. 🚲 🚲 🚲 .. 👀 … 🎨 🖌️ …. 🐦⬛ …….Let’s go have a WHEELy ARTfully CROWtastic time! If you’re not sure what CROW ART we're talking about, check out social media posts searching for "Wildwood follow the crows pdx". The creativeness is mind-blowing and BikeLoud advocates want to help you get to it more SAFELY! Our friendly “Know Your Greenways” planner, Tom Howe, who also did the routes to the Caroline Cats, each annual Winter Light Festival, and many other fun rides has created a 9-mile safe route for us to 25 of the *30 sites. The route is divided into two parts of about a dozen crows each. So you can do the first or second half now, and the other part when the ride repeats in a few weeks. *For routes to the other 5 crows outside of the downtown area, search the Ride With GPS website or app for “Follow The Crows”. ———> OVERVIEW This ride is FREE, and ALL WHEELS WELCOME (except fuel-powered, of course). While this event is FAMILY-FRIENDLY and we’ll ride at an EASY-PACE, we recommend that younger children ride comfortably and safely on their parent’s bike during the parts we share the road with cars in downtown and Pearl areas. We thank everyone in advance for doing their part to make the space comfortable and INCLUSIVE for all, but please: + using solid-light etiquette + keeping smoking or drinking alcohol out of sight, away from the immediate area + playing MELLOW MUSIC AT LOW VOLUMES ONLY (for consideration of different tolerance levels and kiddos having developing eardrums) 💕 ———> RIDE DETAILS Meetup at 2:30pm at the crow on the upper level of Pioneer Courthouse Square. Part 1 of the ride will arrive at around 2:45pm, and both parts will depart at 3:00pm to visit the dozen crows remaining. Restrooms and a water refill station can be found during our visit to the Crow display at Pioneer Square. The last Crow display we see will be at Lan Su Chinese Gardens at NW 2nd & Everett. Feel free to stay in the area to visit local businesses and eateries, or you’re welcome to ride back to OMSI with the ride leaders. ———> RIDE QUESTIONS Use Instagram to message; Tom Howe @nagitpo or Lady Max @flattirecreations ———> CAN’T MAKE THE DATE? We’ll repeat it at 1pm on Sunday 10/25, after the movie gets released but before the Crows are taken away on the 30th to be auctioned off, raising funds to benefit Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. ———> ABOUT BIKELOUD PDX BikeLoud PDX promotes bicycle transportation in Portland by empowering riders and creating safer streets for people through advocacy and activism.
