Calendar

Ladds 500 is next week, so let's get a chance to prepare for the rotational fun on this ride! I'm not affiliated with Ladds 500. We will be at NE Parks Edge Circle in Hillsboro, with the nearest MAX stop being the Fairplex. We'll do 50 laps and chill in the middle when we're done. Also, feel free to bring in whatever silly contraption of a bike you may have I'm also using this as a chance to preview how much interest people might have on doing a larger circular ride over in the Westside, as the plan is to do a grand ride at the end of the dry season!

Reach out to me in the Ride Westside Slack

Hey, it's me, Viv! You might know me from the Lord of the Rings ride, or from co-leading The Totally 100% True and Not at All Made Up Historical Tour of Portland Ride. I'm usually the one coasting around on inline skates, though occasionally I show up on a bike. This year I'm turning 46 and celebrating the only way that makes sense, a roughly 7-8-mile skate/bike cruise around town and through parks with good people. Come roll (or pedal) with me on some smooth-ish streets and beautiful spring weather! Ride is a loop. Can't make the ride? No worries, I'll also be hanging out at Moore's Alley from 6-8pm. Swing by and say hi either way! All riders, all wheels, all welcome. Warning: If you are on skates, hill control is a must. We will be going down a couple steep hills.

Join All Bodies On Bikes, Portland OR Chapter on Saturday, April 4th for a fun waterfront ride! This ride is 10.5 miles and is a loop.

There’s rides some of us talk about doing for months and ever since The New Country versus New Authentic country row last Summer Moorland and Ella had talked about making this ride happen. This ride will have both leaders cohosting and won’t be two parallel rides. Here’s Ella’s description: The playlist is for the nights you remember every heartbreak, every messed-up moment, and every feeling you didn’t know how to handle. Blink-182, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Panic! At The Disco, and Good Charlotte, are a few of the bands that became the soundtrack to growing up, to surviving middle school, high school, first loves, and first losses. Now, you’re older, life is messy in different ways, but sometimes you need to grab your bike, hit the streets, and let those songs carry you. Singing loud at stoplights, doing your best to headbang and pedal through the city, letting the angst, nostalgia remind you of who you were and who you’ve become and what you have overcame. It’s not about speed. It’s not about distance. It’s about showing up, feeling everything, and letting the music make it okay to take space, be loud, and feel alive. If these bands and others were in your soundtrack too, come ride. Big feelings, jams, and maybe a little magic Here’s Moorland’s description: Hoping to redeem the lost to Ella’s win last year and bring out the Emo Titans…. Expect The Cure, One Last Wish, Moss Icon, Split Lip, Indian Summer, Rites of spring, Minor Threat, as well as the softer side from late new wave bands and other 80’s and early 90’s artists with a penchant for eyeliner and lyrics about the futility of life and trying but also romantic frustration…. Could this be my chance to regain glory after lasts years utter defeat? Hoping the Cure beats out Deathcab for Cutie… As with all our rides we practice consent and non-violence. We ask everyone to be responsible for the safety of the ride and riders by being considerate and respectful… Ie please don’t race through the group while riding no hands and smoking a cigerette while blasting your own music from a tiny speaker….

Dead Baby Club ride for all the weirdos, outcasts, normies, whoever. This months ride will be lead by yours truly, Backpack (aka wouldn't you like to know). Ride meets at 8pm at Zach's shack on Hawthorne. Will end at some point. Tell your friends! Tell your religious leaders! Tell your local politicians! The Dead Baby Club ride is here and it'll be fun! If you come and don't have fun that's on you! It'll be a no-drop ride at a casual party pace. Estimated total ride mileage should be appx. 8-12 miles, with a couple stops in the middle of that. Really should be a chill fun night. Please buy some firewood at the store stop before the end. The ride will be friendly to freak bikes and slower riders. I will have a free limited edition sticker you can only get at the end spot of the ride. Be there or be around.

Ride around NE Portland with Kidical Mass! Put on your bunny ears and celebrate spring with a family-friendly bike ride and egg hunt. We’ll ride from the Irving Park playground to Grant Park on neighborhood greenways and quiet streets. The ride is a loop, with a break at the playground and egg hunt in the middle, so its suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike. Decorate your bikes and helmets with bunny ears and flowers, and bring a basket for easter eggs for the kids. We ride slow for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to ride 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. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too! Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46279660

April 5 is Star Trek’s high holy First Contact Day, when extraterrestrials first greet earthlings. Celebrated by making new friends with intelligent beings wildly alien to you. Prophecy foretells that on this date in 2063, the first warp flight by Zefram Cochrane in Bozeman Montana leads to Vulcans finally introducing themselves, changing humanity forever. Seems like a good theme for a group ride on a Sunday afternoon with decent weather. Ride is a loop, in the shape of the Star Fleet symbol. Visits at least SEVEN Star Trek related sights over 15 miles. Bar stop halfway, possible projector movie at end. One hard hill, some sidewalks, possible stairs if the Wesley Crusher WunderCrossing's turbolift is offline.

Welcome to Mellow Mondays 2026. Are you interested in leading a ride? This is a supportive and organized way to lead for the first time. Every week there’s different themes but there are constants…. Slow pace, about 8 mph, Distance varies but approx 10 miles, Family friendly, We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides, Store stop for safe clean bathroom access but generally we try and make these stops short, Skater friendly (but please check with ride leader about crunchy or potential issues for skates), ALL Wheels friendly (scooter, skates, skateboard, e bikes etc), Ride is always a loop, Corking and traffic intersections are calm. Be mindful of smoking around others and do not smoke around children. FAQ, Can I bring a speaker? Yes but please speak to the ride leader and play the music they’ve carefully selected or what their preference is. Can I lead a ride? Yes, please attend a few first and get a feel for how the rides are. I’ve heard NakedHearts supports other rides? Yes, we can help with planning, encouragement, promotion, sound support and what not. What do you mean you practice consent? We ask everyone (even friends, relatives, husbands and wives with each other) to ask for permission before touching anyone else or their belongings and when asking to seek listen and empower ‘No’. What do you mean you practice Non-violence? We specifically expect everyone to be calm, kind and respectful with all car interactions. One riders aggression to a car driver can put everyone else at risk. We live in a small city and are bound to encounter the same drivers again. Are all your rides a protest? Yes, being together with respect and acceptance and finding comfort and joy around others and strangers is an act of protest against the divisive paradigm we are in.

This ride is a rolling dance party. We will have stops for dancing. If you've got tickets to Byrne's show at 8pm, rest assured the finale is nearby and close to when doors open at 7pm. This is a no-drop ride and an all-inclusive ride. Let a ride leader know if there's an issue. The official Pedalpalooza Talking Heads Ride will still be held by River later this year. Costumes? Oh yeah! Want to bring a speaker? Hooray! Please talk to a ride leader to get the setlist.

Ride_WestSide

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, riding every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic party-paced “rolling dive bar” of a ride for newcomers and regulars alike. Most rides will feature park and store stops, but come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. New leadership, same positive vibes. While you might expect some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct, and if you’re banned from any Shift rides, TNR isn’t for you. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. Riders should practice consent, accountability, respect, and de-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements by 7:30, leave after “Beer Minutes.” 🕢 If you’re not at the fountain by 7:30, you may want to meet us at the next stop. 🧭 Live Location: https://ridewithgps.com/users/1303039/live_log ✨Be an Empowered Bystander✨ See something off? Step up in a way that feels right for you: 🗣️ Direct: If it’s safe, say *That's Not Right* for TNR. 🎭 Distract: Change the vibe and give them an out 🙋🏽 Delegate: Get help from a ride leader or trusted friend ⏳ Delay: Check in with the person afterwards 📝 Document: Write down what happened

Thursday Night Ride

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

Friday night ride is a social ride for people who enjoy a sporty pace and adventurous routes. Every ride is different but generally range between 15 and 25 miles and you can expect some climbing and higher speeds than your average pedalpalooza ride. NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE. Riders should be self sufficient and have a plan for getting themselves home. This is a bicycle-forward group ride. Pedal-assist ebikes are ok (class 1 & 2). Throttle heavy, high speed battery powered motor bikes are not (class 3 & 4). If you're not pedaling it’s not a bicycle and you will asked to leave. Bring lights/locks/responsible vibes/a cup/ Casual pace with some extra zip 10-20ish mile rides with store stops/park stops/art stops NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Be careful of slippery roads/leafs on ground/pot holes. Call out road hazards to help bike friends stay safe. 2nd Fridays are MMR - later night vibes to make it to Midnight Mystery Ride. If you want to lead a ride just ask! REPEAT… NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Guest ride leaders wanted and appreciated! Instagram @fridaynightride

A pop-up Celebration of Words and Vision will be shown along the Columbia River Gorge. Poetry and art will be along two car free trails of Historic Columbia River Highway paved and accessible. Riding is Self Directed and not a group ride. The word and visual poetics center around the Columbia River Gorge and are placed within the panoramas of the Gorge. Come celebrate the work of Claudia Luna Castro, Kara Briggs, Kelly Lenox, and Speakthunder Berry. Read the words and see their artwork as the heart & mind landscape of the Columbia River Gorge. Let your own heart, mind, and eyes take in this place unique to the world. Come Walk, Roll, or Cycle these Car Free paved trails along two sections, 1) Wyeth to Starvation Creek and 2) Hatfield Twin Tunnels trails. Accessible Restrooms are at both ends of each trail. Each pop-up section has embedded poetry and art along each 4-mile trail. Two artists will have their artwork near one of the initial trail entrances within a half mile from the parking lot. Two poets will have their poems near the middle of the 4-mile total length (e.g. at 1.5 to 2 miles from either end). Those not used to walking/rolling/cycling a lot can enjoy a short distance from the parking lot of two spots for poems and artwork. For those wanting more, consider doing both two loops of about 8 miles each! Remember this is not an athletic event; it is time to take a break from the madness of the world and imbibe in the grandeur of this very world we call the Gorge. Sadly, there is no car free connection between the two trails nor are direct transit connections between these two event destinations. Trail comment: Both trails have an ADA appropriate 5% grades and are completely easy for parents with strollers & people using assistive devices. This event is a Welcome for All Bodies, All Ages, All Bikes, All Abilities for reinvigorating hearts & minds. Maps & I-84 exit directions available at the below web site. Details can be viewed: https://gorgepedal.com/gppoetry/ We hope to see you on the trails by the poems and artwork. Questions & comments: ajz@zelada.com

The Overlook monthly rides are free, family-friendly, and offer an opportunity to get outside and meet neighbors in a conversational paced ride that explores the many bike paths, routes, and destinations that Overlook has to offer. Route is always less than 6 miles (about 1 hour of riding) and is a loop. The rides are monthly on the 2nd Sunday of each month. The ride is led by Overlook Neighborhood Association Chair Nic Cota. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, want to get involved, or have any issues/ideas related to transportation in the Overlook neighborhood!

Overlook Neighborhood

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 and collect dry non perishables for food donations every month. ​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 🤘🏽
