End location: Not a loop, but usually with a fire.
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
⛲️ 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!

Not a ride
Variable, announced every Thursday, TBA
Brian McGloin
Sat, Aug 9, 2025, 9:00 AM
Starts at about 9, people roll in and out through around 11
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.

End location: NE 7th and Sandy - The Depave BIG BLOCK PARTY
Portland gets 36" of rain a year — join a 7-mile ride to explore how water flows through the city, how we work with water and how you are part of it. This 7-mile ride invites you to explore Portland’s relationship with water — visible and invisible, natural and built. We’ll visit places where water tells stories of the past, shapes the present, and reflects our choices about belonging, stewardship, and connection to place. From native plants to urban springs, from art to hidden infrastructure, we’ll trace the ways water moves through our city. You’re not just along for the ride — you’re part of the water cycle. While this is not a full loop, a loop can be made by riding 2 miles on 7th Ave (a bike friendly road) from the end point north to Irving Park. This is a ride for all ages interested. Remember: - Helmet - Water bottle - Sunblock - A Snack. Ride will go across Broadway Bridge to Tanner Springs, along NW waterfront to cross Steel Bridge, along eastbank esplanade, and then finish at the Depave Block Party on 7th & Sandy.

End location: High Rocks Park in Gladstone
Ever been to High Rocks on the Clackamas River in Gladstone? It's an awesome swim spot where the water stays cold year-round. So what better time to take a dip/dive than in the hottest part of summer? High Rocks is the perfect spot for every type of swimmer- places to just dip in, rocks jutting out a few feet above the water perfect for a cannonball, or take the challenge and jump from 20+ feet above the water. There are lifeguards on duty so everyone is safe. This is a one-way ride as the end point is the park and people are welcome to stay as long as they like. Bring sun block and water! Maybe even some snacks! The ride will start at Westmoreland Park in Sellwood at Hall Pond (approx. the intersection of SE 22nd and SE Rex St). From there we'll go through Sellwood and pick up the Trolley Trail that goes through Milwaukie and Oak Grove until it ends in Gladstone right near High Rocks (which is basically across the street from the DMV). It's between 8-9 miles one way to High Rocks.

Do you have a favorite Bikeway Character? Come dressed up as your chosen piece of thermoplastic street art and let's get together & bike about it! We've come a long way from the days of rogue city workers altering the ubiquitous bike lane symbol into something cheeky. Until recently, there was a whole team dedicated to bringing school kid's winning designs to life on our streets! Full colour unicorns, lipsticked slugs, Gloria Steinem quotes... We'll meander around town appreciating some old & new road art, try to snap photos with our inspirations, and reminisce about Sharrow Characters long paved over. Perhaps most importantly, by showing our love for these silly art instillations we can try to convince PBOT to BRING BACK the Bike to Books Coloring Contest that quietly ended in 2022. This year we're exploring a bit of central Portland. We'll pop over to the west side for a bit, and then back over to the east side, recrossing some paths we've explored in past year's routes. This is a gentile, 8ish mile meander that aims to collect as many sharrows characters as we can. Stick with us for a photobooth, spoke card making station, and costume prizes in a park at the end! Need costume inspiration? tinyurl.com/bikelaneart will take you to a map of sharrows characters I've logged from across Portland, feel free to email me any other I've missed - let's crowdsource this collection! Also @bicycleroutefound is a GREAT follow on instagram with *mostly* local-to-Portland art on the street!

4:00 PM
End location: Vancouver Community Library, 901 C St, Vancouver, WA 98660
Each ride in this series will start at a Multnomah County Library (MCL) branch and end at a different library system, with an opportunity to sign up for a card at both locations. Did you know that if you live in any Portland area county — Multnomah, Washington, Clackamas, or Clark — you can get library cards for all of those systems? Each library system has a unique selection of materials and services, so collect 'em all! Libraries also make great pit stops while out riding — water, bathrooms, a quiet spot to stop and rest without having to spend money — so knowing your library branches can be very useful even when farther from home. First up is Vancouver — officially, Fort Vancouver Regional Libraries (FVRL). We'll start at the MCL North Portland branch, swing by the recently-reopened MCL Kenton branch, then head over to Vancouver to the downtown Vancouver Community Library branch. If you want to sign up for an FVRL library card, bring photo ID and proof of address. See fvrl.org/library-accounts for more details and what kind of documents to bring. Route map: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/50234458 Another perk of libraries is that they often have activities or exhibits available to visitors. For July and August, the Vancouver Community Library branch has an art exhibit by the Chronic Pain Project, "Illuminating the Invisible." The Chronic Pain Project is a local nonprofit "dedicated to raising awareness of the often-overlooked experience of living with chronic pain." The exhibit on display at the library was created by participants in the Chronic Pain Project and "the art created is a visual representation of their experience of pain intended to provoke conversation and promote understanding the wide variety of experiences people have with chronic pain." See chronicpainproject.org for more details. The ride isn't officially a loop, but if you stick around for a bit (check out the art, and maybe the farmers' market: vancouverfarmersmarket.org/downtown-market) we'll ride back as a group. Departure time from Vancouver TBD, but likely around 3:00pm. Directions also gladly given back to the start or to the MAX if you want to leave earlier. Look for future rides in this series to libraries in Milwaukie (Clackamas County, LINCC) and Beaverton (Washington County, WCCLS), dates TBD.

We try to focus our rides on greenways, group etiquette, safety measures and general comradery. 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.

It's likely the mister on NE 26th will be running to cool us down. 9 of 11 poetry posts will be within the first 5.5 miles, so if you'd like a shorter route, there will be an opportunity to peel off at that point and stay in NE.

Ride is a loop
End location: Ride is always a loop
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.

I mustache you a question: Would you like another mustache ride? Well we're gonna have one on Monday the 11th of August. This will be a 6 ish mile ride in SE PDX ending at a sloped grassy field near Mt Tabor. There will be one store stop at the Safeway on Hawthrone. This is a no-drop party-pace ride (10ish to 12ish mph). We will have treats that are hard to eat if you have a mustache! Feel free to bring your own to share. If you were there last year, this should be a pretty familiar experience. This ride is for both mustache havers and mustache appreciators. Everyone is welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of mustache, but we will have stick-ons for the willing.

ride leaves at 6pm sharp
End location: Cully Park
The annual taco ride is back - but in the interest of shaking things up a bit and scouting some new spots, we're headed northeast this year instead of north (!) We're gonna eat ~350 tacos from Northeast Portland's best tacquerias and food trucks. birria, shrimp, asada, chorizo, fish, chicken, veggie, relleno, mango habanero, carnitas and more. Wanna bike around and help us eat them? As per tradition, we'll meet at the Gazebo of Peninsula Park, but we're hoping to end in Cully Park this year. This is a slow, no-drop (no one left behind!), all-ages-and-abilities ride on flat neighborhood greenways and chill streets - it's about an ~10 mile, one-way ride. Please bring cash to hand to me at the beginning of the ride, or even better, venmo/paypal me some $ ahead of time (asking sliding scale $15-40 depending on how hungry you are/how generous you are). Proceeds go towards very generous tipping at each local business and anything left over ends up towards a lump sum donation to PCUN – Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste. Stay tuned - we'll update this page shortly with more information on the specific spots we're headed once the route is confirmed. We'll buy some vegetarian tacos, too, but to be clear, some of these places have better veggie tacos than others, so adjust expectations accordingly. venmo: @ambrown You don't *have* to RSVP, but it's strongly encouraged, especially if you want vegetarian tacos. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeemZxFRUgNwK3ojNPEDwNM5555UY-sS26WJy9A6dHe84QNnQ/viewform?usp=dialog

All rise for the Prince of Darkness!

Tue, Aug 12, 2025, 7:00 PM
Gather at 7pm, Ride at 7:30pm
A ride honoring the legacy of John Michael Osbourne; AKA Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness (December 3rd, 1948 - July 22nd, 2025). Metal and the sprawling community it encompasses wouldn't exist today without four people getting together in Birmingham, England in 1968 and trying something new. This ride serves as a space to celebrate the life of Ozzy Osbourne and the heavy metal community as a whole. Metal has had an immeasurable impact on my life and it only seems right to be in community with each other when one of the originators passes on. The final Black Sabbath show, "Back to the Beginning" was a fundraiser for three nonprofits doing excellent work, many Birmingham-based. In the spirit of that final act by Ozzy and Sabbath, all who are able are encouraged to donate to Birmingham Children's Hospital, Acorn Children's Hospice and Cure Parkinson's. With how much need there is across the globe, feel free to donate to any cause that speaks to you in honor of Ozzy and Black Sabbath. "For being the Prince of Darkness, he sure brought us a lot of light", all the way from Birmingham, England to Portland, Oregon. Donation Links: Birmingham Children's Hospital: https://support.bch.org.uk/donate/ Acorn Children's Hospice: https://www.acorns.org.uk/donate/ Cure Parkinson's: https://cureparkinsons.org.uk/get-involved/donate/ THEME: All things Ozzy. This ride will blast Ozzy's music, including both his records with Black Sabbath and solo material. Wearing Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne or other metal gear is encouraged. ROUTE: Route will be about 10-14 miles with a store stop, taking roughly 2ish hours in total. End spot TBD, might be a loop, might not be. Will be finalized prior to the ride. While the route won’t be posted beforehand, feel free to ask the ride leader about specifics at Oregon Park or the store stop if you have questions.

Last Saturday the 28th of June Benno Boy hit the Godzilla,King Kong and Gigantor of Potholes at SE 39th and Stark on the way to @biteonbelmont. After 22755 Miles and 8 wonderful years of Riding all over Portland Oregon, nearly 1000+ Group Bike Rides and probably around 300-400 Ride Leads during Pedalpalooza and Afterpalooza plus probably 2000 rides to Portlands Food Carts his frame gave up the ghost. I’m very sad to say Goodbye to my trusty steed as he had become a huge part of who I am. There will be a memorial ride to say goodbye and to welcome his successor on Wednesday August 13th (Mini Version) and Saturday August 23rd (Full Version) Thank you to all the incredible bike mechanics for keeping him running since he was purchased from The eBike Store May 4th 2017 you are heroes of the highest order. FYI - many of Benno Boys parts will live on in his successor. Thank you #bennoboy you will be missed. Benno Boys official last Bike Summer Ride Lead was the #BonbRelay on Friday June 27th. FYI - what does this ride include? If you know me my rides are equal parts of the following: Getting Lost (Get Lost Rides) Cool Streets (Streets that are not straight) Coolness or Hidden Portland Rides (Lots of Murals, Artwork, Colored Houses and fun found things) Light Brigade (Fun lit up rides) And Finally Foodie and Family Friendly Rides The Mini Memorial Ride will be a condensed (Mini) version of the larger ride on the 23rd staying in the inner city and wrapping up at the Duckworth Dock for a swim in the Willamette Please bring any photos and stories about Benno Boy

Thu, Aug 14, 2025, 7:00 PM
Meet at 7pm, ride at 7:30pm
Ride is a loop
Last year we had a blast with this ride and it’s a nice change of pace for a Thursday night, so BiciBuds are “taking over” RideSafePDX Thursday and taking you back to the 90s with the “The Pure Moods Ride: Volume II Edition” Imagine a world where time drifts slowly? A world where music carries you away….that 90s commercial that grabbed your attention at the oddest hours blaring loudly from your TV — no other collection of songs would give you the same experience? Direct from Europe, this album inspired us and we can’t wait to have you experience the nostalgia journey. Music will feature the classic songs from these amazing cd albums that came out in the 90s. Did you know that they released three different collections? Ride Leaders: BiciBuds (Máximo and Bryson) This is a no-drop ride, leisure 7-8 mph pace, route will be shared closer to the ride but about 8-10 miles in length with a brief store stop. No person will be left behind. Simply communicate to us if you need to leave the ride early. Safety: This ride intends to be a safe space. SHIFT Code of Conduct is important and implemented on these rides. No harassment, violence, racism, bigotry, transphobia, threats, or other actions that go against the SHIFT Code of Conduct will be accepted. Respect others and ask consent before touching another person or their belongings. If you experience or witness an issue, tell the ride leader and if SHIFT banned you as a rider, you are banned on this ride too.

Meet at 7:00, announcements at 7:30, leave after “Beer Minutes.”
End location: Not a loop, but usually with a fire.
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
⛲️ 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!
