Bike Happy Hour

I have successfully reserved a 3 minute time slot during the "public comment" at City Hall sept 17th at 6pm. I will be pitching a city ordinance to make idling personal automobiles for longer than 5 minutes a ticketable offense (a non-moving violation in the same class as a parking ticket). Why do you care? Because you breathe in air. And a lot of air. Also because the rumble of idling cars is loud, and because the car idling population could spend thier money in other ways that could benefit the local economy (instead of burning it up out the tailpipe...) This ride is for discussion and to try to create momentum around the proposed city ordinance and to promote awareness of this proposed ordinance, generate a discussion around the idea, and get some good old fashioned excersize on the way home from work. No, you will not have a time slot to speak at the city hall, unless you happened to have signed up months ago, but you will have the chance to support me in my endevor by this bike ride. The ride will have to be very punctual. We'll have to meet at about 5:05 and leave at 5:25, also we'll have to have a decent (fast-ish) pace to the ride. You get bonus points if you wear a tie. Extra bonus points if you wear a suit and tie. Dress apparel for the win!!

When I asked Lady Max what she wanted for her birthday… Keep it simple, Invite our friends, Ride bikes together, Appreciate the small moments, Stop to smell the roses, Eat ice cream, …and never regret what makes us smile. Right after Bike Happy Hour, join me to celebrate Lady Max on her birthday! We roll out around 6:15ish for a short 2.5 mile no-loop route to Fifty Licks Ice Cream on SE Clinton, with a few brief stops along the way for reminding us to savor tiny moments! "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! WHAT A RIDE!'” ~ by Hunter S. Thompson Hope you can join us! EAT DESSERT FIRST!

Guest leader this week! A word from the leader! “For the route itself, riders should be prepared to do some technical riding, a little hike-a-bike, and be able to lift their bikes over some logs. Bring legs willing to climb and PMA!” Roughly 15 miles and about 1k of climbing. A faster and more adventurous group ride with a no drop mentality! See you there!

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. 🗺️ TNR #545 Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/52627088 ✨Be an Empowered Bystander✨ See something off?

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

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.

We are going to celebrate the sun and its life and season giving cycles by cycling into Fall on the day of the Equinox! More/route details to follow. Expect something 30+ miles and ~2k elevation +funny biz. I am having a busy month, so this ride won't be extremely ambitious, and there won't be a sunrise start. My plan is to meet at a reasonable daytime hour (optional tea at start) and roll until sunset/equinox O'clock @8:19pm. Likely beer/food stop at or towards the end. Join us in celebrating the slow and stunning death of summer! Come prepared for potential weather. Bring snacks and water but travel light! Make sure you have lights for the evening. Consider giving your bike some attention for the upcoming fallen leaf and wetter season!

Ride Westside

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.
