For some strange reason* I was asked to lead the Thursday Night Ride on this date, some months ago. From the early days of this ride I have done my best to enliven it with music but never have led it, or any large ride. Figured I would give it a try. I will take the opportunity to bring out my best soundsystem, that is a bit much to deal with on the typical mystery ride. As some of the pieces are still coming together, I'd like to get everything working & sounding the best, in a calmer scenario. Also, it is strangely important to me, this time of year, while we still can - to start a night ride before it is fully dark. I have got to keep it simple on the TNR, to accommodate sound trailers but this ride is even simpler we just head down the Springwater a ways & sample some more chill music than may be heard on the ride perhaps, but also push the limits of what can be done to ensure that all is functioning as expected. Additional SKAA speakers can possibly be accommodated - I may run dual transmitters & might have a spare receiver or 2 just be aware the range might not turn out as good on the ride & I'd prefer solid sound over added speakers. At the end spot we can max it. Heading to the fountain around 7:40. * its my bday

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, riding every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic party-paced “rolling dive bar” of a ride for newcomers and regulars alike. Most rides will feature park and store stops, but come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. New leadership, same positive vibes. While you might expect some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct, and if you’re banned from any Shift rides, TNR isn’t for you. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. Riders should practice consent, accountability, respect, and de-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements at 7:30. 🗺️ TNR #543 Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52426172 ✨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!

Casual ride to art galleries for the First Friday Art Walk. Cat attire welcome, as the first art gallery has cat themed art! First Friday Art Walk is a monthly tradition where art galleries stay open late, bring in artists, have free food, and have hands-on arts projects. http://firstfridaypdx.org/ Biking is the best way to get around to these wonderful galleries, as they're spread around inner SE/NE. We get to 5-8 galleries, depending on how long our group spends in each gallery. We don't know exact routes and galleries, because we decide in the moment. We'll stay out until ~9:30pm, then see if folks are up for a group dinner afterwards. Join for as many galleries as you like, and leave when you wish. If you have a sound system bring it! I love music on group bike rides. Ride details: 5-15 minutes of biking between galleries. Our ride is perfect for new cyclists and families with kids. We'll go at a slow pace so folks can socialize, and everyone can keep up. We'll use small neighborhood streets with minimal cars.

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

Look, I know you don’t regularly dress up but it’s the 30 year anniversary of this classic joint, you ain’t got no job, and you ain’t got sh!t to do! Join @djgregoryt, @lovergirl.pdx @iamlcmiller and me for this special bike and skate collaboration Friday theme party. Dress up as your favorite Friday movie universe character (Felicia, Pinky, Dada, any of the trilogy movies) and party with us while we play classic Westcoast Hip-Hop, Funk and R&B. You have the option of skating with DJ Gregory T for this unique installment of Music and Friends directly at Boise Elementary. Or cruise your way down with me on bikes at Peninsula Park also starting at 7pm and merge with the party at Boise-Eliot Elementary close to 8pm. While this event is set to be a good time, it’s our responsibility to keep each other safe. Follow the code of conduct that’s on the Shift2bikes calendar aka this is like going to someone’s home you like; don’t forget your manners mama taught us. Let’s be conscious about drinking or smoking if you do choose to indulge; you need to be in good shape to make it back to your crib. We will be stopping the music at 9pm and with the help of Stanley’s projector, we will be screening the movie itself afterwards. Please feel free to bring snacks, blankets or any picnic items. Lastly, this collaborative event is free however, a $5 donation is suggested to offset the permits and equipment cost. No one will be turned down from attending if you don’t have the funds but is appreciated. Hope to see y’all out there, watch out for Debo.

Rising a couple hours before sunset is a bright moon that is nearly full. We celebrate body freedom and acceptance by the light of the Waxing Gibbous Moon!

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

Arrive at PSU Market ~11 am Ride is on every Saturday the market is open (year round except weekend between Christmas and New Year). We will make every effort to note weather-related closures here promptly.

Bring your cargo bikes, trailers, your crates, your bungee cords, your baskets, and your amazing muscles - Anika finally found a great home and needs to move stuff out of her storage unit into her awesome new house in Brooklyn! Storage and the house are only like 5min apart... But more than one trip might be necessary. If you are a heavyweight champion, be prepared to move some furniture. If you like a move but only have a rack, there are so many little book boxes and you are the hero they're waiting for. Then, we eat homemade tacos and drink kombucha at the housewarming party! Bless our new house with us! Maybe do a ritualistic loop around the block dinging our bells and burning incense! We'll make something up! For fun, a Springwater trail/Brooklyn exploration ride will follow, or merging with another bike ride - we'll decide what we want to get up to.

Bring a bottle or two of homebrew, and we’ll roam around, stopping a few times for tastings. Bring a small tasting glass, if you have one (I’ll bring some paper cups for folks who forget). Total ride will be around 7-8 miles, ending up back at the park.

Books, flyers, zines and art are a HUGE part of revolutionary movements. If you've been itching to make some of your own protest posters, print some zines, or find a great book about Palestine, then we've got a bike ride for you! Come along as we take a tour of pro-Palestine art/literary spaces, and go home with some cool prints and new knowledge. We'll be leaving from Laurelhurst at 4, and we recommend getting to the park an hour early so you have a chance to check out all the cool stuff happening at "Gays Eating the Rich in the Park" before we go. If you're running late for our leave time, meet us at our first stop instead. First stop: The Independent Publishing Resource Center! Come for a tour of the space, learn what things you can make here, and grab a zine or print. Second stop: Outlet! You've probably seen some gorgeous protest posters that have been printed at Outlet floating around town, so here's your chance to learn a little about risograph printing and take home a fun print. Third stop: Always Here Bookstore! Best selling author Lydia Kiesling will join us at this stop for a reading and conversation. All three places we stop at are listed on Portland to Palestine (portlandtopalestine.com), a directory of local businesses that stand against genocide and apartheid. We will ride at an easy pace with fun music, and we always make an effort to not leave anyone behind. The print materials that we send folks home with on this ride all relate to the Global Movement to Gaza flotilla, which seeks to break the siege of Gaza and bring aid to starving Palestinians. We hope you'll also join us on Sunday 9/7 for a flotilla solidarity ride and march. 🚲🛶🚣🏼⛵

The large plaza at NE 72nd and Mason has been completed with the plaza closed to cars and featuring a beautiful street mural by artist Megan Blossom. The mural covers the entire plaza and highlights native plants and species in the area. The Roseway Neighborhood Association will have food, beverages, music, and games at the grand opening. The group bike ride starts at Wilshire Park and follows the new Mason/Skidmore Neighborhood Greenway. This west-to-east greenway goes between the 20s and 70s greenways and provides a calm riding environment with safe crossings of busier streets. The greenway passes through the new plaza where the celebration is being held, and the bike ride will pause at the plaza to take part in the festivities. The 5-mile group ride is a loop heading back to Wilshire Park on a different greenway route. The return ride passes through Sacajawea Park where there is a nice view to the north that includes Mount St. Helens. Hope to see you on the ride!

We just got married! Join us for a leisurely, family friendly ride to celebrate love in all forms. Wear white and we'll bring the playlist.

On 8/31, an international flotilla launched on a mission to break the siege of Gaza. On 9/7, the boats will be approaching Gaza and it's crucial that the world is watching. So: grab a Palestinian flag and decorate your bike like a boat, then come along on a flotilla-themed ride & march to raise awareness! We'll meet at Laurelhurst Park and take a conversational-pace ride to Salmon Street Springs, listening to songs about water and liberation as we go. At Salmon Street Springs there will be a rally and march (bikes are encouraged to jump in and help cork) which will take us to a venue where we will do a livestream with crew members on the Flotilla. The Sumud Flotilla is an incredible historic undertaking to break the siege of Gaza, and we're beyond grateful for the crew members who are willing to wake up in the middle of the night (it's a 9 hour time difference) and get on a zoom call with us in Portland. This is likely the last opportunity the flotilla crew will have to talk with us before they arrive in Gaza (or are intercepted by Israel). Don't miss it! Some family-friendly crafts and performances to follow the livestream. Follow @globalsumudflotilla on IG to track the flotilla 's progress.

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. Sunset 7:36 PM, moonrise 7:41 PM.

Ride Westside

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

Join us for the second annual Yellow Bike Ride! Yellow is obviously the best color, and that's not just my opinion! 💛IT'S OBJECTIVELY TRUE💛 Yellow bikes *ONLY*, and wear something that's yellow if you can! We're gonna wander around Inner-SE to spot every yellow building and object we can. Think bird watching on wheels... but for yellow stuff. We'll have a party-pace, with 1 store stop to get yellow snacks. (You don't have to eat something yellow I guess, but if it's not yellow you may be shamed) I'll also have a can of yellow spray paint if you have a non-yellow bike and wish to join. Just kidding... ...or am I?

Bike buses have been around for decades, but they have become increasingly popular in recent years. Each bike bus will depart from their start location at a different time and arrive at Salmon Street Springs at 8:15 a.m.

Its my birthday! Never forget!!! I have started doing a fun tradition where I ride the amount of miles I am old, which is now getting to be a very long day :) But after work I would love if you could join me to help finish up some miles! We are going to ride to Honey Butter Country Fare for a corn dog for dinner (there's other food carts there too if you arent in to corn dogs... but who isnt in to corn dogs!?), then back to SE to the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church on Glisan and 31st to watch the swifts roost for the evening at sunset. Bring a blanket or towel if you can to avoid the itchy dead grass and bring whatever beverages you may want to enjoy and have some cake with me. After that we will likely go head down to the water and do a quick waterfront loop, especially if I still have miles to hit! We will ride from the circle at 5 so if you know you wont make it on time please reach out to me on instagram. We should be at the Arbor Lodge food carts a little after 530 and will spend an hour there; then we are trying to be at the church around 7. So if you just want to meet at the church and ride after that please join us there instead! If you have ever ridden on a Mellow Monday or come out on one of my rides over the last summer, I would love to see you. Bike summer may be over, but there's still some fun to be had and corn dogs to be eaten. We will follow the shift code of conduct, and if you're banned from rides anywhere else you're banned from this ride as well.

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.

Portland's Premier Unofficial Official Cargo Bike Race returns for its 4th year, and this time WE'RE TAKING OVER FRIDAY NIGHT RIDE!! CSO IV festivities will begin on Friday evening in conjunction with the regularly scheduled and critically acclaimed Friday Night Ride (aka "FNR"). Expect the usual FNR shenanigans: party-pace cruising, maybe some hill bombs, a store stop, possibly a bonfire, etc - BUT you should also expect: stops for mini-games and cargo-oriented challenges that will test you and your rig's haulability. Participate in the games or simply spectate and heckle the brave competitors! HOW THE HUNT WORKS: - Racers should arrive at Ladds Circle between 7 and 7:30pm (on Friday) to register - The hunt will be capped at 25 riders, ARRIVE ON TIME to secure your entry. - You have 24 hours to complete as many items on the list as possible. - Points will be tallied at the FINSH (on Saturday night) to determine a podium of winners - The Friday Night Ride will offer you several chances to cross items off the checklist - Bring your race manifest + cargo to the finish line (location TBD) by 8pm on Saturday SCAVENGER HUNTERS WILL NEED: - A bike capable of hauling at least a moderate load (may be as minimal as a large backpack or basket) - A camera and/or ride tracking app to prove you accomplished certain tasks - Bike lock / repair kit / first aid, as there is no first aid or mechanical support - A good attitude, a competitive spirit, and a promise not to get mad or sue me if anything goes wrong - The means to be completely self-sufficient, as THERE IS NO FIRST AID OR MECHANICAL SUPPORT NO JERKS OR WEIRDOS ALLOWED! ONLY FUN AND CARGO BIKES ! ! ! ! ! !! ! ! Follow @CSOPDX on Instagram for more updates....

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

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

Hey all! I'm moving to a new apartment about 6-7 blocks away from my current place in Slabtown where parking totally sucks and I don't want to use a truck and block traffic while I'm moving! I'm calling on anyone with solid cargo capacity to help me move my stuff that distance in exchange for treating everyone to food and drinks at Joe's Cellar nearby! I will be carrying as much as I can with my compact cargo ebike and trailer, but I may need at least a couple people with front loaders if possible. Please DM me on instagram @_nicklev to confirm you're coming so I can plan everything accordingly or if you have any questions, I think I need about 7-8 people. If you don't have instagram uhhh find someone who does lol
