Just show up and hang out. That's it! All ages are welcome but there is only street parking and bike racks where you can park bikes and displace cars if you want.

We continue the tradition that started at the picnic tables at Irving park years ago. The torch has been passed and we’re back! Well be focusing different end spots then usual ones plus we’ll have new ride leads popping up thru summer so if you want to lead just ask! Party paced to swifter at times 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 lol. Don’t be an asshole 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 🖤🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️✊

This is a no-drop, easy pace loop ride perfect for folks new to the bike or just getting back on their wheels. Optional refreshment stop toward the end. Meet at 5:30, we’ll roll out at 5:45.

Hello cat lovers! Bring your cat or dress as a cat for the 6th Annual Cat Ride! This ride is also in memoriam of Eric Martinez, who co-lead the ride with me for the first 4 years of the ride. Looking forward to another purrrrfect ride! Ride is mostly flat and is typically around 6 miles.

Meet at the park, bring a box of wine. We will ride to several parks and do dumb stunts. Lots of bag slapping, slow racing, riding in circles. Don't forget wine. 21+. Bring wine.

Get ready to relax and stretch in this slow and stretchy yin class. We will explore longer holds and use lots of props to support us in our practice. This is a lovely class to unwind at the end of a busy day. Instructor Bio: Carla Bartow (she/her/hers) I first started practicing yoga as an infant at mommy and me yoga. I became a dedicated practitioner in 2012, while I was living in Upstate New York. I came to vinyasa yoga at that time, when I was training for riding century bike rides. I moved to Portland in 2013 to live car-free and I have done so for over a decade now. I have studied yoga in-depth with Audra Carmine from whom I received certification to teach vinyasa yoga. It is my great honor to be a vessel of growth through teaching yoga. This is a donation-based sliding scale yoga class. Suggested donation is $5-$20. Donations are collected in person at class via online donation or cash.

We are on a one way trip to Portland!!! Will we take Barber? Corbett? Kelly Ave?? How are we going to get to Salmon Springs? Well we ain't telling!!! Come hang with the coolest cats this side of the river and take a route that won't have you out of your saddle the entire time. We have other rides for that! We are a faster paced and more adventurous group ride with a no drop mentality! Ever wonder how to get into Portland from Beaverton without climbing over Sylvan hill? Now's your chance to do it with a group and be seen!

~7 miles, loop, slow pace, no drop, safe space, following Shift Code of Conduct Family-friendly Start: Colonel Summers Park by the splash pad Middle: Holladay Park and then the Table Tennis Club End: Colonel Summers Park Bring ping pong paddles and balls if you have them. I will have several paddles to loan and lots of balls. We will ride at 6:00pm to Holladay Park (NE 11th and Multnomah, near Lloyd Center) to play on the two outdoor tables. Depending on how many show up, we might play Around-the-World. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd9NPJ0kLrY I am fond of playing a game I call The Friendly Volley while chatting. Both players win by getting to know each other better and almost never having to chase the ball or bend over to pick it up. We will proceed from Holladay Park to the Table Tennis Club (1720 SE Haig) to play from 8-10pm. They are staying open late for us! Optional $5 donation special for this event (regular rate is $10). No one turned away for lack of funds! Bathrooms are available there. We can have food and non-alcoholic drinks in the lobby, not by the tables. Ride back to Colonel Summers with us, or peel off on your own at the end. Bike Love, Carey

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 acoustic bicycle adventure returns! Come join our pointillistic swarm of bleeps and bloops as we meander through the echo-locations of Portland. Strap on your Casiotones, your telephones, your xylophones, your Gameboys, whatever other noise-toys you've got -- or you can borrow one of ours! We’ll warm up at the start point to get our noises on, then ride off in a musical parade of migratory soundbirds!

Calling all Roanies, Animal$, KatyKats, Swifties, and Soldiers of the Britney Army! We are back this year for everyone's favorite bike ride: trashier, poppier, and sluttier. We are H-O-T-T-O-G-O! Come ride, bop, and dance with us along a magical glitter filled route from Irving to Colonel Summers Park for a dance party! Wear your most scandalous trash pop inspired costumes, glitter, spandex, fur, and friendship bracelets. The playlist will be filled with songs you get so much shit for from your hipster, audiophile, music snob friends. This year's expanded playlist will leave you praying to whatever holy hell the Jonas Brothers came from for more music, more dancing, and more mini skirts you have to hide from your mom! NO REQUESTS, NO TASTE, NO APOLOGIES. YOU WILL KISS A GIRL AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.

The shortest night of the year invites us to roll into astronomical summer! Earths tilt tips at 7:42pm. Let's celebrate the upper apex of our sun's path by rolling from sunset to sunrise. Route details to follow. Expect at least 40miles, and 2000ft climb. Caution: contains "funny business," i.e. trail/gravel, non bike routes, and potential hike-a-bike sections. We have ALL NIGHT, i.e. around 9h ride duration (~6h saddle time/~3h breaks). 10-15mph (depending on segment). Solstice rides cover ground, are adventurous, test gear and challenge rider endurance! Take this as you will. Expect the unexpected. Pace is swift but with stops and regroups.This is a long format ride so drops are probable. You are the best judge of your abilities and energy level. If you need to bail, we'll help you get your bearings. Otherwise, expect to stick with the group until the sun comes up! We will stop for mechanicals and can assist. Come prepared! Layers (for cool temps and potential overgrown paths), lights, charging packs, food, water, bug spray are clever. Bring what you need but pack light. At least one proper store stop and one 24/7. Leave no trace. Ready your bikes for the upcoming season (check your breaks/tires/lube chains)! Look for long format day rides quarterly for all seasonal shifts. ->Fall Equinox->Winter Solstice->Spring Equinox-> Feel free to reach out with questions.

Texas 4000 for Cancer is the world's longest annual charity bike ride, starting in Austin, Texas and ending in Anchorage, Alaska. We are a group of 60 college students continuing this tradition at the University of Texas at Austin for over 20 years. Since Texas 4000’s inception in 2004, we have awarded over $4.6 million in grants towards the fight against cancer, and we hope to continue this legacy as we raise money for every mile on our summer ride. Join us as we pass through Portland on our way to Alaska: we will be riding out towards Longview, WA @7:30am on June 21st. We will start at Couch Park and have a quick ride dedication before we begin - feel free to bike with us as long as you like. (10, 20, 30 miles, etc.)

Texas 4000 for Cancer

Ride all day naked in Portland. Pace will be slow to moderate. Morning ride + Sunny Ride + Leif Ericson Ride + St. Johns Ride + Evening Ride. Lighthearted protest of lack of funding for bicycle infrastructure. We'll stop at various places where bicycle facilities have been underfunded. Also where people have been injured or killed. Also, exercise your rights to freedom of speech, and freedom to peaceable assemble to seek redress of grievances. Your right as a US citizen since 1793, and hopefully well into the future!

Ride naked to support body freedom. And protest highway construction, and the lack of bikeway construction. We'll ride the bikeways of N and NE Portland, and look at places where improvements can be made. Ends at Coe Circle, meets the Sunny Naked Ride. We'll have moments of silence where bicyclists and pedestrians have been killed in the last 12 months.

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.

Please use your bike to navigate the sales(but be extra vigilant!). Also, we won't be riding as a group-feel free to navigate on your own! Special prizes for: Best Bikey Item Most Unusual Biggest bargain

Our second year holding this ride, but like 16th for the garden tour :) more details to come as it gets closer! Last year was SUPER fun! Gardens on the tour have a variety of aesthetics and are guaranteed to provide inspiration. It's also a great way to get out and meet your neighbors and pick up some gardening info (even if you don't have a green thumb, like myself). This will be a lovely short little ride where we will just ride together from house to house, short distance covered overall. we'll stop for 5-10-15 minutes per house to enjoy the garden and chat with the gardener (many of these people have spent countless hours over the years transforming their outdoor spaces!). Bring water/snacks/sunscreen & we're going to stop mid route at Essex park for their bathroom. Information here: • Look for signs marking each host garden • Stay on paths and sidewalks unless invited by host • Help children respect plants and protected places • No visiting pets of any kind in gardens • Restrooms are not available at private home

Pedalpalooza Beer & Ice Cream Ride Saturday June 21st 2pm-8pm-ish The Beer & Ice Cream Ride is back for a second year! Celebrate Bike Summer and support local businesses. We’ll take off from Ground Breaker and stop for some ice cream at Fifty Licks. From there we’ll make our way to TPK Brewing. Next we’ll make a stop at Leikam Brewing and finally we’ll finish up at Montavilla Brew Works.

Roll through Portland's beautiful Forest Park on the gravel Leif Erikson Trail. Naked , mostly naked, or clothed. The trail is an often overlooked gem, a beautiful place for your bicycle to take you on the first day of summer. Skinny tires are okay, but wide tires are better. We'll have spare tubes for flats. Meet at portapotties 1/4 mile up the road from the Thurmon St. Gate. This is a good ride for shy people who want to have a nice naked ride in a natural setting, but not be highly visible to the general public. Ends at the pretty secluded beach at the foot of Burlington Ave in St Johns.

Want to bare a little skin but don't want to do the naked rides? Do you have some sparkly or metallic shorts on the shorter side waiting to be worn? Let's don our finest booty shorts, short shorts, thongs, anti-shorts, whatever — as much or as little as you want — and roll slowly to meet up with the LCD Sound System vs. Daft Punk ride. My route isn't very long or difficult, but it does have a store stop at Clinton St Market. Here it is: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51258488 This ride is for fun and community, please leave any bad attitudes somewhere else. If you're banned from other rides, assume you're banned here also. We're not tolerating any homophobic, transphobic, sexist, aggressive, abusive or shitty behavior.

Year #4... We're going to get lucky! Meet up face to face at Kenilworth Park in SE at 7:00, jam out to some Daft Punk deep cuts, and ride out at 7:30. Then we'll get harder, better, faster, stronger as we join up with the LCD Soundsystem ride at another Portland park. We'll then ride out one more time to a final end spot where we will all lose ourselves to dance with DJs Lola Jak (@wearelolajak)! Bring a Soundboks to link up but please respect the playlist and avoid playing other music or having multiple speakers clash when possible. Rain date will be in July if needed...

Group ride from St. Johns to Col Summers Park. Clothing optional, cameras discouraged. We are meeting at Burlington Beach, which has secluded swimming areas. We'll celebrate PBOT's new continuous bike lane on Willamette Blvd.

Bright neon colors fill the air; we will be the most visible ride around. Running gear, biking gear, construction worker clothes; whatever is bright and loud on the eyes would be great, so bring it! And what’s a bright rider without a bright bike? Bicycles with bright decorations and sparkly lights are also highly desirable for this ride. Meet at 7. At 7:30 we ride from Ladd's Circle to a small cliff at Skidmore Bluffs (a.k.a. Mock's Crest), making a short pit stop along the way at our usual convenience mart. Arrive at the Bluffs by 8:45 and watch the sun set over the river. Chill and take photos of the sunset, and be in our group photo, especially as the sun’s yellow, orange, and red rays make our outfits really glow. Bring gloves or a jacket for when the sun sets. Will reschedule if it rains, as we need the bright sun to light us up. Hang out for a bit after sunset, and if you want to make this ride a loop, some of us will head out at 9:20(-ish) back to Ladd’s Circle.

Year #4... I wish that we could talk about it... so here we go. We'll meet at Irving Park and jam out for a while, that's how it starts. We depart at 7:30 to pedal to and meet up with the Daft Punk ride. Oh baby will it be a fun time. Deeper cuts and grooves for this ride, combo ride will be big hits. Where are your friends tonight? Both rides end on the esplanade where DJs Lola Jak (@wearelolajak) will be spinning Indie Pop and house! See you North American Scum there. Please respect the playlist and avoid playing other music or having multiple speakers clash when possible. Rain date in July if needed

Climate Change is making Portland summer nights almost unbearable. In the past, the air would cool at night. Providing refreshing respite from the heat. And allowing homes to cool off. Now the nights are routinely hot. We'll protest the lack of response by local and global leaders with a lighthearted protest ride. We'll stop at government agencies and call for decreases in greenhouse gas emissions. Also fossil fuel companies. Come roll around Portland and enjoy comfort in the only way possible -- bicycling naked! Bring signs and body paint if you have them! You can be naked, bare-as-you-dare, or clothed.

The Hawthorne Bridge will be closed to all cyclists, pedestrians, and motor vehicles from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM for maintenance work. During that time, you'll need to use an alternative route. The Tilikum Crossing is the closest option; the Morrison, Burnside, or Steel bridges are all nearby as well. This closure is weather dependent. Sunday June 29 during the same time frame is the backup date for this closure. If you're leading a ride this day and need help updating your listings or have any questions, please contact the Shift calendar crew!

Let's go on a bike tour of some of the coolest, secret-but-not-so-secret placemaking projects in town! Explore how communities develop meaning, joy, and connection through creative transformation of public areas and private residences into shared spaces. And where there's shared spaces, there's a sense of community cohesion - villages! Part of the Village Building Convergence festival week hosted by non-profit City Repair.

Celebrate the COOLEST winter holidays in the HOTTEST season of the year! Wear a costume. Sing carols at the top of your lungs. Make pedestrians & drivers do a double-take and say, "Whaaaaaa..!?" I’ll load my trailer with ice cold drinks and a loud bluetooth speaker. My playlist has Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas songs, but we can take turns if you BYOM. Meet at Holladay Park (near Lloyd Center) at 12 noon to decorate your bike - - as usual, I'll bring holiday stickers, tinsel, etc. In previous years, riders have brought a Christmas tree & wreath on a trailer and beanie-baby dragons wearing Christmas hats, and some have dressed up as Santa, elves, and that awesome character "Jack" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas.” That Jack is not to be confused with the person named Jack who leads the "Hi-Viz Ride,” but he will show up and lead his "Halloween in June" ride at the same time. Both groups will ride together starting at 12:30 and be back at Holladay Park by 1:30 pm, where we’ll all vote for Best Costume and Best-decorated Bike, with a prize for each winner.

213-394-9081

The spirit of Halloween is alive in Portland year ‘round. It’s never too scary and never too early in the year for Halloween candy. I’ll bring treats for those in costume. A few years ago this ride happened when it was 116 degrees out, so everyone do your 'no-heat-wave-dance' beforehand. Holladay Park has big water fountains you can bike through and splash in to cool off. This ride joins the “Winter Holidays in June” ride - more costumes! A fun chill ride with a stop for pics then back to Holladay by 1:30 pm for a costume & bike contest. If you plan to do the Shark-Naito Ride, get 2-for-1 use out of your shark costume! Join this ride, then stick around afterward and ride with a group of sharks to Shark-Naito. That ride meets one hour after this one ends, and its starting point is an 15-minute ride from Holladay. Dress up, eat treats, and listen to ghoulish music as we ride!

I wanted to host a couple of fun rides that follow routes I personally use for training in suburbia, aka the Westside! I'm a new and pretty young ride leader, so please bear with me. We'll meet at Orenco MAX station at noon and roll at 1230. The route is around 16 miles long, and a loop. It's called Bronthany as I'm combing "Bronson Creek" and Bethany! The route will start from Orenco MAX station, to the Cherry Lane Trailhead, which puts us on the Rock Creek Trail (Hillsboro). We take that up to Rock Creek Boulevard, and then make our first stop at Bethany Elementary. Then we go through Oak Hills, until we get to Terra Linda. We'll make another stop at Terra Linda Elementary. We'll have to ride on the roadway of NW 143rd until the trailhead for the Upper Westside Trail. Then, we'll take that to our second to last stop of Wismer Elementary. After that, we just follow the Rock Creek Trail all the way back to Orenco, and make our last stop at Bethany Lake Park. This ride has a bit of hills, particularly between Oak Hills and the Upper Westside Trail. I would recommend you bring an E-Bike if you are unsure of your climbing ability, but all bikes are welcome regardless. If you bring kids, please make sure they are comfortable with climbs. This will be a no-drop ride as well, so if you have any issues, we will help!

For any messages, send them to @62murrayblvd on Instagram or @48sunsettc on Twitter

Dust off your skinny jeans, flat iron your bangs, and prepare to ride like you just added us to your Top 8. We're taking it back to the golden age of glittery GIFs, moody song lyrics as status updates, and Tom being your only true friend. Come dressed as your Myspace Profile picture. And if you didn't have a myspace profile picture, come dressed as Tom or your best 2005 scene kid look. Join us for a low-key, high-resolution community bike ride through the streets—where every stop is a chance to update your profile song (read: blast nostalgic emo bangers). Bonus points for eyeliner, scene hair, and bringing your top 8 IRL. Because nothing says “social networking” like a bunch of adults pretending it’s still 2005… on bikes. 🖤 Ride is not a loop.

🦈 IT'S A SHARK-NAITO... 2! 🦈 It's a Sharknado, but on Naito Parkway. With bikes. Dress like a shark, dress like a tornado, dress like a beach-goer who *won't* get eaten by sharks because sharks are just cute lil guyz. Or dress like an orca, because hypothetically if sharks and orcas teamed up to take down mega-yachts... * Compete for the Best Shark Impression trophy * Enjoy music about sharks, beaches, and tornadoes * PUNS. Lots of puns. Be prepared to get wet and bike around fountains with your fellow sharks in a... SHARK-NAITO. Verrry loosely based on the Sharknado film saga. No touching other sharks or their belongings without consent. Report any issues to the HSIC (Head Shark In Charge). Shark.

– Are you among the majority of Americans who support unionized workforces, helping to bring that support to its highest level in 60 years? – Are you concerned about the unprecedented union-busting executive order that recently came from the White House? – Are you interested in unionizing your workplace but haven’t quite had the wherewithal to get started? – Are you outraged over the recent detentions of union members like Lewelyn Dixon, David Huerta, Alfredo Juarez Zeferino, and others? If you answered yes to these questions, join us for an informative ride through inner SE Portland with stops where we’ll hear from local union members representing Unite Here, LIUNA, ONA, and IWW. If you’re already a union member, wear your union shirt, bring a sign and a worker friend who isn’t a union member but could be. This ride is scheduled to occur before the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)* two-day organizing training in Corvallis June 28–29th to give you time to sign up and plan your trip. More details in sign-up link below. *IWW represents Portland workers at Fried Egg I'm In Love, Voodoo Doughnuts, Peet’s Coffee, DIY Bar, and more. Ride organizer is not an IWW member, nor is attending the training as I already belong to a union, nor do I have any current or past affiliation with IWW. Just wanted to spread the word about what looks like a promising event to build more union membership in our local economy!

Join us on the westside for Bike Happy Hour. Meet new friends and old, hang out, grab a beverage (alcoholic or not), grab some food, and let's talk bikes!

One of the best parts of bike camping and touring is making meals. Here’s a chance to do that without actually going camping! Ride your bike to Tabor on your own and meet us there where we’ll make dinner. Get dinner-making practice for all the bike camping adventures you'll have this summer. Chat with other cyclotourists about bike touring/camping/packing plans for the summer. And nerd out over camping stove setups and impress everyone with the feast you’ll craft! Please note: camping stove is required, not a grill/hibachi. (There's another ride for that!) Please try to avoid the "pour hot water into a pouch" "meals" that you bought at REI. Get creative! Note: No grocery stop, come prepared

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.

Quick how to lead a ride tutorial before Mellow Mondays ride. Things we’ll cover, Theme creation, Creating the atmosphere you want, Sourcing support, Route planning, Speed, What if’s…… Then QnA. This is meant as a conversation opener and an opportunity to move towards leading your own rides. This will be lead by Moorland with occasional support. Brief Bio: NakedHearts has lead around 350 ish rides, with 100 ish different ride leaders, we’ve worked with local schools, government agencies, festivals, DJ’s, Bands, venues, parades, artist groups of all kinds and supported 100 ish other rides. So we have a little experience. But the all the experience just teaches caring about the ride and riders is what matters, and everything flows from there. For most people that comes naturally. Kiro (who’s only 8 years old) is considered the best ride leader and he cares about the ride and riders and having fun and that’s what makes him the best because that’s his focus. The mechanics of leading and organizing can seem daunting but it’s within reach of all of us.

Its a Ride after the Westside Bike Happy Hour! Meet at the BGs Food Cartel Western Bike Rack (near the SW Rose Biggi Ave entrance) Come for HH 4:30-7. Find your bike at 7, we'll ride by 7:15! Route TBD Ride Leader TBD This will be a casual pace, no drop ride exploring around Beaverton & maybe Hillsboro.

For those of you who can't make it on Wednesday to Rainbow Plaza or for those of you who need a 2nd day of community building, or for those of you who like/love to drink wine... I present to you a weekly Tuesday event at Bar Botellon ! just three blocks from Blumenauer Bridge! $2.00 tapa with every glass of wine purchased. https://barbotellon.com/tapas - tapas menu ! https://barbotellon.com/drinks - wine menu & other drinks :) Join other bike-minded folks for good wine, great tapas, and Spaniard vibes on the corner of NE 6th & Davis at Bar Botellon every Tuesday from 4-8pm (or so). Tapas Tuesday, inspired by Bike Happy Hour on Wednesday, is a place where anyone can show up and be embraced (not literally, unless you're a hugger!) by our wonderful community. Just show up and hang out. That's it! All ages are welcome but there is only street parking and bike racks where you can park bikes and displace cars if you want. No coloring books (sorry Jonathan :/ ) or crayons for the kiddos, but feel free to bring your own activities: puzzles, chess, games, GUITARS, castanets, whatever!

Get ready for a tasty Tuesday adventure: we're serving up a multi-course vegan dinner by bicycle! Join us at Kenilworth Park at 6 for a delightful spread of vegan hors d'oeuvres and then come along as we visit a few vegan restaurants for a main course, desserts, and drinks. Our final stop will be in Buckman. Our pace will be easy and our route will be under 7 miles, and we're bringing a big speaker so we can rock out to our favorite food-themed tunes while we roll! We'll have food pre-ordered (on us) so that we can get in and out quickly at our stops, but bring money for any drinks or extra food that you want to buy. We also suggest bringing your own plate/utensil to help reduce waste. No need to RSVP–there will be lots of food, and if the group is bigger than anticipated, portions will end up being small but everyone will still be able to sample something from each stop. All the businesses we visit on this ride are part of Portland to Palestine, a directory of local businesses that demand a permanent ceasefire and a free Palestine. Check out the directory for yourself (or request your business be added) at PortlandtoPalestine.com.

🛼 Neon 80s Waterfront Skate Night! 🌈 Bridge City Skate is a local skate group that hosts weekly community rollouts around Portland. In June, we’re throwing a Neon '80s Themed Skate, a vibrant night of inline and quad skating, open to all wheels! While the event is led by skaters, everyone is welcome as long as they follow our basic community guidelines: be respectful, inclusive, and kind, no discrimination of any kind. Break out the leg warmers, slap bracelets, and your brightest neon, it’s time to roll back to the raddest decade! This Social Skate is a chill 4.5-mile cruise around Portland’s waterfront with big 80s vibes and bigger style. Expect a slower pace with more stops than most bicycle focused Pedalpalooza rides. 🕖 Meet-Up: 7:00 PM 📍 Location: S Meade St. & S Bond Ave. 🛞 Roll Out: 7:30 PM sharp 🎶 Theme: Neon 1980s — think disco, synthpop, and electric colors 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 recommended. Bring your smooth moves and a little balance. Costumes encouraged but never required, just bring your good vibes and wheels that roll. Let’s light up the night, 80s style! ✨

A bike ride in celebration of pizza, everybody’s favorite food group. On this day, we honor the humble slice. We’ll cruise around town and indulge in some of the best pizza slice offerings our fine city has to offer. Pace will be spirited, we got pizza laces to go and pizza to eat! YOUR 2025 BY THE SLICE LINEUP IS.... - Pizza Thief - Good Neighbor Pizzeria - Boxcar Pizza - Baby Doll Pizza - Meta Pizza - Oathbreaker Pie Ride w/GPS Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/51288408 Please be ABSOLUTELY THE MOST RESPECTFUL to all of these wonderful pizza establishments and tip them generously!!! I purposely plan this ride on a week day so we don't blow them up too hard with a big crowd of hungry stinky bike people. I will have a pizza cutter and a cutting board to cut down slices for easy sharing. Please do not feel the need to eat at every stop - cuz you might get a tummy ache! Zero tolerance policy for 0%-tippers, pizza traditionalists, Little Caesars haters, pineapplephobes, transphobes, homophobes, xenophobes, fascists, racists, nationalists, supremacists, and those who would fraternize with disgraced Papa John's CEO John Schnatter. If you harsh the vibes you will be asked to leave <3

Got a vintage flashlight or a fun new one that you're excited about? Why not meet other flashlight nerds and show off. This is a fun, (yet smallish,) community and what better time to have fun with all the lights than during a new moon. Whether it's something sentimental or just some fun new tech you've come across; this ride is a mix of chill folks meeting up for either seeing what others have collected or a doing some swaps. It can be an Eveready, Olight, playskool, or Hank light, all are welcome. Shift code of conduct applies and just don't be a jerk. (normal bike front and rear lights encouraged) Ride will be a loop

Pickleball Ride #1 of 2 Let’s play pickleball! Bring your best self and your most creative trash talk, big swings, even bigger misses, laughter, and high-fives. Meet at Mt. Tabor Tennis Courts East and socialize while we all help set up. Play in daylight for about an hour, then pack up and ride to Laurelhurst Park, arriving not too long before sundown. At Laurelhurst we’ll set up glow-in-the-dark nets and lines. I’ll bring glow-in-the dark pickleballs, LED pickleballs, a pair of blinky LED paddles, glow-in-the-dark tape, UV reactive tape, and portable UV lights to light up lines and nets. I’ll bring two regular nets and two small practice nets. Show up for daylight playtime, or for glow-in-the-dark fun, or both! If you play at both locations, then it’s a real ride. Please bring your own paddle if you have one. Your grandma told me to tell you: “It could get chilly towards the end of the ride, so bring a jacket and hot cocoa.” Note: since we plan to play on public property, court availability isn’t guaranteed. However, since we have nets and line markers, “Plan B” is to improvise and look for a paved playground or empty parking lot. We’ll have another pickleball ride in July or August - the “Crazy Rules Pickleball Ride”. Stay tuned, it should be posted soon.

Skeletons don't belong in closets! Have you ever noticed Portland's obsession with skeleton decor? If not, let's fix that. Join us for the second annual skeleton scavenger hunt where we'll ride past skeletons and skulls of all sizes, and you'll never NOT be able to notice them scattered throughout the city again. The ride this year will be in SE Portland. I still have to do some skeleton scouting before finalizing likely around 10 -12 miles again

After rave reviews last year this ride returns for a second go. The route is largely the same. You don't need to drive a big truck to like playing in the dirt. Join me as we find patches of dirt, gravel, and even a little single-track hidden around Hillsboro. Ride starts at the end of the MAX Blue line (Hatfield Govt Center) and will end near the MAX at Orenco. Your ride leader will be on a commuter with 38mm tires. I would recommend similar as there is definitely a fair mix of types of dirt and pavement. Note: do be prepared to lift your bike over train tracks when we cross at an unofficial location and carry your bike up a short stair set.

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!
