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.

Ride bikes to bars named “inn,” or which are in inns, by way of in-between spaces, on a day in between the two major winter holidays. Approximately 13 miles, not a loop. The ride is free, but bring money for drinks and food. If you want to join at a mid-route stop, please contact me to coordinate. Stops at: * Reel M Inn * Pizza Schmizza (Downtown Value Inn) * Goose Hollow Inn Route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49246822 If you want food at Reel M Inn, arrive early! (Whatever you're thinking, probably make it an hour earlier 😅) If you also want to attend the "Holidays on Franklin St" ride in the evening, we should be finished with enough time to make it. There will be good opportunities to peel off and ride/take the MAX there. Plan to ride in moderate weather; in the event of particularly crummy weather I may reschedule or cancel. Check this post for updates.

'tis the season when lots of folks buy lots of shit and support lots of billionaires. Well, if you wanna buck the status quo and still partake of the gift giving part of the season, I recommend this market. Dubbed as "a winter market for ppl who hate capitalism but love bikes" this market is a warm hug to our local craftspeople and middle finger to the likes of Jeff Bozo. Even more importantly, our support will benefit people in Palestine, Sudan and the Congo who are suffering unspeakable horrors at the hands of colonialist overlords throughout the world. Let's ride together to support our community in Portland and our human family around the globe! General route: Gather at Ladd's Circle (by Floyd's) -- ride north via Blumenauer Bridge -- make a second stop at Irving Park (under the covered basketball courts) -- ride up to Going and then east to Alder Commons for the market. #FreePalestine #PDXMarketRides

Franklin Street is Vancouver's version of Peacock Lane where all of the houses have holiday decorations, this year with over 200,000 lights. There is also live entertainment, and on the evening of this bike ride there will be live snowfall thanks to snow-generating machines. The ride meets at the Expo Center MAX station, which is the final stop on the MAX Yellow Line. A dedicated bike path starts at that station and goes all the way to Vancouver over the I-5 bridge. In downtown Vancouver we ride along Columbia Street, which was recently enhanced to make it very bike friendly. The street has buffered bike lanes with green bike boxes at each intersection. The buffer zone contains ZICLA-style lane separators, which are rubber-like curbs several feet long and several inches high. These in effect create a continuous curb with openings between the ZICLAS to allow exiting the bike lane when needed. Columbia Street has the most extensive use of ZICLA separators of any bikeway in the area. Franklin Street is only a couple blocks from Columbia Street, and other homes in the area have gotten into the act, so will see some highly-decorated houses on the way to Franklin. Total round trip distance for the ride from and back to the Expo Center MAX station is about 10 miles. This is a BikeLoud-affiliated event giving Portland residents an opportunity to see how Vancouver handles bike infrastructure on the city's premiere bikeway. Hope to see you on the ride!

Christmas Ship Viewing at Winter Solstice Event in Milwaukie

Come on a daylight ride to see holiday decorations in the Alameda area. This will include the Chris Willis display of 400 molded Santa figurines that moves to a new Portland location every year. This ride takes place in daylight, as not everyone is comfortable riding after dark. The ride goes out as far as the Rose City Golf Course, where the Bar & Grill makes for a great mid-ride stop before looping back to Irving Park. The Bar & Grill makes fantastic fries, and we are providing them free to everyone on the ride. The route to the golf course is 4.5 miles, and total ride distance for the loop is 9.4 miles. This is a BikeLoud PDX affiliated ride so we'll go by some recently-installed bike infrastructure. This includes the improved crossing at NE 57th, the northern end of the 70s Greenway, and the crossing of the NE Hancock Greenway across Sandy Blvd. Hope to see you on the ride!
