Ride is a loop
Let’s kick off this year’s Pedapalooza and Pride month with a fun, easy-going ride, hosted by Portland All Wheels Welcome (PAWW) and Ride Safe PDX! This ride is welcome to all skill levels and all kinds of wheels. Show us your pride and your favorite “I’m here and I’m queer,” outfit as we ride around to a playlist of pop hits by LGBTQIA+ artists. PLEASE NOTE: Masks are required and we’ll have some available to hand out for the ride, but please bring your own if you can! This ride is a loop. Difficulty is easy: mostly smooth roads with few unavoidable crunchy spots. There are slight uphill and downhill segments, but the route is mostly flat. If you’re skating on this ride, you should be comfortable with using your toe stops or otherwise controlling your speed. Starting at 6pm, we’ll meet near the skate ramp at Laurelhurst Park off of SE Oak St. As we gather, feel free to skate the ramp or try out the nearby pump track and bike obstacles. At 7pm, we’ll set out on our ride! Ride Safe PDX rides are always no-drop and will attempt to help riders with mechanical issues. The first Thursday of each month will be masks-required. 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. Always ask for consent before touching another person or their belongings. If you experience or witness an issue, please alert a ride leader. Banned riders are banned here.
