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.

New tradition just dropped: Thursday evening protest rides with the Revolutionary Bicycle Club! This week we're heading to THE SOCIETY HOTEL to MAKE SOME NOISE! That's right, it's a noise protest! Bring your speakers and accordions and cowbells and ding-dings and ding-dongs and crashy whatsits. Raise your voice against repression (from PDX to Palestine). -WHY THE SOCIETY HOTEL?- Jessie Burke, owner of the Society Hotel and chair of the Old Town Community Association, is waging war against local mutual aid groups. She opened a bougie hotel in a neighborhood that has long had a high concentration of services and mutual aid for unhoused people– aid that is crucial at a time when there are thousands more unhoused people in Portland than there are shelter beds, and unchecked rent hikes and inflation has caused the unhoused population to grow at an alarming rate (the fastest growing category of which is retired people who lost their housing because their fixed incomes couldn't keep up with the cost of living). Rather than being a good neighbor to mutual aid groups in old town, Jessie Burke has used her connections with cops and conservative politicians (she is the former campaign manager of DA Nathan Vasquez) to try and criminalize their work. She has been calling the cops on people just trying to give out free meals and supplies (which isn't illegal) while also using her position to influence politics in the interest of her business. Portland needs more mutual aid and compassion, not more businesses that cater to tourists. We can't fight fascism on a national level if we don't take care of each other on a local level. Meet us at Revolution Hall at 5:15 to chat with us about protest security and share snacks/stickers/etc. We'll be rolling out of Revolution Hall promptly at 5:30, so if you're running late please just head straight to the Society Hotel. PLEASE NOTE: Masks are required when we arrive at the hotel, and we'll have some on hand for those who need one. Masking at protests is encouraged both for security reasons and for stopping the spread of covid in crowds. We will leave it up to individuals to decide whether they mask on the ride over. All protests carry some risk of arrest/police violence so we ask that you understand your own acceptable risk levels before you join us and carefully consider bringing children or animals along. Viva la revolution!

You made it to Friday! 0DTE ! Let's finish up another great work week in Portland ! By now you know what time it is... time to start riding bicycles again! Typical plan is to arrive SW Main & 1st Ave by 9am, every Friday, so be good to yourself and ride with me. And then you can 1) ride to your own job, 2) ride back home & start your weekend 3) ride somewhere new that you've been wanting to explore ! 4) ride the rainbow ! If you need to be downtown by 8:30 then email me and I'll likely bump up the time 1/2 hour If you need to be downtown by 8:00 then start you own ride :) We'll meet at Holladay Park, ride west on Multnomah Blvd, turn left thru the TriMet street and cross the Willamette on lower deck of Steel Bridge. The SB on Naito Parkway to Salmon Street Springs.

Learn about bike maintenance and bring your bicycle with you to get some hands-on experience doing basic repairs! We'll go over the major systems on a bike, learn how to do some simple adjustments and have time to practice flat repair. You're encouraged to bring your bike and any specific questions about issues you might have, but it's not required for attendance. Free and open to everyone. Made possible with support from the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund.

The news is pretty grim these days. If Congress won't act, how can anyone stop a hostile government takeover by Nazis? That's where we, the people, need to learn from our history and stand strong against the tyranny. #TeslaTakedown is a grass-roots leaderless movement to take down Elon Musk's greatest source of wealth: his over-inflated car company. Join us for a short ride from Floyd's Coffee in Ladd's Circle to the South Waterfront Tesla showroom to protest against Tesla and Elon Musk. We will be at Floyd's at 9 AM with sign-making materials if you would like to make a sign (and support a local business!) Ride will leave promptly at 10:30 AM to join the protest (11 AM to 1 PM). For more information, or for flyers that you can print out to give to your neighbors, check out: TeslaTakedown.com -- FAQ's -- WHY WILL THIS WORK? Tesla is not a very profitable company, and is primarily a MEME stock. That means the value of the stock is not based on the actual sales of vehicles or cash it's making, but instead based on the hype. Tesla stock is already down 30% since the start of this year, sales are down over 40% in Europe, and are dropping in the US. If public sentiment about the company continues to decline and fewer people decide to buy Teslas (which are poorly made vehicles, btw), the hype-bubble will pop and the stock price with it. HOW WILL THIS WORK? By making sure the public knows owning a Tesla will make you a pariah in polite society. Protesting in front of the showrooms will make people think twice about buying a Tesla, and they will likely decide to purchase an EV from one of the dozens of other models that don't have the stigma attached (or even opt for a E-Bike!) WHAT SHOULD I BRING? Mostly yourself! If you have markers, poster boards, or other sign-making equipment, feel free to bring it and come make a sign with us at Floyd's starting at 9 AM. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO DE-NAZIFY OUR GOVERNMENT? 1. SHARE Let your friends and family know what you're up to, and invite them to come! Everyone is welcome. 2. SELL If you or someone you know owns Tesla stock, SELL NOW. The Tesla bubble is popping, as the stock is down over 30% so far this year. While a typical company's Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio tends to be between 7 (including Ford and other automakers) and 30 (including tech giants Google and Microsoft), Tesla is trading at over 300 P/E ratio. Tesla is trading not based on the current value, but based on fantasy of what it might be worth in the future. You and your friends should not expose itself to the major downside of Tesla correcting to a "normal" P/E ratio, which would mean the stock would be trading below 10% of its current value. Additionally, if you know of someone who owns a Tesla, encourage them to sell it and trade up for an E-Bike or Electric Cargo Bike (or one of the many other better EV's on the market)! 3. DIVEST If you don't own stocks directly, but have your retirement funds in an index or mutual fund, write to your financial advisor encouraging them to divest from Tesla. There's a simple form letter below you can use. 4. BOYCOTT If you know someone in the market for a car who is thinking about buying a Tesla, tell them to READ THE NEWS, and don't buy cars from Nazis. ---- SHORT LETTER --- Dear <INVESTMENT FIRM>, I am very concerned about my retirement funds being invested in Tesla, Inc., and I am urging you to divest completely from Tesla. In February, the California Public Employees Retirement System sold 50% of their holdings in Tesla (Source: https://www.tipranks.com/news/largest-u-s-pension-sells-tesla-tsla-stock). It is critical to divest from this company, given the shifting public sentiment. The Tesla bubble is popping, as the stock is down over 30% so far this year. While a typical company's Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio tends to be between 7 (including Ford and other automakers) and 30 (including tech giants Google and Microsoft), Tesla is trading at over 300 P/E ratio. Tesla is trading not based on the current value, but based on fantasy of what it might be worth in the future. Tesla sales are already down over 40% in Europe, and are falling here in the US as well. My retirement funds should not be exposed to the major downside of Tesla correcting to a "normal" PE ratio, which would mean the stock would be trading well below 10% of its current value. Please divest my retirement funds from Tesla. Sincerely, <YOUR NAME>

It's spring! Let's look at some cherry blossoms and other sweet spring blooms while listening to Twee. What is Twee? People may have their own interpretation, but for this ride it's late 90's and early/mid 2000's indie rock/post-riot grrrl/ indie-brit-pop. Here are some artists for reference: Heavenly, Belle and Sebastian, Tullycraft, The Pastels, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Camera Obscura, Dressy Bessy, and more! (Also playing twee-adajacent tunes) Twee to me is the perfect soundtrack to spring, with its sweet, earnest, hopeful, and sometimes messy and self deprecating sounds. Put on your cutest pastel sweater, a wool cardigan, your favorite patterned socks, and let's have a cute wholesome time. Ride will start at Oregon park, ride through some cute houses and front yards in Irvington/ kerns, store stop for tea and snacks, and then end at water front, where we will hangout with the cherry trees. Route will be 7-10 miles, chill pace. Bring your speakers to join the Spotify jam!
