5:30pm, Scattered daysDo you know how to ride but are concerned about safety on the road, how to best shift those many gears, or afraid you'll get a flat tire?

- PLANNING THE MULTNOMAH COUNTY BIKE FAIR
-
6:00pm - 7:30pmLegend has it that a family-friendly "bike-gasm" marked the end of Pedalpalooza with a catastrophic, lively, and musical celebration of the subculture around bicycles. Last couple of years, this tradition appeared to have been lost. But it did NOT die. Now, you can rise to the occasion and help bring back Multnomah County Bike Fair (MCBF)!
With your help, there will be smiles, beers, mayhem, crafts, competitions, and bruises all in one bike event!

- WRENCH ON BIKES FOR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS
- Learning Garden's Lab Greenhouse #4, 6745 SE 60th Ave10:00am - 2:00pm (Walk to the rear of the greenhouses, we are near the bike racks.)Each year The Street Trust brings bikes to hundreds of 4th and 5th grade classrooms and teach thousands of students how to bike safely on the streets. Needless to say the kids do a pretty good job of riding safely and doing some damage to the bikes. The bikes need routine maintenance every month to keep the parts working smoothly. So if youve got mechanic skills come join us for some greasy fun.
Not an experienced mechanic? No problem! If you can inflate tires and wash bikes we need you too! Don't want to touch a bike at all? Have no fear! You can help me inspect and sort helmets and inventory parts!
There will be coffee and pastries!

We'll ride from the Alberta Park playground to Fernhill park on neighborhood greenways. The ride is a 3 and a half mile loop, with a break at the Fernhill Park playground in the middle, so its suitable for all but the youngest riders.We ride slow enough for little pedalers. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to ride in a straight line, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great too. We'll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too! Come ride with us!
