid-paced bike ride first happened in June 2008 on a route downtown similar to this one.

The ride is free, but bring money for yogurt. Meet at 2:15pm, ride at 2:30pm. The ride is a loop, 3.5 miles total, with a 30 minute break at the park and yogurt shop after 1.5 miles, so it is suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike without training wheels. We should be back to the start by 4:15 pm. We ride at a moderate pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to balance and pedal in a straight line, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal. Adult corkers are welcome to join as a traffic safety superheroes. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too! Route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46407664

We will meet at the Columbia Cottage on the south side of Columbia Park, just inside of the park off of N Lombard and N Russet at 9:45 AM, and begin the ride at 10 AM. We will ride/walk the Columbia loop path and circle around to the playground on the North side of the park for snack and play time. Please make sure your toddler is wearing a helmet because, safety first, and please bring whatever snacks for your kiddo(s). The goal of this ride is to get our toddlers stoked on bikes and to make it back home for lunch and nap time. See you there!

Like bikes and hate factory farms? Well, this is the perfect bike ride for you! We are Food & Water Watch, an environmental organization fighting for clean air, water and a livable climate for all. In Oregon, we're focused on fighting back against the expansion of factory farming across the state! We're hosting a Week of Action from June 23rd to June 28th and decided to kick things off with a community bike ride! We'll meet in Laurelhurst Park at 10 a.m. to chat about our campaign to stop factory farms in Oregon and write postcards to legislators together. Around 10:45, we'll hop on our bikes and ride to King Farmers' Market to support some of our favorite independent farmers! Bike ride will be led by FWW's organizer, Aimee Travis. Join us to kick off a powerful week of action, have some fun, and ride bikes together! About the Week of Action: We are part of the Stand Up to Factory Farms Coalition, and were hosting a Week of Action to mark the six-year anniversary of shutting down the Lost Valley Mega-Dairy. We're sending the message to Governor Kotek and Oregon legislators that more action is still needed to protect Oregon’s communities, environment, family-scale farmers, farm workers, and animals from factory farming.

On June 23, 1977, the cyborg Venturion attempted to strangle a young Rusty Venture following a glitch in his programming brought on by memories of young Malcolm Fitzcarraldo and Rusty Venture playing together. Kano, the bodyguard of the Ventures, twists his old friend and former partner Venturion's head off to prevent injury to Rusty, afterward taking a vow of silence as penance. This ride will commemorate the death of Venturion and celebrate all of the incredible, intricate storytelling and humor that is The Venture Brothers. Costumes encouraged. We'll assemble in Ladd's Circle. At 2, we'll do a short V to work out the kinks, then a leisurely ride down to Woodstock, where you can get picnic supplies at Bi-Rite, Safeway, New Seasons, or The Heist. That's about 5 miles with just a few short uphills. We'll stop for 20 minutes to allow folks to stock up, then assemble in front of the Safeway. We'll then mosey about 2 miles more to Kenilworth Park with its multiple shady picnic tables and performance circles.

Let’s make it a paw-fect day: - Always ask permission before petting someone else's dog - Bring plenty of water for your pets - Poop bags and pick up required - It's ok if you want to have your dog run alongside your bike but just make sure your pup can keep a pace of around 8mph for a few miles. Also, please check the asphalt temperature to make sure you are not going to burn your pup's paws. Otherwise, a pet carrier of some type is recommended - We will not be making any store stops so please come prepared This is a no-drop ride, but please bring your repair kit with a spare tube so we can keep the ride rolling. Please bring your own provisions; we’ll be stopping near stores, but not at them. Each member has an eye out for the crowd, will cork, sweep and be a general pillar of support. Ride pace is casual at around 10 miles with a few park stops. We aim to impress that this is a safe environment for all; no aggressive, sexist, racist, or any other kind of BS will be tolerated.

At each stop, singer-songwriter / 'ukulele teacher Avery Hill will lead a few 3-chord songs for the group to play and sing, then we'll move on to our next jam spot. Songs are geared (haha) toward 'ukulele players, but other instruments and/or sing-along-ers are very welcome. Riding details: This will not be an arduous ride, and we will stick to bike-friendly streets. The ride is NOT a loop but the final stop is only a five-minute ride from the start. If you haven’t ridden with an instrument case on your back or your bicycle, give it a try before the ride so you find the right fit / position for you (tip: wear your instrument diagonally across your back to avoid hitting your helmet with it!) What to bring: Helmets and water bottles are strongly urged, as well as any snacks you may want to have on hand (no snack stops planned). You may want a towel or blanket to sit on at each jam spot if you don't like sitting directly on grass. We may also ride late enough that you’ll want your lights to ride home. Questions?

Beige can mean boring, or safe. It can blend in, or it can be the weird that doesn't quite match. Beige is everywhere - so much so that it becomes invisible. It's even, dare I say, underrated. The feeling of déjà vu gives a sense of magic in the mundane, so let's throw some neutral toned sparkle on this beige Tuesday. Come dressed in your beige, bring beige food, engage with the beige however you can. We'll have a mellow, safe, run of the mill ride, and take a look at the (déjà) view. Be boring, be safe, be weird. Above all, be kind.

The ever illusive *Lunchtime Slice Case* - truly a thing of beauty... This ride is an homage to these brave pizzaiolos who - against all odds - continue bringing these triangular slices of foldable melty magic to everyday working people during lunch time hours. FOUR Portland quadrants, EIGHT pizzerias (maybe even nine??). Square pizzas have FOUR corners, round pizzas (usually) have EIGHT slices. COINCIDENCE? I DUN THINKSO!! THE ROUTE: https://ridewithgps.com/trips/189414034 Pace for this ride will be spirited but social, we'll have lots of ground to cover and pizza to consume so departures from each stop will be timely! Within reason, we will stop for mechanicals but we got places to be and pizza to eat!! An important note re/ pizzeria courtesy: PLEASE DO NOT OVERWHELM these wonderful businesses. Have you ever been on a big ride that store-stops at a 7-Eleven with one guy at the register? Ya, I hate that. I'm gonna call or stop by all our pizza shop stops to let them know this ride is happening. Help by doing your part: have a pal to stand in line for you, maybe share a slice with someone, or just wait til the next stop if the line is long. I will bring a pizza cutter to slice regular slices down into smaller ones! This is not a contest to see who can eat the most slices, leave some for others. If you are absolutely determined to eat a slice at every stop, I will share the route so you can ride ahead and beat the group. Plz don't be a jerk to these lovely pizza people. They deserve your respect AND YOUR TIP MONEY!!!! Anyone showing anti-pizzaiolo behavior will be ejected from the ride. Route starts at Baby Doll pizza, meet at 11am to grab the first few slices off the pizza peel before a strict 11:15 departure. Ride isn't quite a full loop, but begins and ends in SE. We'll first head into NE, then across the Broadway Bridge to NW, then to SW before heading back across the river to SE. Entire route is about 16 miles.

End location: Mayfly community taphouse. 8350 N Fenwick Ave, right next to the Denver MAX Station
Unwind with a post-work whip around the classic NoPo loop - approximately 15 miles through North Portland's greatest hits. You know the route: cruise the Crest along the Willamette Blvd, under the iconic St. John's Bridge, up the lonely stretch of Lombard, and sneak through the hushed industrial district after hours. Then, it's a car-free joyride along Kelley Point's extra-wide multi-use paths, past Smith & Bybee's serene wetlands, and the Columbia Slough trail by Heron Lakes and PIR. We even get a bonus mile of gravel (courtesy of the charmingly crumbling Slough trail path). This ride is for those who fancy a slightly spicier pace. E-bikes are welcome, too. We'll meet at the Dog Bowl bluffs just off of N. Willamette Blvd and roll *promptly* at 5:45 pm (for realz). Afterward, convene at Mayfly Taphouse (8350 N Fenwick Ave, right next to the Denver Ave MAX Station) for a well-deserved post-ride beverage and general schmoozing. If this sounds like your kind of fun, let's turn Wednesdays into our regular NoPo night out.

As our mutual friend Mike says, "This neighborhood has gone to the crows." Where do they come from? How are there so many? We ride as they do - we will follow them. The ride could be a loop. It will be an hour. If the birds cross the highway or the OHSU tram or Washington Park or Johnson Creek, well, they win this round. This will be a drop ride (gotta keep up with those birds). But it will also be a safe ride - birds may run red lights but we won't. Birders and knowledgable folks are encouraged to come. We hold many avian mysteries and few facts. The crows seasonally flock in the fall and winter and go to bed early. We may find few, if any, but the spirit of Pedalpalooza is to do, not to succeed.

Oregon Humanities' Civic Love Ride is back, bringing even more goodness to Bike Summer's abundance of inspiration and connection! Join us on a free, all-ages ride that celebrates civic love, which has been described as love for society expressed through a commitment to the common good and a belief that we are all better off when we are ALL better off! We'll pedal together to several meaningful locations where individuals, organizations, and collectives are demonstrating a commitment to civic love. In their brief but bountiful presentations, we'll hear about what they do and how they see civic love alive, striving, and thriving in their work and communities. Presenters include: LaQuida Landford of AfroVillage PDX, Master Artist Michael Bernard Stevenson Jr., Nikki Brown Clown, and more! The ride will end with a cool, collective gathering where we'll share ideas about how we can deepen our own civic love practices, and connect with each other utilizing the National Public Housing Museum's 36 Questions for Civic Love, which were created to help us all rise in civic love. As always, civic love-themed music and prizes will certainly sweeten the deal.

"Do you expect me to walk?" "No, Mr Bond, I expect you to ride!" On the anniversary of Roger Moore's first foray as the legendary British agent James Bond in Live and Let Die, on special orders from M we will jump on our Q-issued two-wheelers and in a race against time take to the streets to defy the villains and win the day! We'll be listening to a selection of Bond theme tunes, including ones that were rejected by artists such as Muse, Blondie, Pulp, The Pet Shop Boys and even Ace of Base! Show up at (00)7pm to hear them all, but we'll be there playing Bond-esque tunes from 6.45pm. Choose an apt Bond girl name and put on your most glamorous evening gown, become Scaramanga, Le Chiffre or Blofeld (fluffy white cats welcome) or if you plan on being the main man himself maybe go 'full Bond' with a wetsuit underneath a tuxedo. This ride will leave you shaken and stirred - and that's not just down to the ubiquitous potholes that form the majority of the city's paved areas. This ride adheres to the Shift Code of Conduct; respect, consent and mellowness are a given on this calm, fun, welcoming and safe ride. The intent is for this ride to be a small old-school one where we all feel comfortable so please read the following carefully: * Leave your tracking device at home (no photos/videos): This is meant as an experiential ride where we're enjoying being in the moment. Think 007 living moment to moment and not stepping out of the now to take selfies or videos. 007 doesn't need 'likes', he gets all the rushes he needs from saving the world! * No creepiness: This is a female-led fun ride by a movie buff who expects those attending to adopt the manners becoming of a screen hero, not the disturbing demeanor of a Bond villain. The ride is female and child-friendly, so do behave accordingly. * This is a sober and drug-free ride. Bring your shaken not stirred martini if you like, but for the sake of the comfort and safety of other riders please make it a non-alcoholic version. * If you want to listen to anything else apart from the Bond theme tunes played by the ride leader, this isn't the ride for you. It's frustrating for other riders to have random beats rolling past them when they're trying to listen to Shirley Bassey belt out a tune. * Two-wheelers only: This ride can only accommodate bicycles (trailers ok); not skates, rollerblades, skateboards or onewheels. Meet at 3303 S Bond Ave, Portland OR 97232 by the base of the aerial tram (hopefully Jaws won't be there chewing through the cables). Meet at (00)7.00pm, ride at 7.30pm promptly. There will be a brief mid-ride store stop. There will be a further stop for a Bond quiz. This will be a no-drop ride, once we've set off we won't ride off into the sunset without you! Ride will end at a special location in inner SE.

Come celebrate your love and relationship with us! We are getting married, but we all know the real celebration happens with bikes. So we have planned a romantic ride that will start at the Salmon Street Springs fountain and end with a cozy picnic (or you can turn it into a date with your partner?) and an evening of comedy at Laurelhurst Park (thanks Kickstand!). There will likely be a fair amount of biketown and other electric bikes, so if you don't like being around them this might not be the ride for you. This will be an easy paced ride through some classic bikeways around the southern side of this fair city. We will plan to stop at 28th Ave food carts/Rainbow Road near the end point and you can get food to take to a picnic and watch comedy in the park. Wedding costumes are encouraged and corkers are appreciated!

The Sprockettes first performed in 2004 at Multnomah County Bike Fair (former final Pedalpalooza day-long bike party!) as the world's first minibike dance team. We danced with each other on bikes built for 5 year olds, learned how to work together as a team, built our organizing skills, advocated for bikes and bikefun, and contributed to the revolution with our whole hot pink and black hearts. The Sprockettes spawned other bike dance teams up and down the west coast and generally kicked ass. The Sprockettes disbanded in 2019, but many former Sprockettes are in town for our 20th anniversary! We won't be performing (you can check youtube to relive those memories), but we'd love to hang with you. Come to Irving Park on Friday at 6 and say hi before the Loud n Lit ride!

A choose-your-own-adventure multi-sport race. Sports are running, biking, and skating and participants may complete all (in any order) or choose just one or two.

Participants can do a shorter distance if they choose and will still get medals and sport tokens, just not official times/rankings. Featuring aid stations with snacks, photographer, medic. All ages, all paces, and all skill levels welcome (kids must be accompanied by an adult). This is a small community race; please register in advance. All proceeds after supply costs are donated to Columbia Riverkeeper. Registration is $40. Skate rentals are available for an additional $15 from the Rose City Rollers SkateMobile.

It's spring! Let's look at some cherry blossoms and other sweet spring blooms while listening to Twee. What is Twee? People may have their own interpretation, but for this ride it's late 90's and early/mid 2000's indie rock/post-riot grrrl/ indie-brit-pop. Here are some artists for reference: Heavenly, Belle and Sebastian, Tullycraft, The Pastels, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Camera Obscura, Dressy Bessy, and more! (Also playing twee-adajacent tunes) Twee to me is the perfect soundtrack to spring, with its sweet, earnest, hopeful, and sometimes messy and self deprecating sounds. Put on your cutest pastel sweater, a wool cardigan, your favorite patterned socks, and let's have a cute wholesome time. Ride will start at Oregon park, ride through some cute houses and front yards in Irvington/ kerns, store stop for tea and snacks, and then end at water front, where we will hangout with the cherry trees. Route will be 7-10 miles, chill pace. Bring your speakers to join the Spotify jam!

We’re going to be getting down hard and badly on this dance ride. You’re invited to embrace the weirdness and be in an attitude that translates to personal Empowerment and a greater sense of self off the dance floor….Well that’s my excuse… I’ll fitting clothes recommended… Music will be dance centric and more than just EDM and Lizzo (but there will be Lizzo and EDM). Route will be a loop. Pace will be slow and social. Refreshment stop early. We will visit 3-4 dance spots each for about 10-15 mins before rolling.

Ride is a loop
Did you know there is no scientific difference between a toad and a frog? Essentially, what is a frog and what is a toad is entirely a naming convention based on whether human beings think of the creature as either a shiny pretty little fella, or well... as a toad. Anyway, the road up to Larch Mountain has new asphalt and where it was as lumpy as a toad's skin in some places last year, it's as smooth as a frog's skin this year. So let's ride it! We'll meet up at a Seltzer favorite: Sugarpine Drive In (and we'll return to that location as well). Larch Mountain is an out-and-back, with a little extracurricular hike at the top to Sherrard Point where on a clear day, five volcano peaks can be seen: St Helens, Mt Hood, Mt Adams, Mt Washington and Mt Jefferson. It's a great view and a great reward for the work that's necessary to get there. Those who have skipped ahead to take a look at the ride profile can see that it's a very straightforward ride: the first half we go up, the second half we go down. Larch Mountain isn't a very hard climb, it's just very long. And that makes it hard. Anyway, at the end there will be a sundae waiting for us. Sunday for a sundae. I can't wait. Meet-up at 10AM, rollout at 10:15 sharp. This is a road ride, so skinny tires will do. But wider tires are never a bad idea. -- Seltzer Cycling Club is an inclusive, moderately-paced cycling club based in Portland, Oregon. Our rides sit squarely on the fun side of tough. Aspiring to support and empower each other into more confident and all-round riders. Some weeks that's a chill local roller to a hidden-away bakery. Others, a multi-day slog in the mountains. But most often you will find something in between, blending road and gravel. And always a 100% no-drop, social-first and group supported ride.

Including magic. - Much of the alleys are 'rideable', but there are some big bumps and glass out there. Larger tires recommended. - Be prepared to fix a flat (bring tools, have your transit pass handy, phone a friend...) - This is a 'drop' ride: if you get a flat, we're so very sorry! But the fun must go on... - If either of the ride leaders get a flat, well, we're gonna chill in the alley for a few minutes :) - Fun people only! What do you say, are you ready to ride through some alleys!?

End location: Grassy/field area
This ride is an experiment in collective movement ! Do you have fond memories of the parachute from elementary school? Do you enjoy free form movement expressions that make you laugh? How about just any excuse to get a little bit weird? We need more love! Come open to going beyond tolerance and into kindness, belonging and love. For this ride, we visit a grassy park to explore the COCOON, a sheer, stretchy fabric enclosure. Together inside the Cocoon we merge into the collective membrane, surrendering to the playful, freeing form of expression. The true magic of the Cocoon is the energy stirred up by all the participants inside, to emerge transformed. While there is no particular skill required to perform the Cocoon, it magnetizes the curious and becomes a spontaneous inclusive community. Inside the Cocoon, healing is possible. We hope to engage the Cocoon as an incubator for collective re-imagination and future-building conversations. We are a small group of queer NBs and others intent on creating a playful, inclusive community. While kids love the Cocoon, this is an adult activity because adults need to remember how to play. Haters will be canceled. Contact us if you have any questions and to RSVP ! Rides will be the last Sunday of the month with a different loop each time! This is a no-drop ride, Expect a leisurely-paced conversational ride over a total of approx 7-9 miles with a store stop and 2 park visits for cocooning and more cocoon time at the end at the park where we start and finish! Restrooms will be nearby at all park stops. Please note that the Cocoon experience is a HIGH-RISK covid activity. Please do not get inside the cocoon unless you are COVID symptom-free and/or recently tested negative. You may be asked to not participate at the discretion of the organizers of the ride if you are showing COVID symptoms. Please be vaccinated! The Cocoon project was founded in 2010 as an interactive performance art collaborative based in NYC. The collaborative included sound artists, video media artists, musicians, dancers and other movement-based performers and the audience. Join us as we discover what Cocoon PDX wants to be!

Do you have a bike? Do you know a toddler? Do you want to bike with that toddler?! Of course you do! Join us for a Biking with Toddlers Clinic to learn the basic skills needed to ride with a little passenger, and to practice those skills in a safe, supportive, and car-free environment. Bring your own bike, toddler, and passenger carry system, or practice with one of ours! The bike systems that will be available to practice with include: 1) road bike with rear rack mount child seat, 2) cargo e-bike with rear rack mount child seat, 3) road bike with front mount child seat, and 4) tow behind trailer. Please bring your own safety equipment. Oregon law requires everyone under the age of 16 to wear a helmet while riding a bike. This clinic is for everyone interested in biking with littles. Have you always wanted to bike with your little one and don’t know where to start? Have you been debating which passenger system is right for you? Are you intimidated by the thought of biking on the mean streets of Portland? Are you an avid toddler-toting cyclists looking to build community with other toddler-toters? This clinic is for you! The Biking with Toddlers Clinic will cover: 1. Making sure the passenger carry system is secure on the bike. 2. Practicing loading and unloading the passenger from the carry system. 3. Making sure the passenger is secure in the harness. 4. Making sure the helmet is secure on the passenger. 5. Traffic safety information and rules for biking on roads. 6. Practicing biking with passengers in a car free zone. 7. Optional slow roll ride through the neighborhood for those comfortable riding on shared bike route streets. If you know a toddler*, you know that the best made plans don’t always go… as…. planned…. This clinic will be held at Rose City Park Elementary School, so if you or your toddler need to take a break and visit the playground, you are welcome to do so at any time. Restroom access is unknown at this time. *Toddler participation may vary depending on the status of nap and snack time. Resources to get you started: • City of Portland Family Biking Guide - Information to help you prepare for all stages of family biking from the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) including biking while pregnant, with kids of all ages, and helping kids prepare to bike alone. • PDX Cargo Bike Gang - A Facebook group of cargo/family biking lovers looking to promote community by group rides and get-togethers. • BikePortland - A local biking news source often covering family bik¬ing topics. • Bike Portland Family Biking Column – Family biking related articles published by BikePortland. • Family Ride - Portland-based blog promoting everyday family biking with two small passengers. • Tiny Helmets Big Bikes - Follow the adventures of a Sacramento-based biking family. Site includes a “Getting Started” section with tips on safety and what to pack for a variety of trips with kids. • Kidical Mass PDX - A family-oriented biking group riding rain or shine all over the city, at a slow pace, and only a few miles at a time. Ride themes range from Kites & Bubbles to Family Bike Camping. Find them on Facebook.

Ride is a loop
Celebrate the COOLEST winter holidays in the HOTTEST season of the year! Wear a costume. Sing carols at the top of your lungs. Make pedestrians & drivers do a double-take and say, "Whaaaaaa..!?" I’ll load my trailer with ice cold drinks and a loud bluetooth speaker. My playlist has Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas songs, but we can take turns if you BYOM. At the end of the ride, we’ll vote for best costume and best-decorated bike, with a prize for each winner. In previous years we've seen a Christmas tree & wreath on a trailer, beanie-baby dragons wearing Christmas hats, and riders dressed as Santa, elves, and that awesome character "Jack" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas.” That Jack is not to be confused with the person named Jack who leads the "Hi-Viz Ride" -- he'll lead his "Halloween in June" ride at the same time as this one. His Halloween ride always duels with our Winter Holidays ride, but in a good way. Meet at Holladay Park near Lloyd Center at 4:30 pm and optionally decorate your bike. As usual, I'll bring snow spray, holiday stickers, tinsel, etc. We'll meet with the "Halloween Ride" group, and both groups will ride together starting at 5 and be back at Holladay Park by 6, in time for riders to grab a bite (bring or buy your food) then meet up with the Inflatable Costume Ride that starts at 6:30 pm, also at Holladay Park.

The spirit of Halloween is alive in Portland, even in Summer! It’s never too scary and never too early in the year for Halloween candy. I’ll bring treats for those in costume. Not long ago this ride happened when it was 116 degrees out, so everyone do your 'no-heat-wave-dance' beforehand. Holladay Park has water fountains you can bike through to cool off. This ride joins the “Winter Holidays in June” ride - more costumes! A fun chill ride with a stop for pics and a pit stop, then back to Holladay by 6 for a costume contest. If you wear an inflatable costume for this ride, you can get 2-for-1 by sticking around afterward for the Inflatable Costume ride. That ride meets 30 mins. after this one ends, and starts from the exact same park. Dress up, eat treats, and listen to ghoulish music as we ride!

DESTINATION & STOPS UPDATE: the ride will stop at 2 locations and end at Pink Rabbit: 1) 4321 SE Hawthorne - a Tarot Show starts at 7:30 - i wonder if there is a card for this situation... 2) 350 W Burnside - Dante's - a band called Sweet & Juicy starts at 7pm. they are known for wearing fruit costumes 3) 232 NW 12th Ave - Pink Rabbit - and outdoor patio and last day of pride are the perfect way to end wear an inflatable costume and ride a bicycle. 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. :) this will be one of your best summer memories for sure! 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. Definitely want to ride across Blumenauer Bridge - twice ! 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! ride will end somewhere fun !!

We aim to cultivate a positive culture of inclusivity and fun and highlight the Duckworth Dock as a key amenity of Lloyd District. This is your chance to dive into the best swimming hole in central city Portland, right on the Eastbank Esplanade. Bring your floaties and fins and goggles and smiles For those who are interested in swimming we will have lifeguards on site, and of course the Willamette River has lots to offer if you just want to dip your feet in over the edge, listen to music, people watch and take in the bridges, Amtrak trains crossing the river and the sunset. Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bicycle, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth. Many thanks to our sponsors and partners to help make this happen - you rock!

End location: Mayfly community taphouse, best joint in the neighborhood! 8350 N Fenwick Ave, right next to the Denver MAX Station
Unwind with a post-work whip around the classic NoPo loop - approximately 15 miles through North Portland's greatest hits. You know the route: cruise the Crest along the Willamette Blvd, under the iconic St. John's Bridge, up the lonely stretch of Lombard, and sneak through the hushed industrial district after hours. Then, it's a car-free joyride along Kelley Point's extra-wide multi-use paths, past Smith & Bybee's serene wetlands, and the Columbia Slough trail by Heron Lakes and PIR. We even get a bonus mile of gravel (courtesy of the charmingly crumbling Slough trail path). This ride is for those who fancy a slightly spicier pace and it IS a drop ride cuz we'd like to keep it movin'. E-bikes are welcome! We'll meet at the Dog Bowl bluffs just off of N. Willamette Blvd and roll *promptly* at 5:45 pm (for realz). Afterward, convene at Mayfly Taphouse (8350 N Fenwick Ave, right next to the Denver Ave MAX Station) for a well-deserved post-ride beverage and general schmoozing.

If you're not familiar with the show, check out this video for an overview: youtube.com/watch?v=6wHXotwim9g&t=80s This event will mimic an episode of the show with four location clues and challenges as teams of two race around the world for the coveted cash prize of $0 million. To participate, please RSVP and come with a teammate and bikes for both of you. Dressing in team uniforms is optional but highly encouraged! You'll also want to bring water bottles, snacks, and wear clothes that keep you comfortable in the heat. The distance between "cities" on this race will be 1-3 miles, for a total of 10-15 miles for the entire race. Regular bikes and e-bikes welcome. We can't accept more teams but you are welcome to watch and bike along (helping is prohibited though because we want it to be as real as ruthless reality TV :P)

(Ride leaders family, before emigrating, lived in the same village in Wales for over 800 years) What better way to celebrate America’s independence than celebrating a country that fiercely stood independent from all foreign powers for 10,000 years. The Welsh Genetic lineage began around 10,000 years ago when they broke away from ancient Britons. The Ice Age had recently ended and the scoured land of Wales became accessible as 100’s of meters of Ice retreated. The Welsh people left the low lands of England by their Border and took to the hills of Wales. Rumors that his divergence is due to their tight bonds with Neanderthals exist. Over a vast span of time the Welsh resisted occupation, by every empire and country that tried. The Vikings, Anglo-Saxon’s, The Roman Empire, The British Empire, and countless tribes attempted to conquer Wales. Yet, the Welsh had perfected Guerrilla warfare, had a reputation of strength and were defiantly unstoppable against massive forces. The current population of Welsh people in Wales is about the same as the population of Greater Portland. The Welsh people maintain their language, roads signs are in Welsh all Government paperwork is in Welsh, and the Welsh country side is often filled with smoke from the deliberate burning of the second homes of English people. The Welsh through their independent history have made themselves a distinct genetic group that resembles a people as isolated as tribes in South America despite being adjacent to England.

End location: There is a decent bit of climbing to the end
Super Smash Bros, originally created by Nintendo's Masahiro Sakurai in 1999, has been an amazing video game franchise for decades, offering a unique platforming battle royal experience between all your favorite Nintendo characters. Taking place in fantasy worlds and using weapons throughout the Nintendo universe, the goal was to eliminate opponents by building up damage percentages and eventually sending them flying off the side of the screen. It's provided countless hours of entertainment in my life from childhood sleep-overs, to college parties, to work events. And now, I want to bring it to Pedalpalooza. Come ride bikes with me through some cool Portland neighborhoods dressed as your favorite Nintendo character, bring a PROP weapon to tie the look together. You'll need it by the end. The ride will stop by 5 different locations that, with the right imagination, could serve as Super Smash Bros levels. Each stop, after the first, will include a new round of bracket-style, non-physical elimination determined. Dress up. Ride bikes. Have fun. No store-stops, so come prepared with any provisions, rations, vittles, or whatever you need to get your game on. If you have a sound system you want to share, please get in touch. If you haven't already, please read the Shift Code of Conduct (https://www.shift2bikes.org/pages/shift-code-of-conduct/). Let's have a good bike summer :)

Ride is a loop
Link to the route on Strava: https://www.strava.com/clubs/1008997/group_events/1645137 This is a challenging 60-mile gravel ride. Please read the information below carefully! Gifford Pinchot National Forest boasts many, many treasures. From beautiful half-hidden waterfalls to sudden vistas of snowy peaks in the distance that easily take your breath away. And in between, there are tunnels and caves created by lava coming from Mount St Helens that have ice in them year round. This might be the area I look most forward to every year to ride in. The area is astonishingly beautiful, the forest roads are quiet, and the gravel is delectable. It's a big ride for sure, and demanding. But the sights are worth every quiet moment of doubt when going up the road to see them. Tires of 40c with a good amount of knobby thread at minimum, but wider ones are highly recommended. I will bring a water filter, and recommend brining one yourself as well. With the water filter, we will have opportunities to refill our bottles on this ride. There will be no food-stops however, so be sure you bring enough calories. We will meet up at the Wind River Market Texaco in Carson (leave on time with about fifteen extra minutes; the drive is often just a little longer than Google Maps thinks it is). We leave from the meet-up point at 9AM sharp to drive to the start together (another 10-15 minutes). The goal is to roll out by 9:30AM. -- Seltzer Cycling Club is an inclusive, moderately-paced cycling club based in Portland, Oregon. Our rides sit squarely on the fun side of tough. Aspiring to support and empower each other into more confident and all-round riders. Some weeks that's a chill local roller to a hidden-away bakery. Others, a multi-day slog in the mountains. But most often you will find something in between, blending road and gravel. And always a 100% no-drop, social-first and group supported ride.

You will need: * $6 cash for pool entry * towel * swimsuit * sunscreen * bike lock * snacks/drinks for the day * a positive attitude The public pool entry is $6 for adults ($5 for kids). There’s always a line and paying with cash is quicker. The pool will likely be crowded and there’ll be lotsa kids and families there. We will not be stopping at any stores or restaurants or cafes along the way, so bring what you need. That said, there is a snack bar at our first stop (public pool). If you are bringing kids, they must be comfortable riding on streets with cars and able to keep a 12mph pace. Much of the route is bike path. If you are riding an e-bike, please be aware this ride is longer and harder than many Pedalpalooza rides, so your battery may not last all day. Stay behind the ride leader. There are many turns on this ride and I won't be in a position to yell if you get ahead of me. Great big thanks to BikeLoud PDX for bolstering me as a ride leader with a stipend to help me create bike fun like this.

Sun, Jul 7, 2024, 12:00 PM
Meet at 12 noon, ride at 12:20pm
End location: near N Rosa Parks Way and N Interstate Ave
Still happening, but 2 hours earlier! Meets at 12 noon! Plan for the ride and stops to add up to 3 1/2 ish hours. We'll be touring four little backyard oases in North and Northeast Portland (staying north of Fremont) with a few nifty corners and parks along the way. This is for all gardeners, wanna-be gardeners, black thumbs, green thumbs, and jealous apartment/condo dwellers. All ages and abilities are welcome as long as they can ride 10 miles. The route will mostly be on greenways and side-streets without much elevation gain or loss. Please come prepared with whatever you need to be comfortable for a few hours--snacks, water, sunscreen, hat, etc. There will be some snacks and drinks at the stops, but it will be HOT, so I recommend bringing an insulated thermos with cold/icy water. Easy access to the Trimet Max yellow line at the start (Overlook station) and finish (Rosa Parks station).

Ride is a loop
Invasive bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) were originally imported as a food source to Oregon but escaped. They are now wreaking havoc in our waterways. My goal is to teach you how to identify, capture, humanely dispose of, and eat this baddy. We will ride out from Beaverton TC to a local waterways at a somewhat fast pace. I will give a brief introduction, lesson on identification, and we will bike around to ponds and waterways where you can find these critters. The goal of this ride is to educate and spread awareness of invasive species while having fun and exploring! You can find specific regulations for this species on page 20 in the guide from ORFW: https://www.eregulations.com/assets/docs/guides/23ORFW.pdf Here's a neat bullfrog hunting video from ORFW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZHX4oa19UA All friendly persons welcome!

Meet for 6:00 and ride for 6:30ish
Ride is a loop
This ride is a safe space. Please limit alcohol and drug use for the safety and comfort of others. Please be mindful to not video or take pictures during the shares with out explicit consent from the person and letting the group know that’s been given. We set a clear container at the start of the ride. The route will be slow and easy and All Wheels friendly. The theme is Consent and Body Autonomy. Some of us will talk on things that can be upsetting to hear (we ask for shares to omit specific details to lessen triggering others). Some of us live in shame because of what someone else has done to us, there’s a lessening in the self condemnation and shame when we hear and know others have had experiences that have caused the same reactions. PTSD and CPTSD in the txt books have a common framework of response to trauma detailed. What we so often need to know is that what happened to us wasn’t our fault, that how we react and feel is a pattern of trauma and we all share these reactions and despite our specific experiences we are not alone. We are not alone. The ride itself will have several stops. At these stops, we reaffirm the container and the space we’re in and the boundaries. Then we follow a process of speaking, karaoke/poetry and then to free up the energy and the things our bodies hold onto we dance it out for a few tracks. The share flow: 1/ Take the Mic and tell your story, or write it down and someone else can read it for you. 2/ karaoke/share a poem of yours or someone else’s. 3/ Dance your heart out. Also, let your ride leader know how you feel you want to share and we can try and do that too. You’re welcome to stand in silence before the whole group for a few minutes. Silence is the pattern most of us follow who’ve had our consent ignored. Those of us who understand will understand. This is the 6th mental health ride and each ride poses it’s own challenges and needs for fluidity around what we all need. This is the specific ride that the others were preparing us to lead, I (Moorland) have been trying to avoid posting this ride because I know the personal weight it carries for me and some part of me wishes to continue to be silent and not be open, but that is our experience as well….my struggle is so many of yours struggle too. We’re together in this. Please bring yourself how you are…nobody needs to speak or even witness others….the intent and container is set such that just knowing of this ride imparts it’s intent with more magic.

*** Updated route! Splash pad stops every 1.5 miles: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47454650 *** Bus 75: Hidden Portland is a photo/essay blog created by photographer Geoffrey Hiller and writer Tom Vandel: "We began riding the #75 bus to uncover the curious places, spaces, and people hidden along the bus line that stretches 20 miles from St. Johns to Milwaukie. Hiller’s photos and Vandel’s text depict the upside, underside, unknown side of Portland — oddball specialty stores, old-school barbershops, flea markets, typewriter repairmen, amateur wrestlers, subterranean music, and more." Bus 75 is showing at PLACE (NW 18th Ave & Johnson St) from June 20th through July 19th, Monday–Friday, 10:00am–6:00pm. There is a reception on this evening, July 8th, from 5:30pm–8:30pm. Come meet at Laurelhurst Park (at a #75 bus stop, naturally) and ride together to the exhibit. We plan to arrive at about 6:45–7:00pm. If you're running late and miss this ride, or would rather take the (air conditioned) bus, just meet us at the venue!

roll at 715
Are there enough fans of this awful music genre to warrant a ride? I don't know either but I'm willing to find out. I'll have a big speaker on a trailer playing all the classics like Pat the Bunny, Blackbird Raum, and Days n Daze, as well as some local and regional groups that fit the genre No store stops but we'll stop at a few dumpsters along the way. I'm kidding, we'll have a store stop and most likely another park stop before that. Ride will end with a fire somewhere along the tracks. Bring your instruments for a jam?

What a theme this is. The music from the Gothic and Erotic films of the 1960’s. Music is atmospheric, evocative and sometimes a little cheesy too a modern ear. If you want to dress up, then old style vampires and such. Mellow Mondays is a weekly THEMED ride, all year. All Wheels, All Riders, All Welcome. Each week there’s a different theme. Ride merges welcomed. This is a community orientated space for experienced and new ride leaders to try out ideas in a supportive environment. We can help with all aspects of ride planning and we’d love to hear your ideas. See news flash for the weeks theme and ride leader This is a safe space where we practice consent and non-violence. For consent practice we ask, even if you’re with your BFF we ask, you ask permission before touching them or their property and seek, listen and empower ‘no’. We practice non-violence specifically around car interactions and corking. These are our neighbors and we see them all the time so please be courteous and friendly, try and stay at least 4 ft from their bumper if corking. We ask for moderation on drinking and substances. This isn’t a sober ride, but it’s a safe space and moderation helps keep the atmosphere relaxed. Please report any issues directly to your ride leader and or Shift. We strongly recommend, PDXUnityRides for the welcoming queer/trans inclusion and community they’ve built. As well as RideSafe:PDX. Westside Wednesdays are a wonderful crew of riders and lead by Randy whose exceptional in taking care of the ride. Abraham Fixes Bikes on N Williams is our preferred bike repair and parts shop. It’s just two people doing their best to build their dreams and take care of helping us with our passion for bikes. If you’re a banned rider you’re banned here too.

UPDATE: This event is canceled due to high temperatures. We hope to reschedule in August or September. Join Vanport Flood survivor, Ed Washington, Columbia Slough Watershed Council, and the Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District for a free educational talk and ~12 mile bike tour of Portland’s flood safety system - free dinner included! A system of flood control infrastructure – hidden in plain sight – protects our region from major disasters. On this slow paced ride, participants will explore this system which protects homes, businesses, airports, and critical community services from flooding. Following voter approval of a flood safety bond measure this past Spring, learn about the plan to upgrade this system to meet Federal safety standards and to prepare for extreme weather events associated with climate change. We will also be discussing the Vanport Flood of 1948 and the lasting impacts on communities then and today. This event is best suited for those 14 and older, minors must be accompanied by an adult.

Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bicycle, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth.

We ride listening to their music. Games; engage in stilted banter….. We sing a long to Hippopotamus vs… Band leader says your name..you say present… Make a statement to someone and have an awkward pause. Costumes? Yup….yellow dress shirts, corduroy everything, raid your grandparents clothes that are too tight from the 70’s. Cute animal Sweaters and t-shirts. Route, simple and easy, social pace.

End location: Sunee Thai and Lao Kitchen (1400 SE Stark St, 97214)
For us night owls. On hot days, the nights are wonderfully warm. There are few nights like this, with ideal bike-riding weather. I love night-time bike rides, as there are less cars, and the city is beautifully lit. We'll meet at 10pm at the Vera Catz statue at the East Bank Esplanade. The Vera Catz statue is just north of the Hawthorne Bridge, and just south of the intersection of SE Salmon St & East Bank Esplanade. We'll find the best lit spot near the Vera Catz statue to meet. We start riding at 10:30 pm. It'll be a slow, easy ride, for about an hour, with no agenda other than enjoying the city. We'll likely ride along the Esplanade, take a bridge downtown, then go to the East side again on some greenways. We'll finish at Sunee Thai and Lao Kitchen (1400 SE Stark St, 97214), which is open late, and a personal favorite after-Pedalpalooza spot. Riders are welcome to share a meal there.

We'll be stopping in at several different 7-Elevens to pick up rations along the way. And guess what? It's "Free Slurpee Day". This ride is between 7AM and 11PM (5:00PM), between 7 and 11 miles long (about 8) and will start and end at the Ladd's Addition circle. We'll go at a comfortable pace, not to spill any Slurpee. Feel free to join in or hop off at any point. Route: https://goo.gl/maps/z25crts8wNGH43Xa7 We're also planning to hang out at Ladd's circle after the ride as well. Bring some games, drinks, snacks, or whatever. We will. Should be a fun, chill way to relax after the sugar rush. Note: This ride is not sponsored by 7-Eleven or associated in any way. I just thought it would be funny.

Meet at 7pm, ride for 7.30pm promptly.
9:30 PM
***** Sorry I had to postpone this ride. Unfortunate because today in 1975 was the US release of the self-titled 'Fleetwood Mac' record, the first album with Nicks and Buckingham. Check calendar for new date, to be posted soon. ***** You've heard the Rumours, it's not a Mirage, join us as we Tango in the Night on the Fleetwood Mac ride! We will Go (y)Our Own Way almost Everywhere as we spin our wheels and get The Chain going as we fulfill our summer Dreams. Say You Will join this ride? Dress like Stevie, Christine, Lindsey, Mick, John or original founder Peter Green. This ride adheres to the Shift Code of Conduct; respect, consent and mellowness are a given on this calm, fun, welcoming and safe ride. The intent is for this ride to be a small old-school one where we all feel comfortable so please read the following carefully: * No photos/videos: This is meant as an experiential ride where we're enjoying being in the moment. Think long-term rock star who's tired of being paparazzied all the time. * No creepiness: This is a female-led fun ride where we enjoy the music of the 'Mac. The ride is female and child-friendly. * This is a sober and drug-free ride. No rock 'n' roll riders, just reformed rockers. * If you want to listen to anything else apart from the Fleetwood Mac playlist by the ride leader, this isn't the ride for you. It's frustrating for other riders to have random beats rolling past them when they want to listen to the 'Mac. * Two-wheelers only: This ride can only accommodate bicycles (trailers ok); not skates, rollerblades, skateboards or onewheels. Meet at Sellwood Park on the field near the baseball diamond. There will be a brief mid-ride store stop. We meet at 7pm, ride at 7.30pm promptly. This will be a no-drop ride, once we've set off we won't ride off into the sunset without you! Ride will almost be a loop - we'll end at Sellwood Riverfront Park.

Tomorrow is my b-day, but I'm celebrating early. We will select a random dive bar and ride to it then rinse and repeat. There's no way to know where we will end up. Hard stop at midnight. We will encounter hills, but will also try not to drop people. Come roll the dice. Bring lights and postive vibes. Silly attire appreciated, but not required.

21+ OnlyExcessive Heat Ride to Far to risk any lives, Moved over to next week
East Portland
Ventura Park, 460 SE 113th Avenue, Portland, OR 97216
BMX jumps Park is smallest park in Portland minus piccolo.
Mr.Multnomah
Sat, Jul 13, 2024, 9:30 AM
30 mins i lag for. I'll ride alone no problem.
End location: Like there's buses that go back to Portland but you're most likely going to need to sleep there overnight. So if you're not don't think you can make it back I suggest you get a ride and have a meet you there.
Join us at 9:30AM for this exhilarating ride starting at Ventura Park (460 SE 113th Avenue, Portland, OR 97216). Get ready for a physics-defying, adrenaline-pumping 40-mile journey that'll test your limits and reward you with breathtaking views! Route Breakdown: Ventura Park to Dabney: Distance: ~20 miles Elevation: -100 ft net Physics: You'll convert potential energy to kinetic, hitting speeds up to 40 mph (17.9 m/s)! Kinetic Energy: 12,800 J for an 80 kg rider+bike at top speed Dabney to Corbett: Distance: ~8 miles Elevation Gain: +1000 ft Challenge: Work against gravity, building massive potential energy Corbett to Vista House: Distance: ~7 miles Terrain: Rolling hills Physics: Constant energy conversion between potential and kinetic Vista House to Multnomah Falls: Distance: ~5 miles Mostly downhill, speeds of 20-30 mph Air resistance becomes your main nemesis here! Medical and Physiological Considerations: Temperatures could hit the 90s (32°C+) Your core body temp might rise to 39-40°C Sweat rates can exceed 2 L/hour Cardiovascular system will be working overtime Hydration and Nutrition: Aim for 1-1.5 L of fluid per hour Target 60-90g of carbs per hour Replenish 500-2000 mg of sodium per hour Pack energy gels, sports drinks, and easily digestible snacks Safety First: Helmets are mandatory - protect that brilliant brain! Bright clothing and bike lights - be seen, be safe! Watch for signs of heat exhaustion: nausea, dizziness, rapid heartbeat Know your limits and the locations of bail-out points Environmental Impact: You'll be saving about 35 lbs of CO2 compared to driving. Mother Nature thanks you! Rebel Rouser's Rally Cry: Listen up, you magnificent speed demons! This ain't your average bike ride - it's a test of will, skill, and thrill. We're about to defy gravity, challenge thermodynamics, and make Sir Isaac Newton proud. Remember, when you're flying down Stark Street at 40 mph, you're not just a cyclist - you're a human rocket with 12,800 joules of kinetic energy! When you're climbing to Corbett, you're not just pedaling - you're sculpting your quads into works of art! We ride as one, we sweat as one, and we conquer this route as one. When the heat tries to break you, remember: you're not just fighting the hills, you're fighting the second law of thermodynamics - and winning! So fill those bottles, load up on carbs, and get ready to leave it all on the road. Today, we're not just cyclists - we're physics-defying, heat-battling, road-conquering legends in the making! See you at the starting line, and may the force (both mechanical and motivational) be with you! Note: All speeds and times are estimates. Always prioritize safety over speed, listen to your body, and enjoy the ride! Solar Analysis Given the ride's duration from 9:30 AM to approximately 2:00 PM, here's an analysis of sun exposure: Start (9:30 AM): Sun azimuth ~100°, elevation ~30°. Expect some direct morning sun. Ventura Park to Dabney: Mostly shaded due to urban environment and tree cover. Dabney to Corbett (11:00 AM - 12:15 PM): Sun azimuth 135-150°, elevation 60-70°. Increased exposure during climb, especially on south-facing slopes. Corbett to Vista House: Rolling terrain provides alternating sun and shade. Vista House to Multnomah Falls (1:30 PM - 2:00 PM): Sun azimuth ~200°, elevation ~65°. Mostly shaded due to Columbia Gorge topography and forest cover. Overall, the route benefits from significant shade, particularly in the Columbia Gorge. However, riders should be prepared for intense sun exposure during the Dabney to Corbett climb.

End location: You may choose to end your ride at the Arleta Triangle street fair. Chris will lead the group back to BCMS after 20 minutes at the street fair.
This is the second of three rides sponsored by The Deaf Look Club, a subsidiary of Bridge City Montessori School, which is committed to bringing socially accessible events to the Deaf and disabled community. Responding to a need for communication-accessible bicycle rides, Deaf Look Club is proud to present three family-themed rides for Pedalpalooza! All rides will feature communication in spoken English and American Sign Language. The bicycling Deaf/disability community, their families, and their allies are all welcome! BCMS is a primary age Montessori school with a unique mission. It is the only program of its kind to use a multi-lingual oral/sign approach to teaching young students. Deaf kids and their hearing counterparts learn together as equals. We will meet at BCMS at 12pm. There will be a short introduction to BCMS programs and exciting plans to expand our services. Rides are about 2 hours long and will be a short and easy-going 8 miles. Our goal is to introduce the local Deaf community and their allies to safe and fun bicycling in the Foster Powell area.

Welcome to Reality Check Summer Camp, where the motto is simple: "Think inside the box." This camp is designed for all you quirky kids who need a little help fitting in and learning to be less, well, different. Here, we'll teach you the fine art of blending in, following the rules, and embracing the ordinary.... ???????????????????????????????? ### PORTAL DOOR APPEARS### ???????????????????????????????? C'mon kid - us weirdos have to stick together. Before you get stuck in a summer of dull conformity, follow us on a family friendly journey to a place where weirdness is celebrated and magic is real. That's right, I'm talking about the Boiling Isles! Grab your bikes and get ready for an adventure that will blow your minds and make your summer unforgettable. We'll start our ride by escaping Reality Check Summer Camp by jumping on our bikes and riding through the Titan-fueled portal door [Orenco Central Park]. Here, the world around you starts to warp and shimmer. Welcome to the Boiling Isles, where witches, lovable house demons [Hoot-hoot! Guess who found a special friend in the forest! It was me. Hoot!], and titans once roamed. Our ride will take you through the bustling, vibrant streets of Bonesborough, filled with its lively markets and eclectic inhabitants [Hillsboro Farmers' Markets - Orenco Station]. We'll make our way to the Titan's Knee [Oro the Friendly Forest Giant at Hidden Creek Park West], through eerie and enchanting landscapes, brimming with the sights and sounds of magic, and pedal around Eclipse Lake [Splash Pad at Hidden Creek Park East] before heading back to the portal door. Along the way, you'll encounter magical glyphs [SIDEWALK CHALK!], potent potions [WATER BOTTLE FILL UPS!], and maybe even a wild demon or two [OTHER KIDS AT THE PARK!]. But don't worry – with friendship and bravery on your side, you'll handle any challenge that comes your way. So, gather your fellow misfits, embrace your weirdness, and get ready for an epic ride through the Boiling Isles. Whether you're a budding witch or a curious human, this adventure promises thrills. Stay clear of the coven guards or titan trappers, and we'll find some slaygrounds along the way. Feel free to hit up the Bonesborough night market ahead of the ride to pick up some fried orb and apple blood. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47279494 Copying from the Kidical mass folks because the spirit is shared: "It is suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike without training wheels. We will stop for a while to play, hang out at parks, and then head back...we will ride at a slow pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to balance and pedal in a straight line, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal. Adult corkers are welcome to join as a traffic safety superheroes. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too!"

Established in 2017, we ride once a month to enjoy what this city has to offer. Each month is led by a different CORVIDAE member, and therefore will be unique. We occasionally have themes or additional donations to different organizations. Additionally, host pop-up rides during the summer. We try to focus our rides on greenways, group etiquette, safety measures and general comradery. In addition to bike safety and accessibility, we want to promote using bicycles as an alternative to fossil fueled travel within Portland. This is a no-drop ride, but please bring your repair kit with a spare tube so we can keep the ride rolling. Please bring your own provisions; we’ll be stopping near stores, but not at them. Each member has an eye out for the crowd, will cork, sweep and be a general pillar of support. Ride pace is casual at around 10 miles with a few park stops. We aim to impress that this is a safe environment for all; no aggressive, sexist, racist, or any other kind of BS will be tolerated. Please review our Corvidae Code of Conduct. Meet 2nd Sunday of every month Hang at 1 PM Wheels down at 2 PM sharp Bring your respect for each and the city. Leave no trace 🤘🏽

Super Smash Bros, originally created by Nintendo's Masahiro Sakurai in 1999, has been an amazing video game franchise for decades, offering a unique platforming battle royal experience between all your favorite Nintendo characters. Taking place in fantasy worlds and using weapons throughout the Nintendo universe, the goal was to eliminate opponents by building up damage percentages and eventually sending them flying off the side of the screen. It's provided countless hours of entertainment in my life from childhood sleep-overs, to college parties, to work events. And now, I want to bring it to Pedalpalooza. Come ride bikes with me through some cool Portland neighborhoods dressed as your favorite Nintendo character, bring a PROP weapon to tie the look together. You'll need it by the end. The ride will stop by 5 different locations that, with the right imagination, could serve as Super Smash Bros levels. Each stop, after the first, will include a new round of bracket-style, non-physical elimination determined. Dress up. Ride bikes. Have fun. No store-stops, so come prepared with any provisions, rations, vittles, or whatever you need to get your game on. If you have a sound system you want to share, please get in touch. If you haven't already, please read the Shift Code of Conduct (https://www.shift2bikes.org/pages/shift-code-of-conduct/). Let's have a good bike summer :)

Adult corkers are welcome to join as a traffic safety superheroes. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too! Route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46940964

***UPDATED TIME! ** MEET 7pm ** RIDE 7:30pm*** If you love biking and coming-of-age comedies, you're gonna love this movie! "A working-class Indiana teen obsessed with the Italian cycling team vies for the affections of a college girl while searching for life goals with his friends."

We'll start with a couple laps around the track at Franklin HS (a tie-in to the movie's plot), then take Clinton down to the Eastbank Esplanade for a moment before turning back down to head east to the New Seasons on Hawthorne for snacks.

End location: It's a mystery!
Time to get off the beaten path on a weeknight adventure! We'll explore areas east of I-205, in search of the unpaved and the unknown. Expect some streets, paths, cut-throughs, and "is this really a public right of way" moments. Any bike should be able to do this ride, though wider tires (north of 32mm) would not hurt. This is no fast ride, instead a ramble at moderate speeds where we'll have the opportunity to stop and enjoy things. (No drop!) So if you've been interested in an adventurous ride like this, but get intimidated by the fast pace that many of these rides take, try this one out. There will also be a store stop and an endpoint to watch the sunset. Ride not a loop.

Mon, Jul 15, 2024, 7:00 PM
Ride for 7:45
Ride is a loop
All Riders, All Wheels, All Welcome. The who and what ride? Theme: There’s a style of music I (Moorland) love and it’s the early synthesizer music that was so predominant in movies of the late 70’s and early 80’s. I first discovered this watching John Carpenter movies and George A Romero (and other Zombie) movies I could rent them for a pound from the video store because they were old and I wanted to watch movies while babysitting and a pound a pop meant I could get 3 movies instead of one newer movie… and I’ve been obsessed since. This ride will have a cinematic score from John Carpenter movies, with dialogue interspersed throughout, such as more famous snippets like, ‘Snake Plisskin! I heard you were dead!’ And ‘I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass and I’m all outta bubblegum’…(The ‘Obey’ brand is based on that movie) …..As well as some other anti authoritarian and strange dialogue bits. The route: It will take us into industrial spaces and locations reminiscent of ‘Escape from New York’….’Assault on precinct 13’ and others, that add to the cinematic drama and soundscape of this ride. We will have a large store stop for safe access to bathrooms. Safety: This is a NakedHearts:PDX ride where we practice consent and non-violence. These rides are intended as safe spaces verging on brave spaces. The comfort and safety of one is the comfort and safety of us all. We foster a community of mutual acceptance and regard. If you’re banned you’re banned here too. Belonging: This is your community, you belong here, you belong to yourself, it’s your ride come as you are

Ride bikes to bars named “inn,” or which are in inns, by way of in-between spaces. Not a loop, approximately 15 miles. Stops at: * McMenamins Kennedy School * Bella's Restaurant (at Shilo Inn) * Tik Tok (at Best Value Inn) https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46406208 Most inn stops have outdoor seating options (except inn #2); when inside, masks are welcome. The ride is free, but bring money for drinks and food. End time is approximate, but we'll probably get to the last stop around 9:30pm–10:00pm. If you need transit service home after the ride, the end spot is right on the #9 and #72 buses and a short ride from the FX2 bus, #17 bus, and MAX Green Line (all frequent service). There are also a few good transit-adjacent spots mid-route if you need to drop early; ask for details. Please note! This ride's length and route are an extra notch up from other Inn Between Rides. It skirts on or near some busier roads like 122nd Ave, Columbia Blvd, Lombard St, and 82nd Ave. We stick to side paths, cross streets, and parallel routes as much as possible rather than those actual roads, but there will be some short stretches of slightly spicier riding than on other editions of this ride. Check the route map and reach out if you have questions! Inn Between Rides are 3rd Tuesdays for Bike Summer — see also ride #1 (SE/Central City) and #3 (Gresham/East Portland). https://bit.ly/inn-between-ride-2024

Ride is a loop
Tandem riding on gravel?? What a ridiculous idea, so let's do it! Our city was built on a forest, and that forest still exists along the gravel roads. This ten-mile loop in SE Portland covers some of Gravelland's favorite SE gravel sections, including the shoulder of Mt Tabor park. First-time gravel riders, if you're game, this is not a race, it's all about the fun of gravel in the city; we don't have the resources for sweeping the course but this is a no-drop ride. There will be frequent gathering spots along the way. And while most of the gravel is fairly smooth and level, every section has a paved road that parallels it, and there's not a thing wrong with opting out of some of the steeper, more rutted sections. You'll want gravel or knobby tires for this event; smooth road tires will not work. There is one potentially difficult crossing of SE 52nd (there is a traffic light a few blocks away if we need it), and a couple other crossings of moderate difficulty. There will be no crossing marshals (corkers), we'll have to be careful and help each other. So we can get an idea of attendance, please go here - https://www.gravellandpdx.com/supportoursite - click Contact at the bottom of the page and let us know if you plan to participate. Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47145736 FYI, you can get access to all of Gravelland's routes for your device - just request access through RideWithGPS.

Attention all girls, gays, and theys! Are you ready for a sweet summer bike ride featuring music from Chappell Roan, Remi Wolf, Girl in Red, Sabrina Carpenter, Kim Petras, and more? Look no further! All wheels welcome as Amythest leads for the first time in this extravagant celebration of fun summer music. Roller skaters- there a few moderate hills and one of the greenways we're taking is a little bumpy but you can take the sidewalk for that portion. Use your own discretion regarding your comfort level! Costumes heavily encouraged, with a costume contest and dance stops. If you want to listen to anything else apart from the playlist by the ride leader, this isn't the ride for you. It's frustrating for other riders to have random beats rolling past them when they want to listen to the sweet sounds of Chappell. This ride will not have a store stop so bring your beverages and snacks with you when you arrive! Ride is a loop and rolls at a casual pace. We are always no-drop and will attempt to help riders with mechanical issues. This ride aims to be a safer space. We take the code of conduct seriously and do not allow harassment, violence, racism, bigotry, threats, or other actions that go against the code of conduct.

As always we will meet up at the Beaverton Transit Center and end at Wallace Park in Northwest Portland. This ride is not a loop! We will ride primarily through parks and neighborhoods up to the Thompson/Skyline intersection. The final climb up Thompson will be very steep (15%+) but we will wait and regroup! We will descend Thompson to Cornell, and then down Cornell through the tunnels into NW Portland!" We are a faster paced group ride with a no drop mentality.

30 mins i lag for. I'll ride alone no problem.
End location: Like there's buses that go back to Portland but you're most likely going to need to sleep there overnight. So if you're not don't think you can make it back I suggest you get a ride and have a meet you there.
Join us at 9:30AM for this exhilarating ride starting at Ventura Park (460 SE 113th Avenue, Portland, OR 97216). Get ready for a physics-defying, adrenaline-pumping 40-mile journey that'll test your limits and reward you with breathtaking views! Route Breakdown: Ventura Park to Dabney: Distance: ~20 miles Elevation: -100 ft net Physics: You'll convert potential energy to kinetic, hitting speeds up to 40 mph (17.9 m/s)! Kinetic Energy: 12,800 J for an 80 kg rider+bike at top speed Dabney to Corbett: Distance: ~8 miles Elevation Gain: +1000 ft Challenge: Work against gravity, building massive potential energy Corbett to Vista House: Distance: ~7 miles Terrain: Rolling hills Physics: Constant energy conversion between potential and kinetic Vista House to Multnomah Falls: Distance: ~5 miles Mostly downhill, speeds of 20-30 mph Air resistance becomes your main nemesis here! Medical and Physiological Considerations: Temperatures could hit the 90s (32°C+) Your core body temp might rise to 39-40°C Sweat rates can exceed 2 L/hour Cardiovascular system will be working overtime Hydration and Nutrition: Aim for 1-1.5 L of fluid per hour Target 60-90g of carbs per hour Replenish 500-2000 mg of sodium per hour Pack energy gels, sports drinks, and easily digestible snacks Safety First: Helmets are mandatory - protect that brilliant brain! Bright clothing and bike lights - be seen, be safe! Watch for signs of heat exhaustion: nausea, dizziness, rapid heartbeat Know your limits and the locations of bail-out points Environmental Impact: You'll be saving about 35 lbs of CO2 compared to driving. Mother Nature thanks you! Rebel Rouser's Rally Cry: Listen up, you magnificent speed demons! This ain't your average bike ride - it's a test of will, skill, and thrill. We're about to defy gravity, challenge thermodynamics, and make Sir Isaac Newton proud. Remember, when you're flying down Stark Street at 40 mph, you're not just a cyclist - you're a human rocket with 12,800 joules of kinetic energy! When you're climbing to Corbett, you're not just pedaling - you're sculpting your quads into works of art! We ride as one, we sweat as one, and we conquer this route as one. When the heat tries to break you, remember: you're not just fighting the hills, you're fighting the second law of thermodynamics - and winning! So fill those bottles, load up on carbs, and get ready to leave it all on the road. Today, we're not just cyclists - we're physics-defying, heat-battling, road-conquering legends in the making! See you at the starting line, and may the force (both mechanical and motivational) be with you! Note: All speeds and times are estimates. Always prioritize safety over speed, listen to your body, and enjoy the ride! Solar Analysis Given the ride's duration from 9:30 AM to approximately 2:00 PM, here's an analysis of sun exposure: Start (9:30 AM): Sun azimuth ~100°, elevation ~30°. Expect some direct morning sun. Ventura Park to Dabney: Mostly shaded due to urban environment and tree cover. Dabney to Corbett (11:00 AM - 12:15 PM): Sun azimuth 135-150°, elevation 60-70°. Increased exposure during climb, especially on south-facing slopes. Corbett to Vista House: Rolling terrain provides alternating sun and shade. Vista House to Multnomah Falls (1:30 PM - 2:00 PM): Sun azimuth ~200°, elevation ~65°. Mostly shaded due to Columbia Gorge topography and forest cover. Overall, the route benefits from significant shade, particularly in the Columbia Gorge. However, riders should be prepared for intense sun exposure during the Dabney to Corbett climb.

Ride is a loop
End location: Alberta Park
The area around the Columbia Slough is an eclectic mix of natural areas, industrial properties, and underdeveloped/abandoned lots, all interconnected with wide truck friendly roads and several trails tucked away. Some of those trails are sanctioned and manicured, others are a bit more DIY and, well, neither sanctioned nor manicured. Let's ride out and explore them all! We'll meet at Alberta Park at 9:30 and ride at 10. The route is still evolving but looks like it will settle in around 35-40 miles with about 1,000 feet of elevation. There are no major climbs but we'll be climbing in and out of the flood plain a few times so it starts to add up. There are a few water stops along the route but the forecast is for temps in the 90s so consider carrying some extra water. The lunch stop will be the food trucks at Level Beer on 148th (at mile 20). We expect to be back to Alberta Park by mid-afternoon so you should have plenty of time to prepare for your evening rides. This will be a faster paced but not a hammer fest. There will be periodic regroups, particularly after tricky off-road sections where the group might get spread out a bit and we'll also wait on flats or other mechanicals. We will need to keep the pace to get back at an appropriate time so expect a pace on flat straight sections to be around 14-17 mph as an estimate.

We'll visit older homes that've been updated to be 100% certified renewable electric, an all-electric ADU, and new construction net zero all-electric houses. You'll have fun, meet nice people, and learn a bit about home electrification (fun fact #1, it's the biggest way you can personally take action on climate change!). Get inspired to power your home with clean renewable energy. We'll have fun tunes, and the ride will be slow and casual. Electric costumes encouraged!!

Ride is a loop
Join some rad ladies (trans ladies, this means you too!) for a ride out to Milo McIver to camp in the hiker/biker (pay on site). It's around 35 miles from Portland. This is a self-supported bike trip. You'll need to tote your camp gear, clothes, food and drink. If you are not able to bike both ways with your gear and were thinking of arranging for a car to pick you up or deliver gear, this trip is not a good fit for you. We'll aim to stay together, but if you are much slower or faster than the group, please be prepared to follow the route (which will be provided after you sign up). I predict we'll be generally riding around 12mph, not scorchingly fast, but much faster than many rides on the Pedalpalooza calendar. We'll be riding on paved bike paths and country roads. If you are ready to sign up or if you have questions, please email. No further information will be posted here, you must be signed up to join. It's free except for the cost of the hiker/biker (not sure how much, less than $20). No dudes, no e-bikes*, no offense. *Due to the speed and battery requirements of e-bikes, they are not a good fit for this ride. Most of my other rides welcome e-bikes, check the link below for listings.

Will it be jackfruit, durian, fresh lychees or mangosteen? Depends on what looks good at the tropical fruit market today! We’ll pool our funds ($2 to $3 per person) and ride to the fruit market to get some fruit to share, then ride to a shady park to enjoy tropical flavors. Next we'll ride to a spot for Vietnamese iced dessert drinks. Fruit costumes encouraged but not required! You may leave the ride early at any time, but we will be riding back to the starting point. Approximately 7 flat miles for the full loop or 4.5 miles from start to iced dessert drink store. Ride crosses major roads including SE Woodstock, Foster, Holgate and Powell, using lights and short stretches of sidewalk where possible. We will regroup after intersections if we are split up as corking is not to be expected. Cross only when safe, we'll wait! While no one will be left behind, kids should be supervised and able to keep up with leisurely paced adults. Bring water, sun protection and $2 to 3 cash (exact change) for the fruit fund, cost depends on size of group. (Disclaimer: participate at your own risk, not recommended if you are prone to food allergies trying new fruits. Event organizers are volunteers and assume no liability for adverse events.)

Did you know that on the night of the full moon, sunset is usually right before the moon rise? Let's hit up a spot where we can watch both! Stock up on snacks and libations before meeting up, then depart on a chill, slow-ish paced 5-mile (give or take) ride to our mystery destination. Ride not a loop. Lights, layers, and a picnic blanket are good ideas. Extra credit if you bring a telescope or good binoculars to observe the moon. Please note: THERE IS NO STORE STOP. There are markets near the ride start, so go there beforehand. There should be open bathroom(s) at the end. Also: RIDE NOT A LOOP, we end where we stop. If you need help getting back to the start, let me know. Rest assured, we will still be in "civilization" where we end, with Tri-Met service nearby. And most importantly: THIS IS A GOOD CONDITIONS RIDE. Clouds, rain, smoke, and excessive heat may cancel the ride. Check the Shift calendar on the day of ride for confirmation.

For consent practice we ask, even if you’re with your BFF we ask, you ask permission before touching them or their property and seek, listen and empower ‘no’. We practice non-violence specifically around car interactions and corking. These are our neighbors and we see them all the time so please be courteous and friendly, try and stay at least 4 ft from their bumper if corking. We ask for moderation on drinking and substances. This isn’t a sober ride, but it’s a safe space and moderation helps keep the atmosphere relaxed. Please report any issues directly to your ride leader and or Shift. We strongly recommend, RideSafe:PD for the welcoming queer/trans inclusion and community they’ve built. Westside Wednesdays are a wonderful crew of riders and lead by Randy who’s exceptional in taking care of the ride. Abraham Fixes Bikes on N Williams is our preferred bike repair and parts shop. It’s just two people doing their best to build their dreams and take care of helping us with our passion for bikes. If you’re a banned rider you’re banned here too.

Join us on the Pedalpalooza ride guaranteed to have the best playlist! Heather Whinna, Touch and Go Records, Bob Weston, and Todd Trainer have requested that Steve Albini's birthday on July 22nd be turned into a worldwide celebration to honor his life and legacy. To that end, Anti-M and Andy Z are hosting a ride to honor renowned musician, esteemed producer, infamous curmudgeon, and all-around-great-human Steve Albini. We'll be playing not only tunes that he performed, but music from the wildly diverse selection of bands that he engineered and recorded over his career helping amazing bands sound their absolute raw and unadulterated best. This ride will be slow-paced, mellow, and female-led. Be excellent to each other. The ride audience is really adults, but I will not kick kids out. Steve Albini famously abstained from alcohol and other intoxicants, so we plan to let that set the tone for the ride. Ride is a loop! Ride will be assembling at Creston (Action) Park at 630pm.

We'll aim to stay together but there are many turns and I'm not the fastest in our group, so please be patient and don't get too far ahead. If you're going to walk up the steep singletrack on Willow, please hang at the back so others can ride it. Downloading the route will be helpful: Route link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44925165 Be sure to turn POIs (points of interest) map layer on so you can see our regroups. We'll regroup at: * West Fork before turning north on 55th * Lamphier before turning left on Bell * Rainbow after we turn off 55th * Winsor before turning right on Willow * Top of Willow before school cut through * Laurel before turning right on Stanley * top of 52nd north of Flavel DRIVE We'll wrap up at Mercado food carts and the start of the Foster Night Ride, which rolls at about an hour after we get there, so there's time for snacks before more bike fun! Roll time is 6:15 pm SHARP

Ride is a loop
Hey Everyone! Dan here - here to lead you through a fantastic quest rife with various genres of video game music. Want to listen to all sorts of music? Don’t worry - I feel you man. I’m hoping there will be a little of something for everyone so we’re casting a wide net with our music choices. Test your might with a social pace ride spanning 8-10 miles, this is a no-drop ride (that means if you need to go slower, we won’t leave you behind!) Never been on a Pedalpalooza ride before? That’s okay! We’ll Live and Learn together to roll around at the speed of sound. If you make mistakes, we’ll just keep on trying till we run out of cake. No need for this to be your final fantasy. Be ready to practice non-violence when interacting with cars creeping in our lane. Make sure your instructions are Simple and Clean to avoid upsetting car drivers! This is not a sober ride but please practice moderation! Sadly, the cake is a lie, so make sure to provide your own consumables (potions, elixirs, flasks, healing herbs, what have you), as The Guild cannot afford this expense. Costumes not required but encouraged!!! If anyone wants to seriously Cosplay that would be seriously cool. Genres we’ll be spanning include: Video Game OSTs Video Game Remixes Video Game Related music (music about playing video games) Chiptune SNES Soundboard Genesis Soundboard N64 Soundfont Modern Console games Indie Games Boss Music As far as route, we’ll be starting at Colonel Summers Park, and it will be a loop! There will be one store stop (with clean bathrooms) which will have potions and libations for your perusal. Bring your Switch and we can have local Mario kart Races or Smash Battles at the stops!!!

This will be a 6 ish mile ride in SE PDX ending at a sloped grassy field near Mt Tabor. There will be one store stop at the Clinton St Market. This is a no-drop party-pace ride (10ish to 12ish mph). We will have treats that are hard to eat if you have a mustache! Feel free to bring your own to share. This ride is for mustache havers and mustache appreciators. Everyone is welcome! We have stick-ons for those who are mustache deficient and would like to be otherwise, but there is no requirement to actually have a mustache to ride.

SONG PLAYLIST: bit.ly/4bx4UfK ONE WEEK LEFT ! the sun is setting a bit earlier so we will start riding as close to 6pm as possible Duckworth Summer Wednesdays, a collaboration between Human Access Project, Lloyd EcoDistrict, and BikeLoudPDX, combines live mixing, lifeguarded swimming, lounging, people watching, and sunset viewing. We aim to cultivate a positive culture of inclusivity and fun and highlight the Duckworth Dock as a key amenity of Lloyd District. This is your chance to dive into the best swimming hole in central city Portland, right on the Eastbank Esplanade. Bring your floaties and fins and goggles and smiles For those who are interested in swimming we will have lifeguards on site, and of course the Willamette River has lots to offer if you just want to dip your feet in over the edge, listen to music, people watch and take in the bridges, Amtrak trains crossing the river and the sunset. Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bicycle, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth. Many thanks to our sponsors and partners to help make this happen - you rock!

Come out for a social ride and stay for a beer at a watering hole near the start point and learn about our tech stack and how you can contribute & help us connect Portland area bike funthusiasts on the web and beyond. We’ll meet at Bike Happy Hour at 5:30pm and ride at 6:00pm. (Come early and we’ll have a bit of trivia about the calendar. Impress your friends and win a prize!) We’ll head out on a social-paced ride, talk about the tech behind the site, and end at a location for food/drinks and more tech talk. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47586133 Technical stuff: This spring we overhauled the back end of the site, which is now written in Node.js (previously, PHP). The front end is a combination of static HTML/CSS templates plus some Javascript for the calendar pages. It also uses a MySQL database and some other bits for infrastructure/admin. (We'll go more into technical details at the ride and post-ride meetup.) If you have any interest or ability in contributing to any part of it, we'd love to have you! Skills like design, documentation, etc also welcome. The end location will have wifi, so bring your laptop if you want to get it running locally on your device.

**rolling at 6:15** Did you miss the architecture tour in April? Worry not, we're riding it again! Join for a 12-mile ride around NE and SE with 8-10 stops to learn about notable buildings along the way. I'll be sharing quirky history and interesting architectural notes about buildings that have struck my eye while riding neighborhood streets. Maybe you've noticed them too... or maybe you've ridden past and never noticed! This is not a "family friendly" ride per se (I don't know the first thing about leading a ride for tiny humans!) but children over the age of 12 might enjoy the content. I aim to share information at a middle-school or high-school level. We will ride at an 8-10 MPH pace and regroup at the top of hills. If you're interested in helping with sweeping and corking, please reach out to Erin Bailie. There will be an optional hangout at Migration Brewing on Glisan following the ride.

One of the best parts of bike camping and touring is making meals. Here’s a chance to do that without actually going camping! Ride your bike to Tabor on your own and meet us there where we’ll make dinner. Get dinner-making practice for all the bike camping adventures you'll have this summer. Chat with other cyclotourists about bike touring/camping/packing plans. And nerd out over camping stove setups and impress everyone with the feast you’ll craft! Please note: camping stove is required, not a grill/hibachi. (There's another ride for that!) Please try to avoid the "pour hot water into a pouch" "meals" that you bought at REI. Get creative! Note: No grocery stop, come prepared

There’s a new bike path to PDX! Let’s go try it out! It’s a great ride from the east side to the airport. If you go catch a flight this way, you’ll arrive well exercised and feeling good. You get VIP free parking. And coming home you pop out of the security tunnel, down a flight of stairs, and 3 minutes later you’re reunited with your steed, headed out on the brand-new, scenic, south-side multiuse path. Join Ted and Geoff on a 15 mile ride to and from the airport. We’ll take the “long way” one direction — on the Marine Dr Path. And the rarely-ridden scenic 82nd Ave of Roses, north end, the other way. https://maps.app.goo.gl/W7HsEzvDEJqivy3aA Update -- the wind forecast is for west winds. So we'll do the route clockwise. 33rd Dr to Marine Dr, east to the Wheels to Wings Trail, PDX Airport, 82nd Ave of Roses...

Calling all cyclists, robotboys, fembots, and dancehall queens! Call your girlfriend and tell her it’s time that we dance to the beat. This ride is all Robyn. Who’s that girl? She's an internationally beloved Swedish pop-star - killin' it since '94. She's the founder and CEO of Konichiwa Records. Listed in section 202 of the United Nations Security Act of 1979 as being too hot to wear tight sweaters on international airspace. Route Map COMING SOON: Expect an ~1.5 hr joy ride of 8.5 miles, with a dance break stop at the ~4 mile mark to dance and enjoy refreshments (bring your own - there is no store stop). * We will be taking some major streets, taking Coe Circle, and riding through a parking garage. Do you know what it takes to make this a great ride? - We will need corkers (and those who are cork curious) - Big speakers (for music) - And of course you! We will attempt to do a "simple sync" with speakers for the music on this ride, so download the collaborative playlist on Spotify below. Add your fave Robyn song if it’s not there already. Dress your Robyn fantasy, just don't include me out. Be sure to bring water (you’re not indestructible) and snacks/beverages - there will NOT be a store stop. BANNED RIDERS: If you are banned from any rides, you are also banned from this ride. This ride will be a safer space for queer and bipoc folks with a zero tolerance policy for non-consent, discrimination, or phobic behavior.

UPDATE: This my rescheduled ride from July 26, my 50th birthday. HERE'S THE ORIGINAL RIDE INFORMATION: It's my 50th time around the sun and I'm celebrating by inviting you, yes YOU, to ride a fun 50-mile route all over Portland. Let's celebrate all of the birthdays in the only proper month for a birthday: July. It's a mixture of my SE Technically Singletrack route with points north into St Johns and southwest into the hills. Expect to ride on footpaths, nonpaved streets and alleys, various rights of way, probably a volcano, and a splash of shenaniganerous tomfoolery. There may be a peacock or a donkey, possibly a great blue heron or bald eagle (or crows nipping at bald eagles mid-flight!). We'll do some snack stops, bathroom breaks, probably stop for photos. This is the third year I'm doing this ride and for this year I'm going bigger. I had the idea for the technically singletrack ride a few years ago during pandemic lockdowns. I was riding my bike along the path next to the Springwater when I joked to myself that I was technically riding singletrack. I expanded on the idea and realized I could make a bike route out of it. While everyone is welcome, keep in mind this may be challenging for some riders. This is a sober, no-drop ride that's neither a race nor a party ride. Leave your attitude problems and negativity at home. This is a fun ride celebrating life, community and taking the long way to nowhere via the worst route possible. It's a way to see parts of Portland where you may not be familiar or maybe link together a better way of going somewhere familiar. Ideally, I'd love everyone to make their own technically singletrack route here or elsewhere; no rules, just community and fun. Here is the route in Ride with GPS https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45281757 (Obviously I encourage single speed and/or fixed gears) If you have questions, email me at mcgloin at mac dot com.

10:10 AM roll time
Ride is a loop
This is a chill pace road ride, friendly to beginners and experienced lady* riders alike (*trans-ladies this means you too!). Lady-powered bikes only - no dudes, no e-bikes, no offense**. We meet at 10am, roll at 10:10am. We meet at the northern trailhead of the trolley trail, which is located at SE 17th Avenue & SE St Andrews Drive, across from The Bins and very close to the Springwater Trail and about a half mile from the Orange Line MAX Johnson Creek/Tacoma stop. It can be a confusing spot to find, so studying the map in advance may help you. If it's raining, check out the bus shelter across the street! For July, we'll plan to ride our classic loop with some explorations, small off road sections, a couple parks and a couple opportunities to swim. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47690277 We'll always aim to stay together for maximum fun. Our pace is chill and social. Please stay behind me so I may set the pace - this is not a race ahead and wait sort of ride as we are aiming to support slower riders by staying together. We will be taking our time and enjoying the day, and it's hard to know when we'll wrap up and get back to the start, but I would guesstimate 2 or 3pm. We'll stop at a couple parks with bathrooms and water spigots for rest stops. There will also be two stops with an opportunity to go for a quick swim to cool off. We will not be going to any stores or cafes, so be sure to bring snacks for yourself. Please bring a spare tube (even if you are riding tubeless or don't know how to fix a flat). Which reminds me, there will be a flat repair clinic soon, stay tuned. Please email me any questions. This ride is for lady-powered bikes only - no dudes, no e-bikes, no offense. **Due to the speed and battery requirements of e-bikes, they are not a good fit for this ride. All of my other rides welcome e-bikes - full listing here: https://bicyclekitty.blogspot.com/

4:00 PM
End location: Peninsula Park
Do you have a favorite Bikeway Character? Come dressed up as your chosen piece of thermoplastic street art and let's get together & bike about it! We've come a long way from the days of rogue city workers altering the ubiquitous bike lane symbol into something cheeky. Until recently, there was a whole team dedicated to bringing school kid's winning designs to life on our streets! Full colour unicorns, lipsticked slugs, Gloria Steinem quotes... We'll meander around town appreciating some old & new road art, try to snap photos with our inspirations, and reminisce about Sharrow Characters long paved over. Perhaps most importantly, by showing our love for these silly art instillations we can try to convince PBOT to BRING BACK the Bike to Books Coloring Contest that quietly ended in 2022. This year we're exploring a bit of Southeast, moving Northeast and into North Portland. We've created a 9ish mile route with some climbs and some descents as we try to collect as many sharrows characters as we can between the Ladd Circle & Peninsula Park. Stick with us for a photobooth, spoke card making station, and costume prizes at the end! Need costume inspiration? tinyurl.com/bikelaneart will take you to a map of sharrows characters I've logged from across Portland, feel free to email me any other I've missed - let's crowdsource this collection! Also @bicycleroutefound is a GREAT follow on instagram with *mostly* local-to-Portland art on the streets.

We will end this ride with a sit down moment at Mis Tacones on Killingsworth .where trans and people of color eat free This event requires personal funds if you want to eat

We'll ride along with the Prince Purple Rain Ride (a separate event from this one, we're just tagging along). At the end of that ride, we'll split off, set up a projector and watch the movie. We'll keep it close to that ride's final dance party, so you can bounce between the two if you want. Purple Rain is not a kid-friendly movie! Misogyny, domestic violence, suicide ... all manner of heavy issues. You might want to bring a chair, pad, or blanket to sit on.

In 2023, we had a low-key "Climate Resilience" ride near the end of the summer to discuss how we might exist in a future with the constant threat of calamities exacerbated by climate change. Scheduled for the end of the summer, we promised to ride - heat, rain, or wildfire smoke be damned - and it was... an absolutely gorgeous summer day, LOL. This year, let's spend a bit more time in our saddles talking about adapting to a future where we can thrive, no matter what climate change throws at us, by being more prepared and building community. We'll make a few stops to discuss emergency essentials to keep in your home, Portland's unique community emergency response program (aka NET), and how getting to know your neighbors might be the most important thing you can do to build your own resilience. This ride will be led by actual Portland NET members and we encourage other NETs and anyone interested in that program to join us! Finally, while we do not have the route 100% settled, there is a very good chance we'll end the ride with ice cream. Hope to see you there! https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47261791

Ride is a loop
End location: Grassy/field area
This ride is an experiment in collective movement ! Do you have fond memories of the parachute from elementary school? Do you enjoy free form movement expressions that make you laugh? How about just any excuse to get a little bit weird? We need more love! Come open to going beyond tolerance and into kindness, belonging and love. For this ride, we visit a grassy park to explore the COCOON, a sheer, stretchy fabric enclosure. Together inside the Cocoon we merge into the collective membrane, surrendering to the playful, freeing form of expression. The true magic of the Cocoon is the energy stirred up by all the participants inside, to emerge transformed. While there is no particular skill required to perform the Cocoon, it magnetizes the curious and becomes a spontaneous inclusive community. Inside the Cocoon, healing is possible. We hope to engage the Cocoon as an incubator for collective re-imagination and future-building conversations. We are a small group of queer NBs and others intent on creating a playful, inclusive community. While kids love the Cocoon, this is an adult activity because adults need to remember how to play. Haters will be canceled. Contact us if you have any questions or to RSVP! Rides will be the last Sunday of the month with a different loop each time! This is a no-drop ride, Expect a leisurely-paced conversational ride over a total of approx 7-9 miles with a store stop and 2 park visits for cocooning and more cocoon time at the end at the park where we start and finish! Restrooms will be nearby at all park stops. Please note that the Cocoon experience is a HIGH-RISK covid activity. Please do not get inside the cocoon unless you are COVID symptom-free and/or recently tested negative. You may be asked to not participate at the discretion of the organizers of the ride if you are showing COVID symptoms. Please be vaccinated! The Cocoon project was founded in 2010 as an interactive performance art collaborative based in NYC. The collaborative included sound artists, video media artists, musicians, dancers and other movement-based performers and the audience. Join us as we discover what Cocoon PDX wants to be!

For consent practice we ask, even if you’re with your BFF we ask, you ask permission before touching them or their property and seek, listen and empower ‘no’. We practice non-violence specifically around car interactions and corking. These are our neighbors and we see them all the time so please be courteous and friendly, try and stay at least 4 ft from their bumper if corking. We ask for moderation on drinking and substances. This isn’t a sober ride, but it’s a safe space and moderation helps keep the atmosphere relaxed. Please report any issues directly to your ride leader and or Shift. We strongly recommend, PDXUnityRides for the welcoming queer/trans inclusion and community they’ve built. As well as RideSafe:PDX.

We will leave soon after 6p so if you're running late, meet us at Oregon Park.
End location: Oregon Park, NE Oregon St & Northeast 30th Avenue, Portland, OR 97232
Come celebrate National Cheesecake Day/Golden Girls Day with a bike ride! Picture It: Portland 2024— A beautiful young group of Pedalpalooza riders leaves from The Florida Room to embark on a journey to the new, post-pandemic world. They laugh, they bike, they eat. They love, they hate, they eat. They dream, they hope, they eat. Every time you turn around, they eat. Bike and eat with us to celebrate this glorious day with GG-related festivities! There will be a costume contest! Dress like your favorite Girl, or their messiest grandchild, or George Clooney as a young cop in that one episode that had a young George Clooney. — Start point is The Florida Room, 435 N Killingsworth St., Portland (which serves booze and food). Meet here @ 5p, leave for the ride not long after 6p via a nice, mostly flat, mostly downhill route. This ride is casual, slow-paced,* and no drop. Route details here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47564947 — We bike from The Florida Room to Oregon Park for (team or individual) trivia contest and (individual) costume contest, both with (token) prizes, ETA at the park is 7p. Feel free to join just for the park portion. — We will enjoy golden hour on the most Golden day of the year, together! Oregon Park is conveniently located near vegan-friendly Tropicale (order ahead for takeout @ https://www.tropicale.co/menu) and meat-friendly, gf-friendly Moonshot Tavern (https://www.moonshottavern.com/menu?menu=food#1). Place a takeout order and eat during the costume and trivia contests, which will start ~7:15p in Oregon Park. Bring: – your costume – a blanket for sitting on in the park – cash if you'd like to donate to Call to Safety (https://calltosafety.org) If you don't want to do the trivia portion but still want to stick around in the park at the end, be respectful of the participants who are interested in the trivia and find something else to amuse yourself with for the hour or so that it takes to do the trivia portion. Respect other people (this includes their pronouns) and be a good advocate for the Portland bicycling community. This means, among other things, not getting into altercations with motorists and practicing de-escalation strategies should the need arise. We keep ourselves safe. If you're banned don't attend. Stay home and work on accepting responsibility for and rectifying your crappy behavior. Playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4jdIvWa3DugztQXLtvq3IX?si=9zEGC67eQ5O9DoYCB-ufiw&pi=u-dH8AwpW9QUuU In the unlikely event that there’s a hurricane a-coming, ride will be rescheduled so check back. *Think like retirees in Miami.

Ride is a loop
Dearest, Join us as we meander through the loveliest streets observing urban beauty, inspirational murals and the love and poetry imbued within the energy of the city. Along with a love-themed music soundtrack, we'll read examples of classic love letters and lovely poetry from throughout the ages. We'll also make stops to take in scenes that will spark creativity as we pen actual love letters - to special ones, to those gone but whose memories live on in our hearts, to an individual who has changed your life and who you'd like to express gratitude to, to pets, to yourself... it's your choice who you put pen to paper for. Bring a pen (or old-school typewriter) and paper, the willingness to express your thoughts and feelings onto that paper (it's private and for you, we won't be sharing unless anyone would specifically like to), and the comfort of knowing that you while you might like to send the letter to the subject, you don't have to if you don't wish to! Lovingly, Billie Doo x Aiming for this ride to be a small old-school one with a calm and creative energy where we all feel comfortable so please read carefully: * No photos/videos: This is meant as an experiential ride where we're enjoying being in the moment. Low-tech loveliness. Pens and paper. * No creepiness: This is a female-led ride imbued with calm and creativity. The ride is female and child-friendly. * This is a sober ride, but bring as much kombucha as you like :) * If you want to listen to anything else apart from the playlist by the ride leader, this isn't the ride for you. It's frustrating for other riders to have random beats rolling past them in competition with the actual ride playlist. * Two-wheelers only: This ride can only accommodate bicycles (trailers ok); not skates, rollerblades, skateboards or onewheels. Meet at Laurelhurst Park on the main grassy area near the duck pond. There will be a brief store stop along the way. We meet at 6pm, ride at 6.30pm promptly, to finish no later than 8.30/9pm. This will be a no-drop ride, once we've set off we won't ride off into the sunset without you! Ride will be a loop.

If you bring a speaker and music, please have a fun playlist. All non-gas powered wheels welcome. Please, for the safety of other riders, no "flexing/showboating/stunt" riding amongst the group, and if you are a banned rider, you are banned from this ride. Please adhere to Shift Code of Conduct, and be mindful/respectful of all riders. Corkers encouraged and needed for this ride, please and thank you.

Alright, you physics-defying maniacs! Let's break down this entire ride from start to finish with a full physics analysis that would make Einstein proud. Buckle up, because we're about to turn Portland into one giant physics lab! The PDX Tectonic Trail Tamer: Full Physics Breakdown Mount Scott Summit Start (1,093 ft elevation) Potential energy at start: mgh = 80kg * 9.8m/s^2 * 333m ≈ 261,072 Joules Extreme Descent Trail: Log Jumps (50 ft long, 15 ft drops): Takeoff velocity: √(2gh) = √(2 * 9.8 * 4.57) ≈ 9.45 m/s Airtime: 2v/g = 2 * 9.45 / 9.8 ≈ 1.93 seconds G-force on landing: Up to 4G (39.2 m/s^2) Mega Launches (25-30 ft takeoffs): Max height: h = v^2 / (2g) ≈ 7.6m above takeoff Airtime: √(2h/g) ≈ 2.5 seconds G-force on landing: Up to 5G (49 m/s^2) Switchbacks: Centripetal acceleration: v^2/r ≈ 22.3 m/s^2 (2.27G) in tightest turns I-205 Springwater Corridor: Flat terrain power output: P = Fv ≈ 300-400 Watts Air resistance: F = 0.5ρv^2CdA ≈ 40N at 25 mph Division Street to Mount Tabor: Work done climbing: W = mgh = 80kg * 9.8m/s^2 * 194m ≈ 152,208 Joules Mount Tabor Descent: Max velocity: v = √(2gh) ≈ 20 m/s (44.7 mph) Kinetic energy at bottom: 0.5mv^2 ≈ 16,000 Joules Gateway Mountain Bike Jump Course: Average jump height: 5-10 ft (1.5-3m) Typical airtime: t = √(2h/g) ≈ 0.8-1.1 seconds per jump Cumulative airtime: ≈ 10-15 seconds over course Rocky Butte North Side Wrap: Variable terrain: Alternating between potential and kinetic energy Average power output: 200-300 Watts Rocky Butte Final Ascent: Work done climbing: W = mgh = 80kg * 9.8m/s^2 * 91.4m ≈ 71,740 Joules Average power output: 350-450 Watts Overall Ride Physics: Total distance: ≈ 20 miles (32 km) Net elevation change: 0 (start and end at similar elevations) Total energy expenditure: ≈ 2,000-3,000 kCal (8,368,000 - 12,552,000 Joules) Cumulative G-force exposure: Equivalent to a 3-minute fighter jet aerobatic routine Total airtime: ≈ 30-40 seconds (cumulative over all jumps) Fluid Dynamics: Estimated sweat rate: 1-2 L/hour Recommended fluid intake: 500-750 ml/hour of electrolyte solution Biomechanics: Peak leg force: Up to 3x body weight during jumps and sprints Spinal compression: Up to 5x body weight on hard landings MODIFIED DISCLAIMER: PDX TECTONIC TRAIL TAMER WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND SANITY By embarking on this physics-defying journey, you hereby acknowledge: You're voluntarily turning yourself into a human projectile. Your body will experience forces typically reserved for astronauts and crash test dummies. The laws of physics are more like guidelines on this ride. Your bike may achieve flight, but you are not guaranteed a safe landing. Hydration is key, unless you want to become a dehydrated human calculator. Neither Pedalpalooza, the trail systems, nor Newton himself are responsible for your gravitational misadventures. By riding, you're declaring: "I understand that I'm basically a mobile physics experiment, and I accept all the potential energy, kinetic energy, and face-plants that come with it." Ride hard, defy gravity responsibly, and may the forces be with you! The Cycle Godfather has spoken. Now go forth and make Einstein proud (or terrified)! Oh PS...Alright, you mass-producing mayhem makers! Let's crank this up to 11 and see what happens when we unleash 20 gravity-defying cyclists on this physics-bending route. Prepare for a data dump that would make a supercomputer sweat! PDX Tectonic Trail Tamer: 20-Rider Extreme Analysis Total Rider Stats: 20 riders Average weight: 80kg per rider (including gear) Total mass: 1,600kg of pure cycling chaos G-Force Exposure (Cumulative for all 20 riders): Mount Scott Mega Launches: Peak G-force: 5G per rider Total G-force exposure: 100G-seconds per jump Cumulative for all jumps: ≈ 2,000G-seconds Switchbacks and Berms: Average G-force: 2G per rider Total lateral G-force exposure: ≈ 800G-seconds Jump Landings: Peak G-force: 4G per rider Cumulative impact G-force: ≈ 1,600G-seconds Total G-Force Exposure for Group: Peak: 100G (5G x 20 riders) at any given moment Cumulative: ≈ 4,400G-seconds over entire ride Energy and Work: Potential Energy at Mount Scott Summit: Total: 20 x 261,072J = 5,221,440 Joules Work Done Climbing (total for all ascents): Mount Tabor: 20 x 152,208J = 3,044,160 Joules Rocky Butte: 20 x 71,740J = 1,434,800 Joules Total Energy Expenditure: Per rider: 2,500 kCal (average) Group total: 50,000 kCal (209,200,000 Joules) Fluid Dynamics: Total sweat output: 20-40 liters Recommended group fluid intake: 10-15 liters of electrolyte solution Airtime Analysis: Cumulative airtime per rider: ≈ 30-40 seconds Total group airtime: 600-800 seconds (10-13.3 minutes of total air time!) Mechanical Stress: Total peak force on all bikes during landings: 20 x (80kg x 10) = 16,000kg-force Cumulative brake heat dissipation: Equivalent to cooling a small car engine Environmental Impact: Trail erosion: Equivalent to 100 normal riders Noise generation: Approximately 90-100 dB at peak (similar to a rock concert) Risk Assessment: Probability of at least one rider experiencing a wipeout: 99.9% Likelihood of breaking a local speed record: 85% Chance of impressing/terrifying onlookers: 100% MODIFIED GROUP DISCLAIMER: PDX TECTONIC TRAIL TAMER 20-RIDER MADNESS WAIVER By joining this 20-person physics experiment, you collectively acknowledge: You're part of a human avalanche of poor decision-making. The combined G-forces experienced could launch a small satellite. Your group fluid loss could fill a kiddie pool. The trail may never recover from your passage. Local seismographs may register your ride as a minor earthquake. Neither Pedalpalooza, the trail systems, nor any known laws of physics can be held responsible for the chaos you're about to unleash. By riding as a group, you're declaring: "We understand that we're essentially a mobile physics disaster, and we accept all the potential energy, kinetic energy, and collective face-plants that come with it." Ride as a pack, defy gravity en masse, and may the forces be multiplied! The Cycle Godfather has spoken. Now go forth and make Newton roll in his grave!

Riding to country roads and spectacular scenery is easier than you think. The Columbia River Gorge is just a short bicycle ride away. And you can handle it if you are an everyday rider. Geared bikes are recommended. The ride is led one way east to Multnomah Falls (20mi), riders can ride home (self-guided) or take the Columbia Gorge Express bus (rider must make their own arrangements). Want to bike camp? Some of us will be staying overnight at Ainsworth State Park. The cost for camping is estimated at $10-15 per person. Registration required! Ride is limited to two dozen people overall and there are eight available camping slots.

We aim to cultivate a positive culture of inclusivity and fun and highlight the Duckworth Dock as a key amenity of Lloyd District. This is your chance to dive into the best swimming hole in central city Portland, right on the Eastbank Esplanade. Bring your floaties and fins and goggles and smiles For those who are interested in swimming we will have lifeguards on site, and of course the Willamette River has lots to offer if you just want to dip your feet in over the edge, listen to music, people watch and take in the bridges, Amtrak trains crossing the river and the sunset. Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bicycle, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth. Many thanks to our sponsors and partners to help make this happen - you rock!

Everyone leads this ride to surprise your friends and spark a little spontaneity! Bring a friend's address in Southeast (or cross streets of their dwelling). Won't they be surprised when they find a gaggle of bikers on their lawn, or later find the gifts we leave on their doorstep! Extra points if you get your friend to join the ride! Focused on Burnside to Holgate, below 50th-ish. If you don't have a friend in this area, come anyway and you will soon! We’ll get to as many of the friends' houses as we can by 8-ish. No one knows where the ride will end but hopefully near some tasty snack opportunities. You can bring flowers, cards, etc. to give away if you like. Easy-peasy pace, family friendly.

finally we will do this ride we’ve been wanting for years to do. Costumes? 1985 or 1955? Have a lab coat? Drain pipe trousers that are too short? A life saver? The clothing from the first movie is so iconic but maybe you’re a cowboy? Or a cyber punk kid? Pick your back to the future movie period…. Maybe there’s a prize that’s not a pile of dung for best costume…. There will be games…participation is mandatory. Can we hit 8.8 mph as a group and travel back in time? Can someone fall out of a tree and be pushed out of the way of a cargo bike? Will we find that sweet Tacoma? Climb the clock tower in time? Ride ends with a 50’s enchantment under the sea dance.

It's just one mile to the second fountain at Director Park and the next two are each a half mile apart on the waterfront, and then it is 1.5 miles back to the start for a total loop of 3.5 miles, so it is suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike without training wheels. Bring swimwear, sunscreen and water! We should be back around 4 pm. We will ride at a slow pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to balance and pedal in a straight line, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal. Adult corkers are welcome to join as a traffic safety superheroes. We’ll ride together as a group, no matter the weather, because kids are traffic too!

Climate Change is making Portland summer nights almost unbearable. In the past, the air would cool at night. Providing refreshing respite from the heat. And allowing homes to cool off. Now the nights are routinely hot. We'll protest the lack of response by local and global leaders with a lighthearted protest ride. We'll stop at government agencies and call for decreases in greenhouse gas emissions. Also fossil fuel companies. Come roll around Portland and enjoy comfort in the only way possible -- bicycling naked! Bring signs and body paint if you have them!

Join some fellow bad bitches for a party paced (AKA leisurely) ride that starts at the Fort Vancouver Demonstration Garden and ends at the Vancouver Farmers Market! This ride will have everything: local history, tastefully arranged garden beds, Instagram-worthy photo ops, and most importantly, al fresco brunch. The 10-mile route will be mostly flat and highlight a few Vancouver gems including the National Historic Park, Wintler Park, the riverfront multi-use path, and Esther Short Park. This ride will be no-drop and ride leaders will attempt to help others with mechanical issues if they occur. We’ll meet at the parking lot near the Demonstration Garden at 10 AM and depart on the ride at 10:10 AM. Pack water just in case and we will end the ride at the Vancouver Farmers Market where it will be a brunch choose-your-own-adventure. No dudes, no children, no offense. We want this ride to be a chill, ladies-only environment.

12:00 PM
End location: Sellwood Park
This slow-paced bike ride starts at PSU and ends at Sellwood Park where we will meet a larger group of people canvassing for Mitch Green for Portland City Council District 4. This ride begins at Phat Cart at PSU where the ride leader will review ride safety basics then briefly talk about Portland’s new city council districts and voting districts, particularly District 4 where downtown is located. The ride ends in Sellwood which is also in the southeast part of District 4. This could be a mellow ride and ideal for someone who prefers smaller groups, a route that is mostly on separated bike facilities, and fewest interaction with cars. The downtown portion of the ride involves sharing lanes with cars but eventually leads to protected paths, Tilikum Crossing, and the Springwater Trail. Please be prepared to service your own bicycle or find alternative transportation (transit or Biketown) in the event of a flat or repair issue. You are welcome to end the ride at Sellwood Park without joining the canvass event that starts at noon. There will be cold water and snacks at Sellwood Park. Volunteers for Mitch Green’s campaign will be knocking doors to meet Sellwood neighbors. This ride is led by Maria Sipin, LCI, a certified League cycling instructor and Mitch Green’s campaign manager. Maria volunteers as a bike buddy for BIKELOUD but this is not a BIKELOUD ride. For more information about the campaign visit mitch4portland.com or follow on instagram @mitch4portland.

Portland Metropolitan Area (and/or surroundings), Portland, OR
Start/end where you like!
Tacogistics Team
Tue, Aug 6, 2024, 11:00 AM
ALL DAY EVENT!
The idea is simple: Pedalpalooza riders self organize and consume as many tacos as they can over the course of one day (August 6th)! The 1st annual Reign of Taco Ride (June 6, 2023) had 36 active teams and 151 visits. Collectively, we consumed at approximately one half of all of the spots in the metropolitan area! Thanks to all the 2023 taco riders. For 2024, let us do it all over (but eat EVEN MORE tacos)! We love tacos. Portland, OR is fortunate to have hundreds of taco shops. Each shop has it's own menu of tacos on offer so there are literally thousands of tacos available in locations liberally distributed throughout all 6 quadrants of our city. every. single. Day! Roll up and celebrate glorious tacos and appreciate taco makers. Reign of Taco Ride is most excited about supporting local and family owned businesses and hopes you'll take this opportunity to try unfamiliar/new and non-franchised spots. There are so many spots and they're so far apart that no normal Pedalpalooza ride could ever hope to visit each and every one. This ride is unique in that lasts ALL DAY Tuesday August 6th but with NO specific MEET-UP location, ROUTE or END LOCATION. It’s up to you to decide where to roll and what spots to hit! Start and end where you’d like, organize teams of family or friends, or roll solo, but make sure to log the progress of your delicious adventure! Points are awarded for each spot your team frequents, with bonuses for being the 1st party there and/or for eating all the tacos on the menu. Organized chaos is the only way to eat this incredible array of fantastic food. We need whole squadrons of self-propelled taco lovers to realize this collective a'chomp'lishment! We wish you many tasty moments and maximum taco satisfaction. https://tacoapp.verynice.party/ is our custom built interactive online taco-tracker. Log in to register your self/team. Use it as a guide to find spots as well as a log for places you have visited (which will then be marked by a team-colored flag). You are able to include bike-ability and taco reviews, descriptions and photos! This application will be updated (new spots added, and 2023 reviews/flags archived or removed) prior to the 2024 event... The Reign of Taco Ride is the brain child of Joshua Force (currently on a leg of a lifetime bike tour around the world towards Bogota, Columbia). He suggested the idea to Karl Freitag who was initially flabbergasted at how it could ever be accomplished! In part this was a response to all of the local non-ethnic food events (Pizza Week etc.). We thought to loop in Adam Novotny to help us with this puzzling concept. He became our web-wizard: assembling a comprehensive list of locations and developing our, now tried-and-tested, online team-oriented interactive map app! Karl launched a Discord server for communication between taco riders and send us feedback. All the links can be found at: https://linktr.ee/reign_of_taco_ride Reign of Taco Awards ceremony and wrap-up event TBD… in 2023 Bike Portland said: "Each year there’s at least one new ride that captures our imagination. This year I’m very intrigued by the Reign of Taco Ride (6/6) created by the inimitable Joshua Force. With substantial contributions from Karl Freitag he has dreamed up a one-day plan to have bike riders fan out and order at least one taco from every single taco joint in the region. Another member of the taco crew, Adam Novotny, collected an exhaustive list of every taco joint in the city for the location of each cart and cafe. Then he created an interactive taco map with an ability for participants to log in and track their purchases. What an amazing way to celebrate cycling and tacos!"

End location: SE 7th Avenue and Washington Street
Sandy Boulevard is one of Portland's historic travel and commercial corridors, and is undergoing a rapid transformation. At one time, Sandy was the most popular automobile cruising destination in Oregon. As a high-crash corridor, Sandy is getting speed cameras and pedestrian crossing improvements. Eventually it will support a Rose Lane to optimize bus travel, and more bike and pedestrian infrastructure are planned. A series of sustainable stormwater interventions have been implemented, utilizing the triangular 'left over' spaces at intersections. Through time the over-built Sandy Boulevard is being reclaimed to improve pedestrian and bike safety, integrate transit and green infrastructure, calm automobile traffic and travel speeds, and improve livability. Are the City’s plans sufficient? Is it happening fast enough? This ride will travel down Sandy Boulevard from NE 47th and make a series of stops to see and learn about various street interventions. The ride will terminate at SE Seventh and Sandy Green Street Plaza, a new initiative led by Depave and Zucker Engineering in partnership with Portland’s Bureau of Transportation, Clean Energy Fund, Bureau of Environmental Services, Metro, Friends of the Green Loop, BikeLoud, other community-based organizations, and nearby business and property owners.

SONG PLAYLIST: bit.ly/4bx4UfK ONE WEEK LEFT ! the sun is setting a bit earlier so we will start riding as close to 6pm as possible Duckworth Summer Wednesdays, a collaboration between Human Access Project, Lloyd EcoDistrict, and BikeLoudPDX, combines live mixing, lifeguarded swimming, lounging, people watching, and sunset viewing. We aim to cultivate a positive culture of inclusivity and fun and highlight the Duckworth Dock as a key amenity of Lloyd District. This is your chance to dive into the best swimming hole in central city Portland, right on the Eastbank Esplanade. Bring your floaties and fins and goggles and smiles For those who are interested in swimming we will have lifeguards on site, and of course the Willamette River has lots to offer if you just want to dip your feet in over the edge, listen to music, people watch and take in the bridges, Amtrak trains crossing the river and the sunset. Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bicycle, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth. Many thanks to our sponsors and partners to help make this happen - you rock!

Ride is a loop
Those teeth aren’t made in Scotland from Girders…. If it’s too Jammie how can you dodge it…. Don’t get talking and hob nobbing too much….. More tea Vicar and nice weather for ducks but you chavs stay home…. Give me an egg sarnie with bits and some picalliy….. Does any of that make sense to you? Well if it does congratulations on living in America the land of the free…..to pay for Health care. It’s the British/English/UK ride. What can you expect? Biscuits…. Plus a complete disregard for talking about the differences in a common language. English people….yes even though it’s not quite mid day and the mad dogs might be sleeping, English people may be there. Also, chocolate….not the dark delicious kind that heals the heart, but Cadburys. Actual Cadburys….made in England (but not by skin heads). More references than make sense…. Probably some Boddingtons the cream of Manchester and English beer… We will ask for donations to help cover costs, only because all of this stuff adds up financially and we host too many rides for it come out of our pockets….we’d be more generous but we grew up in a matchbox in the middle of the street in a puddle. Music? Oh yes…. There will be PUNK and new wave and cheesy pop and who knows but it’ll all be English and maybe we can settle the arguments on The Beatles vs The Stones and Blur vs Oasis…..but we’ve not got time for that NME type convo so let’s just acknowledge it’s The Beatles and Blur and move on. But just to prove a point there might be an activity around this. Route: Streets….bikes….wheels….Portland…. You know the scene… Moorland leads so there’s no way there will be Car Park adventures. What else? Consent and Non-violence. Don’t touch people or their property without permission. Don’t be aggro to cars because you put the ride at risk and rides in the future. Act with kindness because it’s good for your heart. Show up as you are.

End location: Kerr Public Dock of the Eastbank Esplanade
The world is falling apart around us and I'm dying inside ... but not on this bike ride! If there's one thing we need to learn, it's that you have got to take the upper hand in all situations or people--whether they're dead or alive--will walk all over you. If there are two things we need to learn, it's that an evening celebrating comedy legend Catherine O'Hara simply must be on your calendar of events. I know you are positively bedeviled with meetings, etcetera, but join us on this casual evening neighborhood ride to scour the city streets for our lost precocious children, tend to our award-winning terriers, and practice that new 'Less is More' kind of acting, where when you're talking to someone you close your eyes, and then you look at them when you're not talking to the person. Along the way, we'll enjoy music from and inspired by Catherine O'Hara's flawless film and television appearances, promote our favorite local fruit wine vintners, and perhaps plot a kidnapping of the Sandy Claws. Costumes very strongly encouraged. Swimwear recommended. I can't really think of a Catherine O'Hara-specific reason for us to jump in the river, so we'll just say that's our tradition from the 2023 Jennifer Coolidge Appreciation Ride and leave it at that. I will not stop living and breathing art just because you need to relax. Don't forget a towel, unless you're alright with air-drying in the STREET. Store stop at a local apothecary-adjacent chain retail business included. I personally will be pleased to RSVP as ... pending. Rough riding route here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47905089

This is the third of three rides sponsored by The Deaf Look Club, a subsidiary of Bridge City Montessori School, which is committed to bringing socially accessible events to the Deaf community. Responding to a need for communication-accessible bicycle rides, Deaf Look Club is proud to present three family-themed rides for Pedalpalooza! All rides will feature communication in spoken English and American Sign Language. The bicycling Deaf community, their families, and their allies are all welcome! Our final ride is August 10th. BCMS is a primary age Montessori school with a unique mission. It is the only program of its kind to use a multi-lingual oral/sign approach to teaching young students. Deaf kids and their hearing counterparts learn together as equals. Our last offering meets at BCMS at 10am. We recommend this ride for families with kids age 6 and up. There will be a short introduction to BCMS programs and exciting plans to expand our services. We will be riding out to the Springwater multi use trail for an adventure on pavement and easy dirt trails along Johnson Creek, with stops at Foster Floodplain, Glenview Park, Lents Park, Essex Park, and back to the school. Rides are about 1.5 hours long and will be an easy-going 11 miles. Our goal is to introduce the local Deaf community and their allies to safe and fun bicycling in the SE Portland. Chris and Erin will lead a route through the district, talk about the local infrastructure and give advice for those who wish to use bikes for transportation in urban Portland. This is a FREE Portland PedalPalooza event! All rides start and end at the BCMS campus. Bring bikes, helmets, and water. A wet handkerchief around the neck is your friend in the heat. BCMS will offer technical support.

We leave no later than 7:45….weve got to get too the liquor store
Although this ride features a lot of drinking, all the frozen cocktail rides we’ve lead have been mellow with a great atmosphere. It takes all of us to keep the ride a safe place so we can let our hair down and have fun. Please be responsible in your imbibing. We repeat this insane ride. We mix fresh frozen margaritas at various spots around the city. This isn’t the longest ride. Bring ice and supplies and a cup… We went through gallons of tequila last time… The music is full of Spanish songs and songs that reference tequila. Small donations requested to cover the very high costs of this ride.No money is needed to partake, but for those who can donate we’d appreciate it. Can you carry ice? We need the help. As with all our rides, we practice consent and non-violence.

Think all the good riding is in Portland? That Beaverton is all cars and roads? Did you know that the Tualatin Hills Parks Rec District has 60 miles of hard and soft-paved trails? Have you been to the Linear Park and Pirate Park? Join us on a ride to explore this western wonderland. Around 35 miles. The early parts are flat, but there will be plenty of hills - around 2000 ft. of climbing. About half is on paved bike trails, half on roads. There will be a short section of riding on an unpaved trail. Nobody left behind - we'll go at a moderate pace and it may take us around 6 hours. Some of the stops include: Pirate Park, Jenkins Estate, Cooper Mountain Nature Park (for the view), Progress Ridge (dining stop including New Seasons), Summerlake Park, and Tualatin Hills Nature Park. You'll probably want to eat beforehand - or else bring a sandwich and eat it at our first stop, Pirate Park. Bring plenty of water and snacks. There are a number of restroom stops along the way. There's also a convenience store about halfway through the ride.

Meet at 1PM. Roll out at 2PM
Established in 2017, we ride once a month to enjoy what this city has to offer. Each month is led by a different CORVIDAE member, and therefore will be unique. We occasionally have themes or additional donations to different organizations. Additionally, host pop-up rides during the summer. We try to focus our rides on greenways, group etiquette, safety measures and general comradery. In addition to bike safety and accessibility, we want to promote using bicycles as an alternative to fossil fueled travel within Portland. This is a no-drop ride, but please bring your repair kit with a spare tube so we can keep the ride rolling. Please bring your own provisions; we’ll be stopping near stores, but not at them. Each member has an eye out for the crowd, will cork, sweep and be a general pillar of support. Ride pace is casual at around 10 miles with a few park stops. We aim to impress that this is a safe environment for all; no aggressive, sexist, racist, or any other kind of BS will be tolerated. Please review our Corvidae Code of Conduct. Meet 2nd Sunday of every month Hang at 1 PM Wheels down at 2 PM sharp Bring your respect for each and the city. Leave no trace 🤘🏽

Dungeons & Dragons & Derailleurs returns for a fourth year! Strange creatures and wild magic have been increasingly disturbing SE Portland, and only a group of brave adventurers can find the cause before Portland becomes engulfed in magical chaos! D&D&D:The Wizard's Menagerie is a Dungeons and Dragons-inspired ride that will have you and your adventuring party biking to a few different locations in SE Portland and playing a D&D-light choose-your-own-adventure game. No previous D&D experience required! We’ll have everything you need for the game, but bringing along notebooks and pencils or even a costume is definitely encouraged. Adventuring parties of 4 are ideal, but the game works for groups of other sizes. Or just show up at the starting location solo and invite strangers to join you on your quest! Note: This is a dispersed ride done in small groups. Roughly 6 miles total of biking, but it's your adventure!

You may have seen Kiro at the front of many NakedHearts rides, powering along and bopping to the music. We’re delighted that he wants to lead a ride and here it is. From Naya, his Mum. “What happens when you ask a 7 year old to lead a ride? “I want a 26 mile ride with two short stops and picnic at a place with no plastic” I don’t think little guy understands what 26 miles is, so to make it reasonable, we will do 26km ride and end with a picnic. Meet at 5pm laurelhurst park and leave on time at 5.30pm. Punctual Little Man has very little patience.” Route is going to be very relaxed, lots of bike paths and greenways. The ride is definitely family and all wheels friendly, but the distance will be 26km. We’ll publish the route ahead of time so families can decide to jump on at any point and know where they can jump off or come meet us for the picnic. The ride will need lots of extra support: 1/Corkers especially needed, and especially pre-corking to help Kiro know the path is clear/safe. We want Kiro to be empowered as much possible to make choices and having a strong corker support crew is essential. 2/ Please bring your joy and calmness so make a lovely atmosphere, but also attend if you’re feeling super down because others joy will give you buoyancy. 3/ Please be super mindful of smoking in the main group as there will be children present. Cannabis is a medicine but kids don’t see the difference between it and tobacco. 4/ Picnic at the end so prepare what you need. We will have two short store stops to grab provisions. As with all our rides, we practice consent and non-violence. All wheels, All people welcome. Please come as you are.

Back for its 14th 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

We've got a few things to celebrate and want to invite volunteers, students, and interested community members to celebrate with us! We're half way through summer and we've got a lot to be excited about: --Consistent Tuesday drop-in nights have hosted dozens of volunteers this year with hundreds of hours committed to the cause. This Drop-in night will have opportunities to work on bikes, but will also serve as a fun hang out to thank everyone for the help this year. We couldn't process and redistribute all these bikes without you! --We've brought back structured classes in the space for the first time since March 2020. We're thrilled to have all of these new folks in the space and putting the "cool" back in "Bike Shop and sChOOL". This will be a great opportunity for students who have completed the first course to see what volunteering is like, and for new and prospective students to check out our volunteering programming --Our summer intern has put in consistent shifts, being the first person to be in 4+ days in the shop/week since... 2021? We're so glad to have had the help and the opportunity to get to know Elijah so we want to have a big send off! --a few fun upcycled bike part carnival games with some fun prizes, including the 1st Annual Tire Time Trials --a screen-printing station with 3 B4H screens donated by volunteers over the hears. I found some blank shirts at the bins for printing on, but please bring anything you'd want screenprinted to make your own b4h swag --snacks and beverages--probably pizza and NA drinks, maybe beer. --our upstairs shop in action--an opportunity to put your own bike in the stand or to work on donated bikes -- at **least** one surprise

🦈 IT'S A SHARKNAITO 🦈 But what IS a SharkNaito? It's like a Sharknado, but taking place up and down Naito Parkway. Dress like a shark, dress like a tornado, dress like a human who *won't* get eaten by sharks because sharks are just cute lil guyz. There will be shark trivia, a Best Shark Impression trophy, music about sharks, and lots of puns. Be prepared to get wet and spin around your fellow sharks in a... SHARKNAITO. Loosely based on the movies Sharknado, Sharknado 2: The Second One, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, Sharknado 5: Global Swarming, and The Last Sharknado: It's About Time. All you need to know: "The series stars Ian Ziering as Fin Shepard and Tara Reid as April Wexler—a husband and wife who encounter "sharknadoes", tornadoes filled with sharks, wherever they go." YES HIS NAME IS FIN. No touching other sharks or their belongings without consent. Report any issues to the HSIC (Head Shark In Charge). Anybody who sings *that* song about a very young shark will be kicked off the ride. Shark.

Attention Betties, Baldwins, cake boys, and all you virgins who can't drive. In late-add fashion we're resurrecting the Clueless ride!* (*I'm not one of the original organizers of the past Clueless rides, just a fan who wanted to ride again!) So bring your best 90's fashion moments, skateboards, and hot step-brothers. We'll be rollin' with the homies to the incredibly nostalgic soundtrack. This will be a casual-paced 6 mile social ride will be hitting some classic bike routes, a couple major streets, and of course a brief visit to the mall - duh! This ride won't include a store stop so be sure to bring water, orange juice, special k cereal, or whatever you need to be totally hydrated. This is not a sober ride, but we ask folks to imbibe responsibly for the safety of everyone. We aim to create a supportive and safer space for 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC folks. Sketchy folks, phobic remarks, non-consent, or unsupportive behavior of any sort will not be tolerated. BANNED RIDERS: If you are banned from any rides, you are also banned from this ride. We're trying to avoid anyone having a "Twin Peaks experience." DJ bikes and speakers encouraged! Playlist linked below via Spotify soon! Download the playlist to your device for so we can jam together without using your data. Corking is Community Care: We encourage folks who like to cork to join this ride and help make it a success. We also strongly encourage people who are cork-curious to join in and try it out. It’s like that book I read in the ninth grade that said, ‘Tis a far, far better thing doing stuff for other people. And may I please remind you that it does not say ‘RSVP’ on the Statue of Liberty.

6:30 PM
When I was 11 years old, circa 1990, I ran for student body vice president of my elementary school. For the election speech, I got my friend Eric to dress up as Ash and hold up a hula-hoop wrapped in white and red crepe paper mimicking a Poké Ball. At the time my name was "Niki" and so I asked him to loudly exclaim, "I choose you "NIKIMON!" and out I bursted from behind the paper circle dressed as Pikachu. Needless to say, I won the election. And to this day, regardless of not never having trained or battled, I am indebted to the Pokémon franchise so much so I impulsively bought a Pikachu mascot costume off of craigslist and am going to lead a ride with it in tow. This is an opportunity to dress in whatever Pokémon attire you have in your possession, trade Pokémon objects, and talk about Pokémon with other Pokémon aficionados.

Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bicycle, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth.

The tour will end at Duckworth Summer Wednesdays - where you can enjoy the sunset on the river or take a swim!

We’re on a mission to transform Lloyd into one of the most sustainable neighborhoods in North America, championing equity, resilience, and climate protection. We’ve got lots more work to do, but we’re excited to share updates and progress! But what exactly is an EcoDistrict? Hop on your bike and join us for an engaging ride through Lloyd, where we’ll explore how we’re turning EcoDistrict concepts into real-world innovations. Along the way, you’ll see the nation’s first pollinator bike corridor, cutting-edge water treatment systems, sustainable buildings, resilience infrastructure, vibrant murals, important memorials, redesigned parks, community gardening projects, and more. Lloyd EcoDistrict will be joined by our partner at Go Lloyd, who is developing programs that encourage commuters and residents to engage in travel options outside of single-occupancy vehicles. Come see for yourself how Lloyd is leading the way in creating a sustainable, resilient urban community. Get ready for a tour filled with inspiration, education, and a glimpse into the future Lloyd! A couple of lucky riders will also earn themselves from fun prizes! We’ll meet at 5:30 PM in the middle of Holladay Park, and begin our ride at 5:40.

It's true! You can get to the airport by bike! Join for an exciting ride to the airport for the New Main Terminal Grand Opening! I'm selecting a route mostly on neighborhood greenways, low-traffic streets, and off-street paths for the most comfortable ride. Once at the airport we can lock up our bikes, see the glitzy new space (hello all timber roof!), and enjoy a happy hour at the new Loyal Legion Beer Hall (pre-security). When you are ready to depart, you can ride back on your own, or take the MAX with your bike back into town. A true multi-modal dream!

Let's do this! This is going to be a lot longer than we normally ride and earlier in the day to make it all work. This will be a difficult fast and fun route. As always this is an adventurous and faster paced route with a no drop mentality. We respect fellow humans as all are welcome as long as you are respectful and kind to others. You will be asked to leave. This will keep the focus on the route and the difficult and changing terrain as well as focus on building relationships with others. Route will be roughly 35ish miles and around 1,100 feet of elevation. There will be a couple steep hills to climb, one is 15% but short, as be prepared to climb a bit but as always we will wait for friends. There will be sections of single track and gravel as well as roots and other hazards, i.e., low hanging branches. This will be difficult for some so please give each other space. Let's be thoughtful of each other when we enter "the woods." Will we store stop? We normally do not store stop but we are willing to if the group needs. Bring lights, your bike, your p.m.a., snacks and water, and we always recommend to bring that helmet! Love you!

Not as morbid as it sounds!!! Pixie, a thrice-rescued chiweenie, is 15 now and d-o-n-e with bike basket lyfe. She's ready to retire from being an adventure dog and enter house cat mode (house cat mode means she'll only get on the bike to go to the vet and otherwise get around on her own four paws). But she's down to lead one last ride! Come cruise 5ish miles through town with Pix while she reminisces about biking to the coast with Oregon Field Guide, staying overnight with 200 rescued farm beasts at an animal sanctuary on a bike trip down to Eugene, and wishing she had a spiky hawk-repelling coat in the basket on the way to the Canadian border. From Barksy to Pixie Lix: We'll start at the Barksy mural behind the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne and end at St. Francis Ice Cream in Foster-Powell where their signature flavor is called PIXIE LIX!!!! Note: Pixie Lix contains only cookies & cream ice cream and rainbow sprinkles, no traces of chiweenie nor saliva; Pixie is not sure why it's called Pixie Lix. Pixie may very well be sick of you (...and sick of her chauffeur...and sick of the bike...and sick of the playlist she carefully crafted) by the time she reaches St. Francis and want to rush directly home, but you should stay for ice cream and pop next door to Bruno's for drinks and food, or bike five blocks to Portland Mercado while you're in the area. Here's the route (which is shaped like the lower half of Pixie's smile before she had all her bottom teeth pulled \^^^^^/ ): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47890946

Bring food to share if you'd like. We'll have a short stop near a Plaid Pantry on the way. I'll have my speaker/trailer for music. We won't have any crazy bass DJs at the top this year so that we can focus on a nice quiet picnic experience. But once it gets dark we will have a little dance sesh! This is a safe space where we practice consent and non-violence. This ride follows the SHIFT code of conduct, and if you’re a banned from posting there, you're banned here, too. We have no tolerance for bigotry, hatred, and bullies.

Drinking PBR is not required, of course, it just works great with the name. Bring whatever drink you'd like to celebrate biking on car-free bridges.

Hey, Babs fans! Ready to welcome the Shabbat bride with a splash of diva fabulousness? Join us for a short “Funny Girl” ride that starts at 7PM at a former synagogue (now xhurch💓) in the Alberta area and finishes with a bang at Skidmore Bluffs (Mocks Crest). Pack your picnic for Shabbat dinner; we’ll provide all the “Yentl”-esque ritual goodies, including song sheets for the prayers (so you won’t be left asking, “Papa, Can You Hear Me?”). Got something special to celebrate or need some “Evergreen” community care? Let us know! We’ll have a moment for this during our Shabbat fun. Dress in your Babsy Best and get ready to sing your heart out! Drag and “Hello, Dolly!” costumes are not just encouraged—they're practically mandatory! Learn about the Alberta Shul, a non-denominational, queertastic, grassroots Jewish community organization, and find out how we can help you do Jew your way. Join us for a Shabbat with Babs that’s sure to be “The Way We Were”!

Do you love shooting on film? 35mm, medium format, miniature, instant, you name it. This ride is to celebrate this once-thought-dead format. Dust off your old Canonet QL17, pump up the tires on your Free Spirit, and come along with us for a 10 ish mile cruise. We’ll stop by several spots good for documenting on film. We'll head in a generally north-west direction, ending in St. Johns where we can swing by Blue Moon to drop off rolls for processing and maybe pick up a few fresh rolls or a new camera. Also: it is perfectly OK to bring film/camera-related things to share, trade, etc. In fact, it’s ENCOURAGED! I’ll be bringing some stuff I want to give away. And you can become a member of the Bikes and Film Cameras Club for the special ride-only price of $15. I'll have some memberships available. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a member to ride.

Roll out at 10:30am on a medium-paced (12-14mph) group road ride, crossing the two bridges over the Columbia River and enjoying the bike paths on each side. We'll finish where we started for a total of about 40 miles. We will try to stay together and have several quick regroup stops to help make that happen. As your ride leader, I respectfully request you stay behind me and allow me to set the pace. If you go off the front, I will not be in a position to yell cues or chase you down. If your pace is much slower than 12mph, we'll wait for a bit but may be gone from the regroup stop when you arrive. For maximum success, download the route (it's free - link below). Be sure to turn on the "POI" (points of interest) layer so you can see where the regroups and bathroom stop are. Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46462217 Rules (which you agree to follow just by showing up!): 1) no complaining 2) do whatever you want 3) do not sue me or the bike shop feeding us donuts! Things to bring: 1) No lock is needed 2) Your flat repair kit, including a spare tube (even if you run tubeless) 3) Your snacks and drinks (we will not be stopping at any stores or cafes) Thanks to Trek Bicycle Portland Slabtown for hosting us!

This is a chill pace road ride, friendly to beginners and experienced lady* riders alike (*trans-ladies this means you too!). Lady-powered bikes only - no dudes, no e-bikes, no offense**. We meet at 10am, roll at 10:10am. As usual, we'll meet at the northern end of the trolley trail at 17th Avenue & SE St Andrews Drive, across from the Goodwill Bins and very close to the Springwater Trail - about a half mile from the Orange Line MAX Johnson Creek/Tacoma stop. Some riders have trouble finding this for the first time, so you might consider studying the map before you head there. August's ride is our biggest of the year - 46 miles, 2900' of gain. We'll always aim to stay together for maximum fun. Our pace is chill and social. Please stay behind the ride leader so I may set the pace. If you're too fast to stay behind the ride leader, this is not the ride for you! Please plan this as an all day affair. We may not return to the start until 5pm or so and won't be rushing so riders can make other plans or appointments etc. Link to route below. We'll stop at a couple parks with bathrooms and water spigots for rest stops. We'll also be stopping at the little market in Beaver Creek for lunch. I'd still suggest you carry some snacks with you. It's also helpful if you can carry a small repair kit and spare tube (even if you are riding tubeless or don't know how to fix a flat). Which reminds me, there will be a flat repair clinic soon, stay tuned. Please email me any questions. This ride is for lady-powered bikes only - no dudes, no e-bikes, no offense. **Due to the speed and battery requirements of e-bikes, they are not a good fit for this ride. All of my other rides welcome e-bikes - full listing here: https://bicyclekitty.blogspot.com/

End location: At the Beaverton Night Market, at the Beaverton Central MAX Station
The ride will be approximately 12 miles with around 550 feet of elevation gain. We’ll be riding on pavement, gravel, bridges, and some dirt trails. You may need to walk and/or carry your bike during portions of the ride. This is a no-drop ride and we will regroup frequently to keep the group together. We will be heading up into the Hayhurst/Maplewood neighborhood between Garden Home and Multnomah Village to look at a future segment of the Red Electric Trail. The Red Electrics were a line of interurban passenger trains that connected cities and towns across the Willamette Valley in the early 20th century. One portion of this trail, a pedestrian and cycle bridge near Hillsdale, has already been installed. If the entire trail is completed, the Red Electric Trail would be a connector from Barbur Blvd to Oleson Rd for pedestrians and cyclists, following the old Red Electric right of way. The ride will meet up at the Beaverton Library at 3pm and will ride out at 3:30. We will be taking the Fanno Creek trail, sharrowed streets through the Maplewood neighborhood, exploring existing and future trail connectors, and braving a handful of high-traffic streets (Hall, Oleson) along the way. At the halfway point of the ride, we will have a park stop at Pendleton Park (next to Hayhurst School) to hang out, relax, and do some exploring! From there, we will ride out of Hayhurst and make our way back to Beaverton Central. The ride will culminate at the Beaverton Night Market at the Round, arriving around 5pm. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/47519710

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.

A chained ride to learn how to ride to PDX, use the bike parking and check out the new terminal! ** Woodstock Meet Point around 47th and Steele ** This ride has several pickup points. We'll start at Woodstock park at 11:00, then aim for the following: Creston Park 11:30 ** Creston Meet Point near the playground & dog park ** Laurelhurst Park 12:00 noon ** Laurelhurst meet point at the furthest NE point where the trails split, near 39th and Ankeny ** Wilshire Park 12:45 ** Wilshire Park meet point NE corner, near 37th and Skidmore ** Fernhill Park 13:00 ** Fernhill Park meet point NE Corner 41st and Holman ** I plan to stick to these times as close as possible, if we end up running late I'll try to put up a newsflash message. Ride out time will be the above time +10m to allow folks to collect and join. We'll do the inner Portland route to the airport taking the 42nd flyover to cornfoot to my favorite bike parking spot (not the new path), then jump in and experience the new terminal. Depending on how the group feels we can grab some food at the airport or head back out and gather somewhere else! On the way back I'm taking the shortest route I know to Woodstock- The new path away from PDX to Alderwood to Cully Blvd, which leads to Halsey and then the 50s bikeway all the way back (or to your closest exit). A note about me, I'm a quarter-century Portland bike commuter, if you have a route you have questions on, I've probably ridden it and I'm happy to share my knowledge with you. Feel free to stop in the park to ask me questions or join us for some part of the ride! It should be a beautiful day.

Meet at 1 pm leave at 1:30
End location: Peninsula Park, NE Portland. 700 N. Rosa Parks Way, PDX OR 9717
Ride to 3 different Portland game stores and buy a booster or play pack at each store and then draft a deck and play MTG! We will start at Westmoreland Park in SE. From there we will ride to Cloud Cap Games and buy our first pack of cards (optional). Next we will ride to Guardian Games for our second pack. Finally we will ride to The Portland Game Store in NE Portland. Then we will head to Peninsula Park to find a spot to open packs, draft decks and play a few rounds. This ride is approximately 10 miles one way. The first part is relatively flat but the ride from Guardian Games to The Portland Game Stores is a low but steady incline. We will go slow and most of the ride is on bike paths. It should take about 45 to 60 minutes to ride from store to store and then 20 minutes in each store to buy packs. This will be a chaos draft so you can draft from any set of cards not just the latest. Some basic lands will be available for deck building. If you can, please bring some lands too. Riders/players should bring/buy their own sleeves and mats if they want them. Buying cards and drafting are optional and not required for joining the ride. If you just want to come and checkout three local games stores you are welcome. The ride starts and ends near TriMet Yellow/Orange Max lines for rides who need transport to or from the ride.

As children watch patiently out the window for the chance to ride a bike to school or the park, and the skies fill with wildfire smoke, 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.

Stock up on snacks and libations before meeting up, then depart on a chill, slow-ish paced 5-mile (give or take) ride to our mystery destination. Ride not a loop. Lights, layers, and a picnic blanket are good ideas. Extra credit if you bring a telescope or good binoculars to observe the moon. Please note: THERE IS NO STORE STOP. There are markets near the ride start, so go there beforehand. There PROBABLY WON'T be open bathroom(s) at the end. Also: RIDE NOT A LOOP, we end where we stop. If you need help getting back to the start, let me know. THIS RIDE ENDS FURTHER OUT, A FEW MILES FROM TRI-MET. Please note this. And most importantly: THIS IS A GOOD CONDITIONS RIDE. Clouds, rain, smoke, and excessive heat may cancel the ride. Check the Shift calendar on the day of ride for confirmation. Sunset 8:10 PM, moonrise 8:34 PM.

We host themed rides all year, every Monday, plus more. Fairies and Woodland folk ride! What can you expect? Costumes….. And don’t stress out, you can wear jeans and a t-shirt and it’s the costume of a fairy pretending to be a human person. We will have music on the more serene side of things. Fairies may listen to Deep Grime and Dub-Step downtown when they’re channeling energies but we’re going to be visiting Fairy trees and Gardens and other portals. In keeping with the locations the music will be softer. We will visit the giant fairy tree, so big a portal that several people can go in at once, and We will give time for people to enter. Fairy’s and Imps and Woodland folk can have an extremely mischievous sense of humor so keep checking your valuables are where you left and touch your noses and ears often incase they got switched around.

I present to you a weekly Tuesday event at Bar Botellon ! just three blocks from Blumenauer Bridge! $2.00 tapa with every glass of wine purchased. https://barbotellon.com/tapas - tapas menu ! https://barbotellon.com/drinks - wine menu & other drinks :) Join other bike-minded folks for good wine, great tapas, and Spaniard vibes on the corner of NE 6th & Davis at Bar Botellon every Tuesday from 4-8pm (or so). Tapas Tuesday, inspired by Bike Happy Hour on Wednesday, is a place where anyone can show up and be embraced (not literally, unless you're a hugger!) by our wonderful community. Just show up and hang out. That's it! All ages are welcome but there is only street parking and bike racks where you can park bikes and displace cars if you want. No coloring books (sorry Jonathan :/ ) or crayons for the kiddos, but feel free to bring your own activities: puzzles, chess, games, GUITARS, castanets, whatever! Happy Hour will get you a $2.00 tapa with each glass of wine purchased

Downloading the route will be helpful: Route link: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/44925165 Be sure to turn POIs (points of interest) map layer on so you can see our regroups.

It's true! You can get to the airport by bike! Join for an exciting ride to the airport for the New Main Terminal Grand Opening! I'm selecting a route mostly on neighborhood greenways, low-traffic streets, and off-street paths for the most comfortable ride. Once at the airport we can lock up our bikes, see the glitzy new space (hello all timber roof!), and enjoy a happy hour at the new Loyal Legion Beer Hall (pre-security). When you are ready to depart, you can ride back on your own, or take the MAX with your bike back into town. A true multi-modal dream!

All riders are welcome to join this 7 mile journey, where we'll enjoy the freedom of the open road and the company of fellow tattoo enthusiasts. Let's pedal together and add a touch of whimsy to our ride! We will end our ride at the food carts and check out each other's tattoos.

This is your chance to dive into the best swimming hole in central city Portland, right on the Eastbank Esplanade.

Best way to get to Duckworth is to ride your bicycle, there is lots of bike parking on site. Taking transit is a close second - Rose Quarter Transit Center is a short 15min stroll to Duckworth.

Another installment of this ride of legend. It’s a celebration of Nic Cage ness…. We have activities: Nic Cage acting class (The Bees), Nic Cage Karaoke, Nic Cage dancing (Karate/Mosh/fight dancing), Nic Cage Masks (see our insta for the bizarreness of everyone looking like Nic Cage). Costumes can be whatever you have that’s Nic Cage ish for you…. Route: Nic Cages face will be plastered along the route so we can all yell ‘The Bees, The Bees’ each time we see one on the ride and into perpetuity. We will roll down Peacock Lane… Store stop for clean bathroom access…. Music: Is nearly all Nic Cage movie soundtracks and songs The ride is really inspired by making ride leader Kristie laugh…..but what’s so fun is on other rides seeing Nic Cage faces still and being in on the joke and looking totally mental to those who don’t know what’s happening as you point in some direction yelling ‘The Bees, The Bees’.

Nakedhearts:PDX (Moorland leads)

Leave for 7:45
Ride is a loop
The most fun naked ride we host. This ride needs people clothed so as we startle and surprise passers by it looks like the Zombies are chasing people. Costumes? Yes. Fake blood and oats makes great gore. Come as a Zombie apocalypse warrior survivor (no actual weapons)… Some people gradually turn into Zombies during the ride. Bandages and hospital smocks…. Theme: The World of the Dead zombie ride, embraces the vision of Zombie movie legend director George A Romero and is a stance against unbridled consumerism and group think. So ironically buy a bunch of fake blood and wander the roads in a Zombie horde yelling ‘Brains’ at passerby. We purposely Zombie Flash Mob and surprise large groups of people. It’s an amazingly liberating experience and transcends what zombies and horror and such and the gore and whilst looking your worst you are applauded and people wave hysterically happy to see us all…. This is my (Moorland) arguably favorite ride. The music is all from Zombie Movies and is intercut with the uncomfortable growls of the undead and movie dialogue…. As with all our rides, we practice consent and non-violence…. Please ask others for permission before eating any part of them.

This is an alley cat "race," not a group ride! No alley cat experience necessary, but must be comfortable riding around downtown. Theme is a surprise to prevent cheating. A list of locations will be distributed at start of event. Ride alone or as a team to take photos with your phone at locations to earn points. All team members' bikes must be in each photo to earn points. All wheels (bikes, onewheels, roller skates, skateboards, etc) are welcome to participate. However, participants using motorized/powered vehicles are not eligible for prizes due to a speed advantage. Participants with most points at end of event win prizes. What is an alley cat? It's like a scavenger hunt on bikes. Some locations will be worth more points than others, but you do not need to visit every location.

We made it!!! Can you believe Pedalpalooza is almost over? So many amazing rides, but does it feel like something's still missing...? Did you chat with a hottie on a Hard Rock and things got loud when it could have been more lit? Or you locked eyes with that babe on a Bianchi and wondering if they're into bike play? Has a certain Cannondale cutie been running 500 laps around your head? Then this ride is for YOU! Drop that single speed and pick up that tandem because this ride is all about making up for missed connections. We'll start with a romantic loop around Ladd's, watch dogs play at Irving park, and stop to smell the roses at Peninsula Park. Feel free to peel off if you make your connection happen. Glad it worked out! The rest of us will head to Skidmore Bluffs to catch the sunset and maybe make some more missed connections. Post your missed connections on Craigslist the before this ride and mention to help find your match :) Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48080571 Note: no store stop planned, so bring whatever you may need. I also won't have a big speaker, but I made a playlist for anyone that wants something on theme (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3cMFhL07P3K5fLJhgA4hEn).

Sat, Aug 24, 2024, 7:00 PM
Meet for 7:00pm ride for 7:30
Synth Wave? Theme: Synth music. I’ve a somewhat healthy ,bordering on obsessive, love for Atmospheric synth music. My mind conjures images of cruising through the desert going from one strange David Lynchesque space too a Ray Bradburyesque situation. Or traveling along like Humphrey Bogart after leaving some seedy North-Cal coastal hotel on the way with a rendezvous with a Blade Runner whose driving a Ferrari F40 so they can talk about the CyberPunks who’ve been interrupting Max Headroom’s transmissions. Or the Thumping beat over synth drones as shambling Zombies sniff out Sarah Connor whose on her way to speak too Crockett and Tubbs……. You get the picture? That’s a lot of references. It’s the cinematic mood music that makes each moment feel somehow pivotal and life transforming and memory making. I love this type of music. I love how evocative it is, especially when traveling and so I’m pleased to be hosting this ride and sharing the moments it’ll create for us all. Route. Social pace with a store stop. Costumes? Cyberpunk or 80’s work well. This is a NakedHearts:PDX ride. We ask everyone to follow the shift code of conduct. We have an introduction before the ride where we lay out practicing consent and non violence. It takes all of us to make the rides comfortable so we can all chill.

Ride is a loop
Patagonia Tour De Bridges The Patagonia Tour De Bridges is a unique opportunity to explore different areas of Portland and avenues for biking, while getting to either cross or see some of the bridges. Building off the rides hosted last year by Nathan Khalsa, who mapped out the Sellwood Bridge Tour (formerly River Romp), the rides this year seek to offer more opportunities for seeing the city and for different levels of biking and endurance. We are excited to share these rides with you and the contributions from the friends who helped create these What to Expect: Starting off at the store we will depart and head onto Broadway and go over the bridge. We’ll continue on Williams for a while until we navigate through some neighborhood roads off of Rosa Parks. We will eventually bike on Willamette Blvd for a moment before turning left on Polk Ave and arriving at Cathedral Park. When we reach Polk Ave we will be going down hill and moving rather fast, there are intersections and stops so please be mindful of giving each other enough space to break. We will take a little break at Cathedral Park, stretch, hydrate, energize, and use the restrooms! After our break we will be heading up a steep hill right away. People can either bike it or walk it, we will meet at the top before continuing on bike. Once at the top we will head to and turn right on St. Louis Ave, where we will continue until we turn left on Portsmouth Ave and then right onto Columbia Blvd. At Peninsular Ave we will be hopping of the sidewalk and turning right and navigating through some neighborhood roads until we turn right on Interstate Ave and make it back onto Broadway where we will turn left. At 7th Ave we will turn right and head down and over the Blumenauer Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge and head down along the Springwater Corridor to cross over the Sellwood Bridge. Coming back on the west side of the waterfront we will cross over the Tilikum Crossing Bridge and head over the Hawthorne bridge to the Steel Bridge and up to 7th Ave where we will head down to Couch Street and get back on to Burnside. After going over the Burnside bridge we will navigate city streets and finish up at the store. Key takeaways: •Meet at the store to sign waivers at 9:30AM to depart promptly by 10AM •For all levels of riders •As the ride concludes we will enjoy coffee and pastries at the store post ride •Bring your own water bottle. We will have filling stations for pre and post ride https://allbridgetour.splashthat.com/

End location: Sellwood
Ride with Mitch Green, a candidate for Portland City Council in District 4. This slow-paced bike ride starts at PSU and ends in Sellwood where we will meet a larger group of people canvassing for Mitch Green for Portland City Council District 4. This ride begins at the PSU Art Building at noon where the ride leader will review ride safety basics then briefly talk about Portland’s new city council districts and new ranked-choice voting system. Let's talk safe streets, climate leadership, and renters' rights. This could be a mellow ride and ideal for someone who prefers smaller groups, a route that is mostly on separated bike facilities, and fewest interaction with cars. The downtown portion of the ride involves sharing lanes with cars but eventually leads to protected paths, Tilikum Crossing, and the Springwater Trail. Please be prepared to service your own bicycle or find alternative transportation (transit or Biketown) in the event of a flat or repair issue. You are welcome to end the ride in Sellwood without joining the canvass event that starts at 1 p.m. There will be cold water and snacks the end point. Volunteers for Mitch Green’s campaign will be knocking doors to meet Sellwood neighbors. This ride is led by Maria Sipin, LCI, a certified League cycling instructor and Mitch Green’s campaign manager. For more information about the campaign visit mitch4portland.com or follow on instagram @mitch4portland. RSVP below to save the event details to your calendar.

(No drop means: Helping fix issues with bikes so nobody is left behind, etc.) Headed south is mostly downhill, but on the return back north it will be up hill, so we can take breaks if needed.

Ride is a loop
This social paced ride celebrates the lyrical wit and urban nostalgia of The Smiths and Morrissey. We’ll traverse 10-12 miles of familiar streets while listening to ballads of unrequited love, loneliness, and humor with newfound introspection. This is a safe space where we practice consent and non-violence. We ask that you seek permission, listen, and empower “no” before touching others or their property. We practice non-violence specifically around car interactions and corking; these are our neighbors and it’s important to be courteous and friendly. This isn’t a sober ride, but we do ask for moderation on drinking and substances. It’s a safe space and moderation helps keep the atmosphere relaxed. This ride follows the Shift code of conduct, and if you’re a banned rider there, you are banned here, too. We have no tolerance for bigotry, hatred, and bullies. Our music selection will also follows that guidance.

Do you play, live, or work around Lloyd Center and love walking or rolling? Join The Street Trust for a walk audit of Lloyd Center! A walk audit is a fun and educational way to assess and report on the safety and walkability of streets and intersections and inspire needed change. We'll be using the AARP Walk Audit Tool Kit -- a robust tool you may have first seen unveiled at the 2023 Oregon Active Transportation Summit hosted by The Street Trust! We'll walk and roll one mile around Lloyd Center's exterior and collect data to inspire future change. Wear comfortable footwear and weather-suitable clothing. This route is designed to be walked and rolled; you can wheel your bike along or leave it securely parked inside our offices during the outside portion. The Lloyd Center Walk Audit is a precursor to the Week Without Driving, September 30-October 6, during which The Street Trust and partners will host a series of events to help people learn firsthand about the barriers and challenges that nondrivers face. Join 3,500 Oregonians in signing the Week Without Driving pledge: thestreettrust.org/wwd

Since the Drive-Thru is open to bikes, what better way to celebrate the end of a hummus-discount era than to patronize their establishment by bike. This ride will cruise 4.3 miles from Rose City Bluff above Rose City Golf Course, down 53rd Ave and Ankeny St., and end at the King Harvest Drive-Thru at 15th and SE Morrison (ride is NOT a loop). Bring money and a way to carry your hummus hual!

Ride is a loop
A ride based upon the Movie Die Hard and 80’s action movies. A sound track that will leave you wanting to tie a bandanna round your head, tear the sleeves of your shirt and do training montages to upbeat 80’s hair rock. The music is so ridiculous and 80’s action movie themed you might end up smoking cigars, doing the crane kick, dirtying your white tank top and walking away from huge explosions looking cool. Worried about the overt masculinity? It’s all tongue in cheek and the games are all super silly. Want to help the ride? Bring yourself ready to play like a child. Calm Corkers always super appreciated as well. As with all our rides, we practice consent and non-violence. If you have concerns please talk to the ride leader.

RSVPs required because space is limited, but if you're seeing this there's still room! This is a rare opportunity for folks outside our WeBike WTFNB+ program to take part in a The Street Trust fix-a-flat clinic! We'll start with a conversation and demonstration about flat tires–What tools do you need to fix a flat? How the heck do you take off a rear wheel? To patch or not to patch? This portion of the clinic will take one hour. Then we'll solicit feedback about the demonstration and do some run-throughs of how we'll distribute practice materials for the hands-on portion of the clinic, though we won't be getting our hands dirty tonight. The event will have a relaxed, welcoming vibe, and is designed for folks with all experience levels. Bring all your questions, and if you have tips and tricks you want to share with the group, we can't wait to hear 'em. This will be an indoor event. Masks aren't required, but they are welcomed and will be provided.

Patagonia Tour De Bridges In Portland Oregon there are a total of 37 vehicle and pedestrian bridges. The Patagonia Tour De Bridges is a unique opportunity to explore different areas of Portland and avenues for biking, while getting to either cross or see some of the bridges. Building off the rides hosted last year by Nathan Khalsa, who mapped out the Sellwood Bridge Tour (formerly River Romp), the rides this year seek to offer more opportunities for seeing the city and for different levels of biking and endurance. We are excited to share these rides with you and the contributions from the friends who helped create these. What to Expect: Starting off at the store we will depart and head onto Hawthorne Bridge (1) and go over the bridge. The Hawthorne Bridge is a truss bridge with a vertical lift and is one the oldest vertical-lift bridges in operation in the US. It opened in 1910. The total length of the bridge is 1,382 feet and has 880,000-pound counterweights that are suspended from the two 165 foot tall towers. Coming down from the bridge we will take a left and head towards the Tilikum Crossing bridge (2) and go over and turn right onto Bond Ave. The Tilikum Crossing Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge and opened in 2015. The bridge is 1,720 feet long and offers crossing for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit. We will navigate up along the waterfront towards the Steel Bridge (3) and cross east on the lower deck. The Steel Bridge is a through truss double-deck vertical-lift bridge and opened in 1912. It is the only double-deck bridge with independent lifts in the world. The upper-deck offers access for cars, public transit, pedestrians, and cyclists. The lower-deck offers access for railcars, pedestrians, and cyclists. We will navigate through some city roads and head towards the Blumenauer Bridge (4). The Blumenauer Bridge, previously known as the Congressman Earl Blumenauer Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge and Sullivan’s Crossing, connects Lloyd District and Kerns neighborhoods and spans over Interstate 84. The bridge opened in 2022. It is a tied-arch design and is 475 feet long and is only accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. We will head north on 7th Ave and turn left onto Broadway heading over the Broadway Bridge (5) and back to the store. The Broadway Bridge is a truss rall-type bascule bridge that is 1,742 feet long and opened in 1913. It is the longest bascule design type bridge in type in the world. In 2012 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge is accessible to pedestrians, cyclists, cars, and public transit. Key takeaways: •Meet at the store to sign waivers at 5:30PM to depart promptly by 5:45PM • All levels of riders are encouraged to join •As the ride concludes we will enjoy Patagonia Provisions tasting with beer, wine, and N/A options •Bring your own water bottle. We will have filling stations for pre and post ride https://5bridgetour.splashthat.com/

finally we will do this ride we’ve been wanting for years to do. Costumes? 1985 or 1955? Have a lab coat? Drain pipe trousers that are too short? A life saver? The clothing from the first movie is so iconic but maybe you’re a cowboy? Or a cyber punk kid? Pick your back to the future movie period…. Maybe there’s a prize that’s not a pile of dung for best costume…. There will be games…participation is mandatory. Can we hit 8.8 mph as a group and travel back in time? Can someone fall out of a tree and be pushed out of the way of a cargo bike? Will we find that sweet Tacoma? Climb the clock tower in time? Ride ends with a 50’s enchantment under the sea dance.

Ride is a loop
If you're a ride leader or aspiring ride leader, or interested in learning about the art of route planning from a League of American Bicyclists League Cycling Instructor and seasoned route creator and ride leader, come on out! Or maybe you'd just like to come on a fun bike ride and help by contributing feedback about the route--that's a huge help, too. We'll be riding 4-5 miles, starting and ending at Luuwit View Park (meet at the picnic tables under the yellow canopy, close to Fremont & 129th). No ride leading or route testing experience required, but you will need to provide your own wheels. You can also join us as a ride escort on the day of the event–Sunday, September 8th at 10:30 a.m.--by signing up here: https://secure.everyaction.com/AHr3QwEhDkWuKOWX-KGBlQ2 This is also a unique opportunity to learn about and see the site of the future Columbia Levee Connector! The Columbia Levee Connector will be a multi-modal pathway that spans from Sandy Blvd to NE Marine Drive at about 142nd (running north-south), strategically linking Argay and Parkrose Neighborhoods to the bustling Columbia River. This is a project The Street Trust has been involved with and we'll be giving a tour of the site and sharing news about the history and future of the exciting project. Regular (non-e) bikes are fine for helping at Ride2Own events--our group rides are relatively slow so we can all stay together. However, if you're an e-bike rider or e-bike booster, we especially want to have you there spreading the love! About Ride2Own Ride2Own is an e-bike ownership program run by The Street Trust with pilots in Hillsboro, Milwaukie, Parkrose, and Portsmouth. Learn more at Ride2Own.org

Wait 10 mins MTB time
Alright, you physics-defying maniacs! Let's break down this entire ride from start to finish with a full physics analysis that would make Einstein proud. Buckle up, because we're about to turn Portland into one giant physics lab! The PDX Tectonic Trail Tamer: Full Physics Breakdown Mount Scott Summit Start (1,093 ft elevation) Potential energy at start: mgh = 80kg * 9.8m/s^2 * 333m ≈ 261,072 Joules Extreme Descent Trail: Log Jumps (50 ft long, 15 ft drops): Takeoff velocity: √(2gh) = √(2 * 9.8 * 4.57) ≈ 9.45 m/s Airtime: 2v/g = 2 * 9.45 / 9.8 ≈ 1.93 seconds G-force on landing: Up to 4G (39.2 m/s^2) Mega Launches (25-30 ft takeoffs): Max height: h = v^2 / (2g) ≈ 7.6m above takeoff Airtime: √(2h/g) ≈ 2.5 seconds G-force on landing: Up to 5G (49 m/s^2) Switchbacks: Centripetal acceleration: v^2/r ≈ 22.3 m/s^2 (2.27G) in tightest turns I-205 Springwater Corridor: Flat terrain power output: P = Fv ≈ 300-400 Watts Air resistance: F = 0.5ρv^2CdA ≈ 40N at 25 mph Division Street to Mount Tabor: Work done climbing: W = mgh = 80kg * 9.8m/s^2 * 194m ≈ 152,208 Joules Mount Tabor Descent: Max velocity: v = √(2gh) ≈ 20 m/s (44.7 mph) Kinetic energy at bottom: 0.5mv^2 ≈ 16,000 Joules Gateway Mountain Bike Jump Course: Average jump height: 5-10 ft (1.5-3m) Typical airtime: t = √(2h/g) ≈ 0.8-1.1 seconds per jump Cumulative airtime: ≈ 10-15 seconds over course Rocky Butte North Side Wrap: Variable terrain: Alternating between potential and kinetic energy Average power output: 200-300 Watts Rocky Butte Final Ascent: Work done climbing: W = mgh = 80kg * 9.8m/s^2 * 91.4m ≈ 71,740 Joules Average power output: 350-450 Watts Overall Ride Physics: Total distance: ≈ 20 miles (32 km) Net elevation change: 0 (start and end at similar elevations) Total energy expenditure: ≈ 2,000-3,000 kCal (8,368,000 - 12,552,000 Joules) Cumulative G-force exposure: Equivalent to a 3-minute fighter jet aerobatic routine Total airtime: ≈ 30-40 seconds (cumulative over all jumps) Fluid Dynamics: Estimated sweat rate: 1-2 L/hour Recommended fluid intake: 500-750 ml/hour of electrolyte solution Biomechanics: Peak leg force: Up to 3x body weight during jumps and sprints Spinal compression: Up to 5x body weight on hard landings MODIFIED DISCLAIMER: PDX TECTONIC TRAIL TAMER WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND SANITY By embarking on this physics-defying journey, you hereby acknowledge: You're voluntarily turning yourself into a human projectile. Your body will experience forces typically reserved for astronauts and crash test dummies. The laws of physics are more like guidelines on this ride. Your bike may achieve flight, but you are not guaranteed a safe landing. Hydration is key, unless you want to become a dehydrated human calculator. Neither Pedalpalooza, the trail systems, nor Newton himself are responsible for your gravitational misadventures. By riding, you're declaring: "I understand that I'm basically a mobile physics experiment, and I accept all the potential energy, kinetic energy, and face-plants that come with it." Ride hard, defy gravity responsibly, and may the forces be with you! The Cycle Godfather has spoken. Now go forth and make Einstein proud (or terrified)! Oh PS...Alright, you mass-producing mayhem makers! Let's crank this up to 11 and see what happens when we unleash 20 gravity-defying cyclists on this physics-bending route. Prepare for a data dump that would make a supercomputer sweat! PDX Tectonic Trail Tamer: 20-Rider Extreme Analysis Total Rider Stats: 20 riders Average weight: 80kg per rider (including gear) Total mass: 1,600kg of pure cycling chaos G-Force Exposure (Cumulative for all 20 riders): Mount Scott Mega Launches: Peak G-force: 5G per rider Total G-force exposure: 100G-seconds per jump Cumulative for all jumps: ≈ 2,000G-seconds Switchbacks and Berms: Average G-force: 2G per rider Total lateral G-force exposure: ≈ 800G-seconds Jump Landings: Peak G-force: 4G per rider Cumulative impact G-force: ≈ 1,600G-seconds Total G-Force Exposure for Group: Peak: 100G (5G x 20 riders) at any given moment Cumulative: ≈ 4,400G-seconds over entire ride Energy and Work: Potential Energy at Mount Scott Summit: Total: 20 x 261,072J = 5,221,440 Joules Work Done Climbing (total for all ascents): Mount Tabor: 20 x 152,208J = 3,044,160 Joules Rocky Butte: 20 x 71,740J = 1,434,800 Joules Total Energy Expenditure: Per rider: 2,500 kCal (average) Group total: 50,000 kCal (209,200,000 Joules) Fluid Dynamics: Total sweat output: 20-40 liters Recommended group fluid intake: 10-15 liters of electrolyte solution Airtime Analysis: Cumulative airtime per rider: ≈ 30-40 seconds Total group airtime: 600-800 seconds (10-13.3 minutes of total air time!) Mechanical Stress: Total peak force on all bikes during landings: 20 x (80kg x 10) = 16,000kg-force Cumulative brake heat dissipation: Equivalent to cooling a small car engine Environmental Impact: Trail erosion: Equivalent to 100 normal riders Noise generation: Approximately 90-100 dB at peak (similar to a rock concert) Risk Assessment: Probability of at least one rider experiencing a wipeout: 99.9% Likelihood of breaking a local speed record: 85% Chance of impressing/terrifying onlookers: 100% MODIFIED GROUP DISCLAIMER: PDX TECTONIC TRAIL TAMER 20-RIDER MADNESS WAIVER By joining this 20-person physics experiment, you collectively acknowledge: You're part of a human avalanche of poor decision-making. The combined G-forces experienced could launch a small satellite. Your group fluid loss could fill a kiddie pool. The trail may never recover from your passage. Local seismographs may register your ride as a minor earthquake. Neither Pedalpalooza, the trail systems, nor any known laws of physics can be held responsible for the chaos you're about to unleash. By riding as a group, you're declaring: "We understand that we're essentially a mobile physics disaster, and we accept all the potential energy, kinetic energy, and collective face-plants that come with it." Ride as a pack, defy gravity en masse, and may the forces be multiplied! The Cycle Godfather has spoken. Now go forth and make Newton roll in his grave!

End location: Baltimore Woods Natural Area in St Johns
UPDATE: This my rescheduled ride from July 26, my 50th birthday. HERE'S THE ORIGINAL RIDE INFORMATION: It's my 50th time around the sun and I'm celebrating by inviting you, yes YOU, to ride a fun 50-mile route all over Portland. Let's celebrate all of the birthdays in the only proper month for a birthday: July. It's a mixture of my SE Technically Singletrack route with points north into St Johns and southwest into the hills. Expect to ride on footpaths, nonpaved streets and alleys, various rights of way, probably a volcano, and a splash of shenaniganerous tomfoolery. There may be a peacock or a donkey, possibly a great blue heron or bald eagle (or crows nipping at bald eagles mid-flight!). We'll do some snack stops, bathroom breaks, probably stop for photos. This is the third year I'm doing this ride and for this year I'm going bigger. I had the idea for the technically singletrack ride a few years ago during pandemic lockdowns. I was riding my bike along the path next to the Springwater when I joked to myself that I was technically riding singletrack. I expanded on the idea and realized I could make a bike route out of it. While everyone is welcome, keep in mind this may be challenging for some riders. This is a sober, no-drop ride that's neither a race nor a party ride. Leave your attitude problems and negativity at home. This is a fun ride celebrating life, community and taking the long way to nowhere via the worst route possible. It's a way to see parts of Portland where you may not be familiar or maybe link together a better way of going somewhere familiar. Ideally, I'd love everyone to make their own technically singletrack route here or elsewhere; no rules, just community and fun. Here is the route in Ride with GPS https://ridewithgps.com/routes/45281757 (Obviously I encourage single speed and/or fixed gears) If you have questions, email me at mcgloin at mac dot com.

The ride will be slow-paced and welcoming to all. Safety-themed costumes are encouraged. We'll start at Wallace Park and end at Los Gorditos on SE Division. All are welcome to grab lunch and socialize together afterward.

September brings the (unofficial) end of summer and a return to school and work, if you’re European. Because Europeans get like 20 weeks off a year!* Since there’s no indication that American vacation time is going to take a cue from that of our friends across the pond, let’s get together and talk shop. Union shop, that is. This ride was tentatively planned for the last day of Pedalpalooza but, wouldn’t you know, it requires a bit more organizing. Please get in touch if you’d like to address a group of riders about what makes a workplace a good candidate for unionization, want your unionized workplace included on our ride route, or can otherwise offer help. Let’s get Portland a bit more organized! *Perhaps a slight exaggeration.

Meet for 7 and ride for 7:30 ish
Ride is a loop
See insta link for video from 2023’s ride. Oh the grooves will be great and the dance spots will be cool but can you bring yourself to dance badly? I like to dance like a 5 year old at a wedding reception… ‘Dancing Ugly’ is a concept about freeing yourself from dancing for others gaze…However, we’re all going to be together doing our best to dance badly.. Special imaginary prizes will be handed out…Such as: Can’t keep a beat trophy, Do they need medical attention badge, Needing to pee really badly banner….And some others. We’re going to be getting down hard and badly on this dance ride. You’re invited to embrace the weirdness and be in an attitude that translates to personal Empowerment and a greater sense of self off the dance floor….Well that’s my excuse… I’ll fitting clothes recommended… Music will be dance centric and more than just EDM and Lizzo (but there will be Lizzo and EDM). Route will be a loop. Pace will be slow and social. Refreshment stop early. We will visit 3-4 dance spots each for about 10-15 mins before rolling. All our rides are safe places, please help foster this communities acceptance and respect for each other. Corkers and safe people volunteers appreciated, come talk with me (Moorland) at the start if you want to help support the ride.

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.

A mash up of the three rides listed. Extravaganza night

Come along and sing to well known songs. Submit your song requests to Moorland or volunteers before the start or at any of the refreshment stops we will make. We will have a big sound system, disco lights..maybe even a fog machine. We have karaoke at our stops and sing-a-long songs as we ride. This ride was one of the highlights of our 2022 rides, and happy for it to be making a return. The ride will be slow paced and a loop. We usually have spare tubes/pump and basic tools just incase. We follow the shift code of conduct.

CANCELLED JOIN LOUD N LIT
Nathan
Sat, Aug 31, 2024, 8:45 PM
Meet 8:45, ride by 9/9:15
End location: End location will be ~10-15 min ride from start location in NE
CANCELLED - JOINING LOUD AND LIT Summer is almost over, let's dance about it. With a playlist of energetic house hits, we'll flash mob around town and dance the night away. We'll make stops at various public spaces for 1-2 song flash mob dance parties while we encourage the public to join us. Meet at 8:45 - Ride by 9/9:15 End around 11/12 with dance party I have ~10 flash mob sites throughout inner NE, SE, and the waterfront pre-selected. Google maps says the ride would be 8.7 mi, 55 min riding straight through so I'd imagine we'll be somewhere between 2-3 hours. I have a backup shorter end spot if it's getting late. Open to impromptu stops based on the song, location, moment. Also feel free to hit me up on insta for song and flash mob site recs. Encouraged dress code: ~!ElectriC!~ ~!BrighT!~ ~!VibranT!~ ~!RaVe!~ ~!LightS!~ I have two big Soundboks speakers. You're welcome to play your own music if the ride is big enough, just make sure you're keeping your distance from the lead speaker and others so the bass isn't wonky. No one likes wonky bass. Dancing on your bike is highly encouraged, look like a silly goose and let it loose. Also, rather than following behind the ride leader like a line of ducks, lets try to surround me so when we stop, we're all ready to dance as soon as possible.

End location: Ladd Circle
Perhaps the most joyous and the shortest of all rides, the Ding Ding Ride (usually led by the inimitable Armando Luna) celebrates bikes and their bells. Join fellow bike riders with a night cap and hat tip to Bike Summer/Pedalpalooza 2024 with three minutes of joy and bike bell ringing around Ladd Circle. (NOTE: Armando will not be available to lead and has given his blessing for me to lead the ride in his absence.) The ride is simple: Come to Ladd Circle in Southeast Portland, ride around three minutes while ringing your bell and then leave. The ride will begin promptly at 11:57 pm and end promptly at 12:00 am. This ride is a peaceful celebration of bike love. Please be kind to neighbors who may be resting, sleeping or getting ready for sleep. Please no loud music or noises…JUST acoustic BIKE BELLS! I want to also recognize that this expression of joy, love and fun is done on land that has been stolen from Native Peoples of this region through genocide, and that to this very day people around the world are suffering greatly under the same conditions because of the military-industrial complex of which cars and car infrastructure are products. So let us express our protest and love at once…And for three minutes. Free Palestine! And all oppressed Peoples of the world.
