Ride is a loop
We’re excited to continue the 7th annual Black Liberation Ride in 2022 - a community bike ride for Black + Brown Portlanders, hosted on Sunday, Juneteenth - aka the celebration of the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African - aka Black Independence Day! This ride is a moment to come together, take up space, and celebrate in solidarity by riding around Portland. This ride is centered around the Black / Brown community. This ride is kid-friendly, NO DROP, and open to all rider levels. BIKETOWN BIKES: If you do not have a bike, BIKETOWN (https://www.facebook.com/BIKETOWNpdx/) is offering a free ride promotion with code BLR22.
