We'll finish the ride at Broadway Grill & Brewery for an opportunity to hang out and support a small business by joining this event: https://www.ecolloyd.org/events/nebba-small-business/. Note: This ride was originally planned to end at Lloyd Live at the Dock, but since the event was cancelled due to the algal bloom in the Willamette, we're pivoting.

As children watch patiently out the window for the chance to ride a bike to school or the park, and the state transportation funding plan struggles to join the 21st century, PBOT continues building streets for cars, sometimes with a block or two of bike lane for a treat. Bikeway designs from 20 years ago are being cast in concrete as the anticlimax of 30 years of advocacy, to the tune of $26M/mile... and about one mile per decade. We'll look at the terrain between Multnomah, Burlingame, Hillsdale, and a few other neighborhoods, why Barbur Blvd is such a state-highway-dept-neglected disaster, some recently-completed obsolete bike infrastructure, and the secret trails and side streets we use to sneak through the gaps between the car sewers. This casual group ride will be an easy pace with several stops to discuss and observe the transportation infrastructure and missing links of southwest bikeways along the SW corridor.

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. ✨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!

The link at the bottom takes you too a video Jack Coleman (videographer) made from the last Opera ride. First: Do you need to like Opera? Not at all. If you’re open to music transforming the way a ride feels and how our city looks you’re in for a treat. What can you expect? Well, Opera. A carefully curated playlist. Moments of high drama and thrilling exaltation. Periods of such serenity as voices and music cascade around the city canyons consuming us in beauty and infrequently heard tones. The first time we held this ride (Amy ‘joy’ and Moorland) had no idea how profound a beautiful experience it would be or the depth of that beauty. Also, the playlist is interspersed with dialogue from the movie Casablanca just to give an underlying tonal theme. Route: We’re going to be rolling through city canyons so the acoustics reverberate. There will be a store stop for refreshments and while there the music will change to Rock Operas. The pace will be social and slow. Rebellion and punk shows in many forms, ask around about this insane ride and the previous years mischief! We troll hard!!! CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!! Safety: As with all our rides, we practice consent and we practice non violence. You’re invited to come as you are and be who you are.

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.

The KLF are the Banksys (before Banksy was a thing) of the music world. In 1991 they were the biggest-selling singles act on the planet. They created The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way). They collaborated with the first lady of country Tammy Wynette. They deleted their back catalogue. On one August 23rd, at the height of their success in 1990s Britain, they went to Jura, Scotland, and set fire to a million pounds. The band's 1990 ambient album Chill Out (released by Wax Trax in the US) is one of the most beautiful and etheric pieces of music in existence, recorded in a continuous 44:43 minute live take. Taking the form of a road trip through the USA, soundscapes paint landscapes of rolling trains and fields, sunrises and sunsets, hopes raised, dreams dashed and wishes yet to be fulfilled. A soundtrack for the soul's movie, it's dotted with birds whistling, sheep bleating and a touch of Tuvan throat singing. Flashes of news reports, commercials and preachers also feature. Samples used are from Elvis, Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen and Acker Bilk. We'll ride our bikes beside the train tracks, through industrial areas, by drive-thrus and gas stations and ice cream shops, past street art, under trees and along the river as we listen to this spirited slice of aural heaven. Ride time is 44 minutes 43 seconds. Stay on at our final stop for KLF jams and creativity. More ride and route info to come, but we'll be justified and ancient as we roam the (Port)land all bound for Mu Mu land. At the start we'll have info about and messages from The KLF regarding this ride and route. Who knows, they make take over leading it in a manner as they deem fit. Suggestions for the ride: - Dress as a sheep to mimic the Chill Out album's bucolic cover. - Turn your bike into an ice cream van. - Wear a Queen of the South FC shirt or a smiley face or some KLF 2323 World Tour merch. - Decorate your bike with daffodils. - Bring along a copy of How to Be an Artist by William Ernest Drummond. - Bring along a Jimmy Cauty Lord of The Rings poster. - Bake a cake for someone on the ride with a note attached: "I have baked you a cake, here it is." After the ride is done we'll play more of The KLF's jams, and for anyone who wants to: - We'll record you speaking one sentence about the emotions and evocations that emerged within you while listening and riding along to Chill Out. We'll gift this as an audio file to Bill Drummond (along with a red, blue, yellow, black or white knitted square containing one thousand stitches (40 rows of 25 stitches)), and Jimmy Cauty. - Show us an item of your own that embodies 'what art is' to you. We'll photograph these and gift the composite image to Bill Drummond (along with a red, blue, yellow, black or white knitted square containing one thousand stitches (40 rows of 25 stitches)), and Jimmy Cauty. - Bring your own art supplies so we can all create something inspired by Chill Out at the end of the ride. We'll compile these into a book and gift it to Bill Drummond (along with a red, blue, yellow, black or white knitted square containing one thousand stitches (40 rows of 25 stitches)), and Jimmy Cauty. America: What Time Is Love? It's when this ride takes place.

This is the DRUM&BASS ride you have been waiting for all season. We have just confirmed REID SPEED and her partner, ROSSON to headline the after party! More details to come! Reid Speed is recognized worldwide as a highly skilled drum & bass DJ as well as a pioneer of the multi-genre bass music movement. From her start at legendary NYC drum & bass store/label Breakbeat Science to founding her own labels Play Me Records and Play Me Too, she has remained a fan favorite DJ, a chart topping producer, and was seen as an instrumental player in the development of the North American Bass Music sound. She’s known for dropping blistering multi-genre sets that have inspired a generation of female DJs. With her keen ear, Play Me has become a launchpad for more hot new artists than any other label of its kind, helping to kickstart the careers of the likes of Dillon Francis, Must Die, Figure, Bare, Singularity, Cyberoptics, and many more. Reid is one of the few old skool DJs who opened the door for women and who continues to set the standard high for female DJs in EDM.

Summer's Sunset is the theme so wear your reds, yellows, oranges, purples, pinks, anything flowy and colorful work. Gameplan is the same as Act I (6/13) and Act II (7/19) as we enjoy the tail end of this fiery season. If you do complete the trifecta and attend all 3, let me know and I will make sure you get a prize that is TBD. Schedule tbd but we will meet at a park around 8/8:30. Ride leaves at 9. 3 DJ Sets, ending around 1.

(I said I'd put some later bike rides on the calendar so here we go.) Night time is the right time for bike rides. Portland shuts down at 9 pm and the streets are basically empty at 10 pm. Why? I have no idea. But this makes night time rides more fun because we can basically take over the streets. Join me as I bike around at night. The route is just over 15 miles and aside from the pavement, it will also involve some dirt and off pavement, so please be prepared for that. Also, it's probably gonna be a little quicker than the usual "Pedalpalooza pace"(TM) so if you're into this kind of thing, come out and have some fun! This is a no drop ride. There's potential for a couple store stops along the way if people want it, but it just depends on what people need. I'm fine with skipping it entirely haha Due to special request, we're gonna end at a junky pizza spot. I found Pizzaslut online. I don't really know any other places but it's open till 3 am and it looks pretty bad. So it sounds perfect lol Meet up at 10 pm in the area next to the opera building near Tilikum. Roll out around 10:30. You'll need lights...

Join us for our 3rd Annual Climate Resilience & Adaptation Ride. Scheduled for the end of the summer, we promise to ride - heat, rain, or wildfire smoke be damned. As we have done in previous years, we will meet at the Salmon Street Fountain and have a few stops: we will discuss common climate calamities and how to be prepared, including what emergency essentials to keep in your home or in your Go Bag. We'll also explain Portland's unique community emergency response program (Portland NET); and how getting to know your neighbors might be the most important thing you can do to build your own resilience. And we will stop for ice cream :) Link to the ride route is below.

This city staff-led ride will explore Portland’s Johnson Creek. Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) has been working for more than 25 years to reduce flooding and improve habitat and recreation opportunities along Johnson Creek. Their latest effort--the Springwater Wetlands and Floodplain Restoration Project--is a prime example of this. In additional to restoring 30 acres of wetlands and habitat in the Johnson Creek floodplain, BES and the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) partnered to build a bicycle and pedestrian path that connects the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood to the Springwater Corridor Trail near SE 115th Ave. This ride will cruise down the Springwater Corridor to take a “ribbon-cutting” ride on the new path. We’ll view a few other truly impressive water management projects on the way, hear briefly from knowledgeable speakers and then end at the Cartlandia food cart pod for talk, food and drink. This will be a fun, picturesque and informative ride showcasing the benefits of city bureaus working together to create great projects that serve Portlanders.

Join us for games and silliness! Summer may be coming to a close, but you know what that means, it's time for field day!! Hop on your bike, throw on your tie-dye shirt, and limber up for sack racing. Grab your favorite three-legged race buddy, and come on down. We'll be playing games on games and throwing it back to the days of our youth. We'll meet at Clinton Park in southeast and make our way north. Expect a couple of park stops, a store stop, and a silly, fun no-drop ride. (route distance roughly 6-7 miles with some nonsense thrown in for good measure) Possible swim spot at the end! We suggest bringing some snacks, your shoes for running and playing, and water in addition to alcohol. We'll see you there! Meet at Clinton park by the bathrooms just past the playground!

wear an inflatable costume and ride a bicycle. It's much easier if your costume doesn't cover your face. but I might rock a T-Rex so don't ride so close to me. plan ahead, super easy to find costumes online. :) this will be one of your best summer memories for sure! We will ride to Grilled by Bike to eat their lunch, then ride to Irving Park for Kidical Mass and Ice Cream on Mississippi !! Were you at Pioneer Courthouse Square on Friday June 24, 2022 wearing an inflatableT-Rex costume setting a world record? https://www.instagram.com/p/CfRwcZcJdcg/ Still have your costume & notice how forlorn it is just sitting there? Have you ever wondered if it is possible to ride a bicycle in an inflatable costume? I have. And then I googled it. Much to my surprise, there are some people out there that have already ridden a bike in their inflatable T-Rex costume... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOumG6HS-rY So, are you gonna live the entire summer without showing people how truly awesome, fun, and perhaps foolish, you are? Right!! I didn't think so. Have you still not ridden across the Blumenauer Bridge?? If you have, now you can do it in costume ! if you know Chris Guillebeau, would you please let him know he inspired me ! Need a costume? I bought my inflatable costume on Ebay for $44 bucks from someone in San Francisco, so it got to PDX in just 3 days so you have time to order yours! maybe get yours on ebay or some other online place. there are so many to choose from !! search online for "inflatable costume" and be amazed !. Please also email if you have questions. Bring Your Own Tape if you fear your rear wheel will eat your tail. ride at your own risk! but we will be riding at Parade Pace!

Come on this family friendly ride where we will do our best to bike to each of the Multnomah County Library locations South of the Hawthorne Bridge. We will NOT cross the river, only going to east-side locations! If you have books to turn in/pick up on hold, we will wait for you. Or if you just want to come learn where all the locations are, even better!

In our second year of Poetry Post Pedaling, we'll visit and read from poems posted in Concordia, Irvington, Alameda, Grant Park, Sullivan's Gulch, Rose City Park, North Tabor, and Laurelhurst. If you know of (or are the host of!) a poetry post in one of these neighborhoods, reach out and we'll see if we can include it in the route. We end with a park picnic and more poems. We will be very near stores during two of our stops, including Realm Refillery. 9 of 11 poetry posts will be within the first 5.5 miles, so if you'd like a shorter route, there will be an opportunity to peel off at that point and stay in NE. The second to last stop near Stark on SE 52nd is extra special though! This reschedule from 8/10's heat opens the opportunity for a R2W: Ride to Write to join up with Read, Write, & Ride's writing and sharing time at Mt. Tabor.

This ride is free, but bring money to get ice cream. We will ride at a slow pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to balance and pedal in a straight line, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal.

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.

Don't draw a bike, bike a drawing! Using state of the art technology, each rider will draw a colored line on a collaborative sketch just by riding around. It's magic, like Etch A Sketch, but the drawing dials are the wheels of your bike. How will the canvas affect our creativity? What are the limits and opportunities of this advanced new art medium? Bring a smartphone. A method to mount your phone to your bike will allow you to see the sketch in progress hands-free, which is more interactive, but not absolutely necessary. Tech notes: Bike-A-Sketch is a web-app that runs in the Safari or Chrome browser, and needs access to your location. - On iPhone: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Safari Websites and choose While Using the App and enable Precise Location. - On Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Chrome > Permissions > Location > and choose Always. Now when you load Bike-A-Sketch it should ask for access to your location. Choose Allow. During sketch sessions, try to keep Bike-A-Sketch in the foreground and your phone unlocked for smooth lines.

I mustache you a question: Would you like another mustache ride? Well we're gonna have one on Monday the 25th of August. This will be a 6 ish mile ride in SE PDX ending at a sloped grassy field near Mt Tabor. There will be one store stop at the Safeway on Hawthrone. This is a no-drop party-pace ride (10ish to 12ish mph). We will have treats that are hard to eat if you have a mustache! Feel free to bring your own to share. If you were there last year, this should be a pretty familiar experience. This ride is for both mustache havers and mustache appreciators. Everyone is welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of mustache, but we will have stick-ons for the willing.

3rd Annual attempt to eat as many tacos in the Portland area as possible in a day! Self organize to decide where to roll and what spots to hit... It lasts ALL DAY Tuesday August 26th. NO SPECIFIC MEET-UP, ROUTE or END LOCATION. The ride is up to you! We love tacos. Portland has HUNDREDS of taco shops. That makes THOUSANDS of tacos available in locations liberally distributed throughout all 6 quadrants of our city EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! Roll up and celebrate glorious tacos and appreciate taco makers. Reign of Taco Ride encourages supporting local and family owned businesses and hopes you'll take this opportunity to try unfamiliar/new and non-franchised spots. Log the progress of your delicious adventure! https://tacoapp.verynice.party/ → offers the ability to track your progress, and adds a competitive edge for taco teams: Points are awarded for each spot, bonus for being the 1st party there and/or for eating all the tacos on the menu. Steps: 1. Log in to register your self/team 2. Use interactive map as a guide to find spots 3. Ride yer bike* 4. Log places you visit (marked by a team-colored flag) Include: -bike-ability and taco ratings, - descriptions, -photos! *or other self-propelled instrument of transportation, cause we’re tryna work up an appetite here! The application will be updated (Spots reviewed, and 2024 reviews/flags archived or removed) prior to the 2025 event... Organized chaos is the only way to eat this incredible array of fantastic food. We need whole squadrons of self-propelled taco lovers to realize this collective a'chomp'lishment! All the links can be found at: https://linktr.ee/reign_of_taco_ride We wish you many tasty moments and maximum taco satisfaction and hope you saved your Pedalpalooza Appetites! The Reign of Taco Ride is the brain child of Joshua Force. Before departing on a leg of a lifetime bike tour (current location Chile!), and in response to local, non-ethnic food events (Pizza Week etc.) he wondered: how could you A’chomp’lish all the tacos in PDX in a day?!? The uncanny idea flabbergasted Karl Freitag but we thought to loop in Adam Novotny to help us with this puzzling concept! He became our web-wizard: assembling a comprehensive list of locations and developing our, tried-and-tested, online team-oriented interactive map app! Karl launched a Discord server for communication between taco riders and to send us feedback. In our first year we collectively visited about half of the spots in the metropolitan area. Thanks to all the ‘23 and ‘24 riders!

Do you love CAKE (the band)? Do you love cake (the food)? Then you will love this ride madly. Roll along in your short skirt and long jacket while listening to the sweet, sweet tunes of Sacramento’s best export. We will go the distance, listening to CAKE’s entire studio album catalog, front to back. There will be a vibraslap! We will give away a tree! Ditch the stickshifts and safety belts, the long line of cars, and the unbearable carbon monoxide as you embrace your rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and keep your wheels spinning round. There will also be a cake break! Bring a cake (or cake-adjacent food) to share at the park stop or at the ride finish to prolong the magic. BYO trumpet. We’ll roll at a casual pace with re-groups so everyone can stick together for a ~14-mile ride. Park stop halfway through at Lincoln City Park (SE 135th and Mill). There’s one hill of size and a few short gravel bits. Come at 6pm if you want to tune in to 1994’s Motorcade of Generosity. Bring lights for your bike since it will get dark about halfway through. We will have two trailers, one towing a giant sound system and the other towing a giant papier-mâché cake which will hold actual cake inside it. Please reach out if you can help with corking.

FKA Twosday Road Rascals but a slightly different approach. Taking back 2sDay is here and we’re closing out Bike Summer with a ride every week! We continue the tradition that started at the picnic tables at Irving park years ago. The torch has been passed and we’re back! We’ll be focusing different end spots plus we’ll have new ride leads popping up thru summer so if you want to lead just ask! Tallbike paced with regroups and a real no drop mentality. Meets at the picnic tables by the tennis courts or under the covered area if it rains. Meet around 7 for a 7:45 roll out! If you’re banned from other rides don’t come on this one. Pretty simple. Don’t be rude to others on the ride and traffic or pedestrians, respect people’s space consent and possessions. We strive to make this a safe place for all and welcoming to everyone 🖤🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊🏽

Bridge City Skate is a local skate group that hosts weekly community rollouts around Portland. While the event is led by skaters, all wheels are welcome as long as everyone follows our basic community guidelines: be respectful, inclusive, and kind. No discrimination of any sort. Do you dream of being both fashion-forward and dangerously off-key? Do you crave the thrill of skating under the stars in a top that’s 30% fabric, 70% attitude? Then step right up, because Bridge City Skate is serving vocals and vibes at our most unhinged theme skate yet. Bring your most chaotic crop-top creation—shredded, bedazzled, duct-taped—whatever screams hot mess express. Whether you're belting ballads, screaming punk, or just skating by while someone else sings Nickelback with full sincerity, this night is for you. Crop tops encouraged. Singing optional. Screaming inevitable. - Meet-Up: Tuesday August 26th at 7:00 PM - Location: South Meade St. & South Bond Ave. - Roll Out: 7:30 PM sharp — as sharp as your midriff tan line. The route includes the Tilikum Crossing and the docks on the east side. Both areas have handrails to help go down, but the ability to navigate hills is highly recommended. If you have no city skate experience we recommend you start with BCS's Sunday Flatground Skate instead.

This band has been my personal go to band during the happiest times and darkest times of my life. Their absurdity and pathos and deep, deep musical humor has shaped me as a person. Some people know this band for their Rock n Roll, their kids music, their TV themes, their Polka, their featuring in a mass of movies…..if you’re not familiar you can expect a journey of fun and understanding of that human condition. This is an exceptionally family and sensitive person friendly ride….in their decades of music and 20 or so albums there isn’t a single curse word or female derogatory term. At this point NakedHearts has lead around 350-400+ rides and been involved in supporting at least 100 others, that’s to say you’d think we’d be ok with being vulnerable but this band who I love hardly ever shows up on any playlist because it’s too personal, too close to my own heart and I’ve been too shy. But given the realization of how small I’ve made myself due to ongoing harassment I’ve decided to rip the band aid off. Haters are gonna hate. We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides. If you’re banned on other rides or from listing a ride you’re banned here too. If you can’t respect others body autonomy please don’t attend.

Join other bike-minded folks for drinks, food and community every Wednesday from 3-6 (or so). Bike Happy Hour is a place where everyone is welcomed and embraced by our community. Just show up and hang out. That's it! Follow @bikeportland on socials for updates and info about special themed nights or special guest appearances. All ages are welcome. We often have little kiddos running around. We've got coloring books and crayons, and feel free to bring your own activities: puzzles, crafts, games, or whatever. 3:00 pm - Quiet(er) hours. If you don't like crowds or want to talk to me (Jonathan) one-on-one, this is a great time to show up. 4:00 pm - Free Fries! (Please help BikePortland sustain this cherished tradition by sponsoring the fries via this link. https://bikeportland.org/contribute) 5:30 pm - Open Mic. Special guest speeches and announcements. Everyone is welcome to share. No invitation needed. 6:00 pm - Folks start to leave, but you're welcome to stay later.

At this point it’s pretty much official that the wonderful Benno Boy has ridden his last ride. Last Saturday the 28th of June Benno Boy hit the Godzilla,King Kong and Gigantor of Potholes at SE 39th and Stark on the way to @biteonbelmont. After 22755 Miles and 8 wonderful years of Riding all over Portland Oregon, nearly 1000+ Group Bike Rides and probably around 300-400 Ride Leads during Pedalpalooza and Afterpalooza plus probably 2000 rides to Portlands Food Carts his frame gave up the ghost. I’m very sad to say Goodbye to my trusty steed as he had become a huge part of who I am. There will be a memorial ride to say goodbye and to welcome his successor on Wednesday August 13th (Mini Version) and Saturday August 23rd (Full Version) Thank you to all the incredible bike mechanics for keeping him running since he was purchased from The eBike Store May 4th 2017 you are heroes of the highest order. FYI - many of Benno Boys parts will live on in his successor. Thank you #bennoboy you will be missed. Benno Boys official last Bike Summer Ride Lead was the #BonbRelay on Friday June 27th. FYI - what does this ride include? If you know me my rides are equal parts of the following: Getting Lost (Get Lost Rides) Cool Streets (Streets that are not straight) Coolness or Hidden Portland Rides (Lots of Murals, Artwork, Colored Houses and fun found things) Light Brigade (Fun lit up rides) And Finally Foodie and Family Friendly Rides The Mini Memorial Ride will be a condensed (Mini) version of the larger ride on the 23rd staying in the inner city and wrapping up at the Duckworth Dock for a swim in the Willamette Please bring any photos and stories about Benno Boy

Come join for us for a fun evening of Music & Exercise and ride through some of Portland's favorite Neighborhoods with 80's artists: Madonna, INXS, Micheal Jackson, Prince, New Order, B-52's, DEVO, Culture Club . . .

Music about fighting the system, Standing up for those around you, Pushing back on the ideas of conformity and passive acceptance. Attacking the corporate system and capitalism running out of control. NMA has gone through a maturing as they started in the early 80’s and their style and music has developed a lot over the decades. From driving drums, riffs and bass and all out ‘F$&@ this system’ punk yelling too more rounded vocals, lyrics and mature music that still clearly says, ‘F$&@ this system’. This band has meant the world to me personally and has a profound influence on my political and personal views. They speak directly to the experience of growing up in the post industrial depressed region of the North of England. They constantly talk of the beauty and mysticism of the Moors and the windswept hills in comparison to the valleys where factories and mills reduce people too nothing but cogs in a machine that doesn’t value them. They draw the gaze too fighter jets practicing low level bombing in the Lake District and its incongruousness to the beauty of the region, they speak of run a ways escaping dire home life and tattooing themselves to fit in, the plight of immigrants, the giving of oneself sexually just to feel at least for some time a sense of being loved, the lost of friends to illness and addiction, the prevailing mental health impacts on a society forced to conform too working endlessly only too afford nothing but a pissed up weekend a moldy flat and little hope in anything but to keep your head down and don’t rock the boat… I love this band. This ride is a continuation of the effort to cast of the ‘being small’ feeling that harassment has caused me personally and in wanting to limit my self expression and joy so as not to be targeted more, but eff that. We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides. This ride has raucous music but being aggressive towards others on the ride with riding style or drivers is totally unfitting the spirit of this band and you will be asked to moderate your behavior or leave.

Do you see the old metal rings embedded in many curbs around town? They are for tying down your horse. So we will be riding bikes and attaching our (toy) horses (and some other toys too!) Ride will be biking down side streets that have many horse rings. So we will have many stops in the road to attach toys and take photos. Ride will not have a park stop, or a store stop, and will move slowly. Ride starts at Hail Snail and will end at the Salmon Street Fountain by 7:45pm, in time for Thursday Night Ride. Please contact ride leader if you are running late. Please don't ride horses.

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. ✨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!

Howdy y'all, First time leading! We'll hold space at the end spot for anyone who wants to share their words. A speech, quote, poem, lyric, story, etc. from the heart or by another author, performer or loved one. (Time limit for presenters if we have a large group) Ride is from Peninsula Park to Overlook Park or just meet us at the end spot around 7:45. No hate speech. Support your presenters please! We'll try to wrap up no later than 9 pm. Idk about you but I'm bringing a snack and a drink

Join this ride and settle the age-old question: Metallica or Megadeth? THEME: Metallica vs. Megadeth! Expect an alternating playlist spanning the careers of both bands. ROUTE: Route will be about 10-12 miles with a store stop, taking roughly 2 hours in total. While the route won’t be posted beforehand, feel free to ask the ride leader about specifics at stops if you have questions. --------- This ride aims to be a safer space. We take the Shift2Bikes Code of Conduct seriously - alert a ride leader if you feel uncomfortable for any reason (racism, transphobia, sexism, people inappropriately touching you or making inappropriate remarks). Banned riders are banned here.

Motörhead. What can you expect? Theme: The legendary Motörhead vs all other Rock. Playlist will have LedZepplin and punk pre-cursors to Motörhead and also the legions of bands inspired by Motörhead like Metallica and Slayer. Is Motörhead the best hard rock band ever? Absolutely not but there is something about their attitude and music that is amazing. Anti-Authority, encouraging self realization, fierce anti religion and anti nationalism and all at a tempo that makes techno seem sedate….and an intensity that grips the heart and pumps the adrenals. Lemmy is one of the most loved musicians ever. Route, will adjust depending on weather but there will be a store stop and the route will be a loop. Just because the music is rock doesn’t mean bad behavior is acceptable. Mosh pit rules apply. Get your freak on but don’t mess with others and the stronger amongst us protect those who need it. Banned riders are banned here.

For over 20 years, Breakfast on the Bridges has been offering up free coffee and goodies to people biking, walking, scooting and boarding across Portland's bridges. Generally the last Friday of every month, look for our special events during Pedalpalooza and December!

This is the ride for everyone who loves stickers. We'll meet at Irving Park near the top of the hill in the grass. Bring your bike, your friends, and your stickers. The ride will make a stop at PDXchange and will then continue across East Portland to look at sticker spots and other art. We will end at Ladd's Circle in time to join FNR.

Les Clown Hyper de PDX present the first annual "Karen Hates Us" Pedalpalooza ride. Join us for a 2-hour hyper speed ride around the Willamette, Central Eastside, and Lloyd Center. Music featured will be fast, unpredictable, potentially annoying, and will most definitely, unequivocally piss off the Karens. For example: https://youtu.be/t7tbkIH9W1U?si=d1NwGItzWBpG1N2U Bring a UE Boom speaker and join the sound system. Bring a megaphone if you need to yap or yell or anything. Feel free to costume as your favorite speedy clown 🤡.

Since I don't see one posted (I might have just missed that connection myself) I am posting this ride this year. Did you meet someone awesome at Loud n Lit but couldn't really hear them for their number? Were you too shy on the naked ride to ask that cutie for their digits? Did you dance the night away at contra but miss a dance with that one person? Or like your ride leader get wrapped up in a conversation and then bail on the ride bc it's getting late but forget about contact info for your new friend until you're halfway home? Note, this isn't specifically a singles looking for love ride (those exist and you should go to them if that describes you) this is for all missed connections. To accompany the theme we will visit several transit stations and sigh heavily when the train/bus has just left. We will (hopefully) not miss the connection to the Queen and Bowie ride, while the plan is not to merge with this ride the route will take us past their gathering location hopefully just as they begin to gather, so mayhaps you could make 2 connections in 1 night...

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

Our fith year hosting this glamorous event. Ride merges welcomed. Costumes? Oh Yes.

The first and only annual Eurodance-party and closing Pedalpalooza celebration ride! The best and silliest genre of music ever created erupted from Europe in the late 80s and early 90s and took over every corner of the world. This will be a celebration of that pinnacle of human musical creation and riding bikes with your friends. Featuring artists such as Snap!, La Bouche, Vengaboys, Aqua, Cascada, Ace of Base, and MORE. Dress in your raddest party attire, 90’s futurism, or whatever brings you joy. Party pace, all wheels welcome, ~8 miles, probably store stop, and at least one midway dance party. I have one small sound trailer so all others feel free to join! Ride will not be a loop More details coming soon! Seeking DJ’s with a love for the genre for end spot! The Shift code of conduct applies here! https://www.shift2bikes.org/pages/shift-code-of-conduct/ +If it’s not a heck yes it’s a heck no! +If you are banned from other rides you are banned from this one too! +Leave no trace! +Don’t be a jerk! “And so my fellow Americans: ask not what The Vengabus can do for you — ask what you can do for The Vengabus!” ~ JFK
