**NOT A RIDE** Meet up with other bikey folks in Tigard! Grab a bite or get a drink. NA options available. Let's talk about making Washington County better for everyone! Hoping to make this happen on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month.

Ride_WestSide

Join Ride Westside as we ride from Beaverton Central to Cooper Mountain Ale Works in Tigard to support Shawne's Tigard Bike Happy Hour! This is a no-drop social ride aiming for ~10 mile/hour pace. We will explore an alternative route that bypasses the Fanno Creek Trail and all of its myriad obstacles (pedestrians, high water levels, roots, and ducks). Come join for good times, bike friends and south Beaverton / Tigard side street exploration! (Unfortunately, this will involve taking the lane on a few busy roads, namely the Southwest Hall Boulevard Highway 217 overpass. We've tried to plan our route to avoid these types of roads to the extent possible).

Ride Westside

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 by 7:30, leave after “Beer Minutes.” 🕢 If you’re not at the fountain by 7:30, you may want to meet us at the next stop. 🧭 Live Location: https://ridewithgps.com/users/1303039/live_log ✨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

Friday night ride is a social ride for people who enjoy a sporty pace and adventurous routes. Every ride is different but generally range between 15 and 25 miles and you can expect some climbing and higher speeds than your average pedalpalooza ride. NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE. Riders should be self sufficient and have a plan for getting themselves home. This is a bicycle-forward group ride. Pedal-assist ebikes are ok (class 1 & 2). Throttle heavy, high speed battery powered motor bikes are not (class 3 & 4). If you're not pedaling it’s not a bicycle and you will asked to leave. 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. 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

Hey Guys! I guess it's been a sec since we last did this huh? Well all this good weather and at least I know I have been biking more so let's see if folks are ready for Bike Spring? at least Pre Bike-Summer... I just chose Ms. Pacman at random. it's a great game. and one that anyone can crush after a few warm up games. We previously hosted this game but it was lit 105' that day and all the rides were cancelled and we still pulled it off but are really hoping some folks bring their "A" game and show off some hi scores. Keith and I are getting the trailer ready and have a good location picked out and hopefully no rain and see you friday! If you weren't already aware, we bring a large video projector around by bike and play vintage video games in unusual places... It's a blast you should come!

Welcome to Mellow Mondays 2026. Are you interested in leading a ride? This is a supportive and organized way to lead for the first time. Every week there’s different themes but there are constants…. Slow pace, about 8 mph, Distance varies but approx 10 miles, Family friendly, We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides, Store stop for safe clean bathroom access but generally we try and make these stops short, Skater friendly (but please check with ride leader about crunchy or potential issues for skates), ALL Wheels friendly (scooter, skates, skateboard, e bikes etc), Ride is always a loop, Corking and traffic intersections are calm. Be mindful of smoking around others and do not smoke around children. FAQ, Can I bring a speaker? Yes but please speak to the ride leader and play the music they’ve carefully selected or what their preference is. Can I lead a ride? Yes, please attend a few first and get a feel for how the rides are. I’ve heard NakedHearts supports other rides? Yes, we can help with planning, encouragement, promotion, sound support and what not. What do you mean you practice consent? We ask everyone (even friends, relatives, husbands and wives with each other) to ask for permission before touching anyone else or their belongings and when asking to seek listen and empower ‘No’. What do you mean you practice Non-violence? We specifically expect everyone to be calm, kind and respectful with all car interactions. One riders aggression to a car driver can put everyone else at risk. We live in a small city and are bound to encounter the same drivers again. Are all your rides a protest? Yes, being together with respect and acceptance and finding comfort and joy around others and strangers is an act of protest against the divisive paradigm we are in.

Casual ride to art galleries for the First Friday Art Walk. First Friday Art Walk is a monthly tradition where art galleries stay open late, bring in artists, have free food, and have hands-on arts projects. http://firstfridaypdx.org/ Biking is the best way to get around to these wonderful galleries, as they're spread around inner SE/NE. We get to 5-8 galleries, depending on how long our group spends in each gallery. We don't know exact routes and galleries, because we decide in the moment. We'll stay out until ~9:30pm, then see if folks are up for a group dinner afterwards. Join for as many galleries as you like, and leave when you wish. If you have a sound system bring it! I love music on group bike rides. Ride details: 5-15 minutes of biking between galleries. Our ride is perfect for new cyclists and families with kids. We'll go at a slow pace so folks can socialize, and everyone can keep up. We'll use small neighborhood streets with minimal cars.

ALL OUT FOR MAYDAY!! Join us to celebrate this workers' holiday with a rally and march to the ICE facility. We remember the May Day martyrs, immigrants who died fighting for workers' rights. ¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!

Beaverton Neighborhood Foodie Bike Ride Saturday, May 2, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Meet at the Tualatin Hills Nature Center 6 Miles Roundtrip, Out and Back North Beaverton is lucky to have dozens of delicious local restaurants, all within easy biking distance from the Powerline Trail. The Five Oaks Triple Creek Neighborhood is hosting a relaxed group bike ride along the Beaverton Powerline Trail, highlighting some of these eateries along the way. While we will not be stopping to eat at any of the restaurants as a group, we encourage riders to return to any of them after the ride for lunch. Plus, we'll have free pastries! The majority of the ride will be on the Powerline Trail, with the route deviating a block or two to visit a few different clustered restaurant locations. The route will start and end at the Tualatin Hills Nature Center. We will not be biking on any major roads. We will follow a route that prioritizes using calmer roads to show our neighbors and fellow foodies how easy it can be to bike around the neighborhood. This is a great ride for everyone, including families, people new to cycling, or seasoned pros! We hope you’ll join us for a spin around the neighborhood and the chance to find your new favorite lunch/dinner/breakfast/brunch/snack spot close to home!

Foodie Bike Ride

Ride bikes around SE Portland with Kidical Mass! Put on your superhero costume to celebrate Free Comic Book Day with a family-friendly bike ride to our favorite comic shop. We’ll ride from the Sunnnyside School playground to Books With Pictures across from Abernethy School on neighborhood greenways and quiet streets, while listening to superhero music. This is a free event, and kids can get free sample comics! But you might want to bring money buy a book or snack at the food cart behind the shop. Your ride leaders will be dressing up as comic book superheros, but you can also be any kind of comic character or just ride as you are. The ride is a loop, 2 miles each way with a break at the comic shop and food carts in the middle, so it’s suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike. We ride at a moderate pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to ride in a straight line without training wheels, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal. Corker are welcome to be a traffic safety superhero. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too! Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46251769
