Details of the ride from ride leader Robin. “ People can struggle with various challenges in their lives for which they feel shame and this can cause them to hide (“mask”) themselves from the rest of the world. These can range from anxiety, depression or anger to childhood trauma, physical abuse, emotional abuse or substance abuse to physical ailments and chronic pain; even to struggling with feelings of joy and love. Masking is a very distressful and unhealthy experience for many people, including myself. And in hiding ourselves, while we may feel protected, we are deeply suffering. We are depriving ourselves and the rest of the world of a great gift…our most authentic being. The bonds we create by letting others know whom we are and the joy that we can bring to the world through this form of intimacy are truly invaluable. The purpose of this ride is to create a safe space for people to practice vulnerability through sharing their stories with others and actively listening to others’ stories. No one is required to share; there is great vulnerability in simply showing up and being present. We will have 2 to 3 stops where we can share and listen to experiences in groups of 4 to 5 people, as well as a short store stop. There are a few additional rules associated with this ride in order to create a safe space for vulnerability to occur: Once the ride begins, what is said on the ride, stays on the ride. This is a confidential space and that relies on our mutual respect for each other and this boundary. If someone shares something on the ride that resonates with you, while it may be tempting to continue a conversation with them outside of this ride, please ask that person first if it is OK to speak with them about something that you heard them share. They may not wish to discuss the topic any further beyond the boundary of this ride. This is a space for sharing our experiences and practicing active listening. Only one person speaks at a time. While we may be tempted to cross-talk, offering advice and solutions to others’ challenges, we are going to refrain from these practices. While our intent is to be helpful, eliminating the possibility of judgment felt through advice and solutions is more helpful to creating a safe space for vulnerability.” As with all NakedHearts rides we practice consent and non-violence. Please don’t touch others or their property without asking and listening for ‘no’, please be respectful of drivers and if corking do so calmly.

Bike Happy Hour

*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.

Yo! The days are getting longer and the weather isn’t freezing!!! Thank goodness, y’all! With this being said there’s no excuse to not come out and challenge yourself to new territory and meet some new folks. Always adventurous and always with a no-drop mentality. Take the MAX or bus if Beaverton seems too far!! We start and stop the ride there across the street!! All terrain types explored! Have fun!

Are you an acoustic guitar playing, flamenco dancing, bicycle riding person in Portland ?!?!? Let's meet up at Peninsula Park play some guitar, do some dancing, and then ride bikes (for 3.5 miles) to Bar Botellon (606 NE Davis) for a FREE, two hour show by Espacio Flamenco that starts at 7pm. P.S.I don't play guitar but I'll have a flamenco play list and speaker, just in case musicians do not arrive :)

Rollout from CyclepathPDX at 9:00 am, rain or shine. Led by the Bicycle Attorney Cycling Team, this is a road-bike friendly event at endurance pace and is a NO-DROP ride. Terrain, surface, and route vary every second Sunday of the month, but usually ends up being 30-40 miles. Specific route will be updated closer to the date.

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.

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! Everyone welcome. Every 2nd and 4th Monday, 4:30 to 7 p.m. 2/10 and 2/24 3/10 and 3/24 4/14 and 4/28

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.

Bike Happy Hour

To celebrate 100 bi-weekly rides we are going to host a spoke card bike chat event at BG's Food Cartel! (Same spot as the Westside Bike Happy Hour). We will provide the laminator and the sheets and you bring the ideas and markers/crayons/pens/blood or whatever else you wanna bring to make some art. Keep them for yourself or exchange them with friends! Hell, exchange them with people you meet at the event! This isn't a ride but we encourage you to take public transit, the location is right next to Beaverton Central MAX stop and about 4 blocks from Beaverton Transit Center, or even ride your bike there. We have many ideas for this year and hope to see you there and plan with us!
