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.

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! Happy Hour will get you a $2.00 tapa with each glass of wine purchased

*not a ride* Four people presenting about bike touring. Come vicariously enjoy tales and photos from travels. Bike Touring is a great way to see the world. You are in your own air space. You can see things, smell things, hear things, enjoy the sun, wind, and rain firsthand. It's also affordable, fun, and can make your body feel great. I've been bike touring since I was 18, and have met a lot of fellow Portlanders who have also gone to far flung parts of the world. Or local parts of the world. On their bicycles. So I'm organizing this slide show series to give us all an opportunity to learn from each other, and provide motivation and instruction for people who would like to begin touring the world by bicycle. So. I'm hosting a 3-part bike touring slide show series at Migration Brewpub. It's free. It's informal, you can come and go as you like. Food is Nicaraguan. By Chef Rene. Beer is good. https://migrationbrewing.com/pubs/williams-pub-patio/ Feb 4th Lineup 6:30. Ted Buehler. Bike touring in rural Ukraine, 2016 and 2019. I rode through the Carpathian Mountains, visited the cities of Lviv, Odesa and Kyiv. Rode trains from place to place. Enjoyed the chill pleasantness that was Ukrainian Culture pre-2022. Photos, maps, stories. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10158030581450985&set=pb.699765984.-2207520000&type=3 7:00 Maren Souders. Touring around the USA by Amtrak, with a Brompton and trailer. Maren took about 15 months in 2021 and 2022 to visit dozens of Intentional Communities and botanical gardens, from Portland to San Diego, to Florida, to Quebec, to British Columbia. Many adventures along the way, on the backroads and highways getting from Amtrak stations to outlying destinations. https://www.dreamintochange.com/the-route-takes-shape/ 7:30 Emily Wilson (and maybe Ben Foote) Vashon Island by bicycle, train and ferry. 2022. It's an easy starter bike tour -- Amtrak to Tacoma, ride to the ferry, ride the length of Vashon Island (Seattle's greenest suburb in many ways), then ferry to Seattle and Amtrak back to Portland. 8:00 Colleen Barclay. Olympic Peninsula by bicycle. 2024. Colleen is new to Portland, and bicycled the entire peninsula last year, self supported. But she is not new to the Pacific Northwest -- in 1978 she and a friend did a similar self-supported bike tour up Vancouver Island, then to Prince Rupert by ferry, and across the Canadian Rockies to the prairies.

We ride bikes in Southeast Portland. We start on foster at the Mercado. Next to the 1 year old burnt down barrio. If you can support the food carts before we head out on the bike ride we meet up at 7:30 and We ride out at 8pm. We have guests ride leaders often. Please come prepared. Bring your lights maybe a spare tube patch kit tools to do such. Don't litter they are homeless not your can butler's. Be kind to all travelers, everybody's got places to go things to do, and everybody wants to make it home in the end.

Bike Happy Hour

Yo! It's going to be cold! It may be snowing! Will there be ice? Who knows? We will be out and ready to ride if someone shows up! This isn't an invitation to get hurt though! We want everyone to have a good time and if this is something out of your comfort zone don't fret! We will see you in two weeks! As always we are a faster and more adventurous group ride with a no drop mentality. (Sometimes it happens!) We are adults so please do what is best for you!

Whether you knew Bob or not, please come to CELEBRATE LIFE as we honor a cyclist who recently passed on 12/4/24 after crashing on his way home from work on 11/21. We will ride from his work downtown to his favorite stop, the Tilikum Crossing bridge, and back making a loop.  We at BikeLoud didn't know him, but he sounded like a really cool guy, and didn't want his death to go unnoticed in the cycling community.   We learned a little about him to share…  Bob Spingler was a beloved employee of Dan & Louis Oyster Bar restaurant for 10 years. He was said to have a vibrancy and a zest for life, shown in his wild clothes, body ink, and the jewelry he wore (he designed that Tork worn around his neck). It was shared how one of Bob’s sisters commented that he “went to Woodstock in 1969 and never came back”. He enjoyed good weed, and loved music by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Band, and especially, King Crimson, with their album cover tattooed on his chest.  A few years ago, he bought a class 2 Pedego e-bike. Before that, Bob rode a motorcycle cruiser for over 50 years with his friend Eric adding “without a crash”.  He also shared how“[At age 75,] Besides arthritis, Bob had the body and energy of a 35-year-old. Cycling is what kept him young”.  Eric also shared a special trait of Bob’s that we especially admire, “One thing especially fascinating was how he talked to absolutely everyone. Being at a restaurant or on the street with him, literally anyone walking by would get a genuine “How you doing?”.   He had spent time in many different parts of the US before landing in Portland. The story of how he got hired at the Oyster Bar is inspiring!  Bob will live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind and even some of us who have just read about him.  His friends and coworkers are having a Memorial on Thursday, February 6th, and we’ll arrive a bit later to honor this cyclist many of us didn’t get the opportunity to know with a group bicycle ride to his favorite stop.  At 6 PM, we will hear a story or two from Bob's friends and coworkers before we head out on our bicycles as a group. With Bob's favorite music leading the way, we will follow the route he took home every workday, over the Tilikum Crossing bridge, stopping for a brief ceremony, then head back to the restaurant, making an easy-paced 3.7-mile loop.  We hope those even who didn’t know Bob will join, maybe in honor of the memory of those other special people who passed. This ride is meant to be a physical community act of Celebrating Life!  Let there be strength in numbers.  (Photos by his friend and photographer, Wayne Mackeson)

Ride with friends in a welcoming environment! Every Thursday ride is a loop. We are always no-drop and will attempt to help riders with mechanical issues. ***NOTE ON WINTER RIDES*** Rides during the winter months will be subject to weather conditions and ride leader availability. Please check back here the day of the ride for up-to-date info. We'll try to update this listing by noon the day of the ride if it isn't happening, but cancelations may occur closer to ride time. The first Thursday of each month will be masks-required. This ride aims to be a safer space. We take the code of conduct seriously and do not allow harassment, violence, racism, bigotry, threats, or other actions that go against the code of conduct. Always ask for consent before touching another person or their belongings. If you experience or witness an issue, please alert a ride leader. Banned riders are banned here.

The North Portland Library has reopened after more than 1.5 years of renovations! Celebrate its grand reopening with a family-friendly bike ride to our beautifully remodeled neighborhood library. Meet at 9am at Grand Central Bakery on Fremont. There will be time for you to purchase your morning coffee and pastries - don't forget to BYO travel mug! We will roll out by 9:30. It's an easy ~1 mile ride to the library, where we will arrive in time to enjoy some of the opening day festivities, including the Jefferson Dancers who will be performing from 9:45 - 11am. This ride is short and sweet, and I hope you can join!

Community led ride - many folks now know the route and different folks can point the way each week! There are three meeting points: 1. SE Clinton St/41st Ave at 10 am (ride at 10:05) 2. SE Clinton St/26 Ave at 10:10 am (ride at 10:15) 3. Tilikum Bridge at PDX Opera ~10:25 am; leaving from Tilikum location ~10:30 am 4. Arrive at PSU Market ~11 am Ride is on every Saturday the market is open (year round except weekend between Christmas and New Year). We will make every effort to note weather-related closures here promptly.

Time to ride! We will be leaving the Vera Katz Statue at 10am sharp! Meeting up at 9:30. This is for the full route which is 69 miles and 2,141 feet of elevation. There is a route for a shorter route leaving Camas after the Safeway store stop but no leader at the time of the posting. We have the route if someone is interested in that as well. This is going to be a difficult route and as always we have a no drop mentality but must maintain timeframes to get everyone home at a decent hour. The entire route will have gravel, dirt/mud, some, pathways and bike lanes. This route will be hard and fun with some beautiful sites to see. Come ride and get a feel for the longer route and take the shorter one which is about 52 miles and 1,763 feet of elevation. Bring fenders, rain gear, just in case, lights and your P.M.A.!

More details to come…

This is a monthly ride on the 2nd Sunday of each month. Meet at Stacks Coffeehouse around 9:30a for coffee and conversation, then leave around 10-10:15a. Ride ends back at Stacks Coffeehouse. Also as transportation chair for the Overlook Neighborhood Association, I'd love to hear from folks about transportation-related issues and ideas for folks walking, biking, and taking transit for their daily needs, so let me know!

*ATTENTION! RIDE TIME CHANGE JAN 2025 & BEYOND* Join us for a Second Sunday Funday ride every month. Meet at the Peninsula Park Rose Garden Fountain or the Gazebo (weather-dependent) at 1PM. We roll out at 2PM. Each month is led by a different CORVIDAE member, and therefore will be unique. We try to focus our rides on greenways, group etiquette and silliness. In addition to bike safety and accessibility, we want to promote using bicycles as an alternative to fossil fueled travel within Portland. This is a no-drop ride, but please bring your repair kit with a spare tube so we can keep the ride rolling. Please bring your own provisions; we’ll be stopping near stores, but not at them. Each member has an eye out for the crowd, will cork, sweep and be a general pillar of support. Ride pace is casual at around 10 miles with a few park stops. We aim to impress that this is a safe environment for all; no aggressive, sexist, racist, or any other kind of BS will be tolerated. Please review our Corvidae Code of Conduct on our FB main page or IG highlights.
