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

Bike Happy Hour

Join Nomad Cycles and the e-bike community on our monthly East side e-bike ride! Come with a full battery to ride with the ease only an electric bike can offer. We will meet up at the outdoor seating of 5846 NE Sandy Blvd starting at 6 and ride at 6:30, meandering around interesting city terrain with an opportunity or two to climb hills effortlessly and open that throttle if you so desire. Distance is dependent on the demeanor of the crowd so we may take breaks at concession stops or patios if desired. This is a consistent monthly ride held on every third Wednesday of the month. Frequently Woman led and all are welcome, this is an inclusive ride that is treated as a safe space.

Get your friends and come out and ride while making new friends! A faster paced and more adventurous group ride with a no drop mentality. We meet up across the street from bike shed at Beaverton Transit Center. Check us out on Instagram @cyclecatspdx for intel on the ride. Hope to see you out there.

*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. Also, another slide show on Wednesday March 5th. Same time, same place.

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 Palm Tree Ride celebrates 20 years! I've been doing every year (well, except 2 or 3) since 2005. The premise, as always, is the same: An approximately 10 mile casual bicycle ride (not a loop) exploring the palm trees around town, with some other exotics and evergreens thrown in, like eucalypts, madronas, yuccas, Oregon myrtles, and more. These trees and shrubs keep the city green through our grey and cool winter months, when all the deciduous trees have dropped their leaves. Seeing a bunch of them in the middle of winter brightens the mood, and reminds us that winter here may not be as bad as we feel. For this one we will mostly follow the route of the first ride. Using photos from the 2005 ride, we'll see what's changed and what's remained. After the ride ends there will be an option for interested folks to get food and libations. Ride will happen in good weather or a bit of rain. Heavy rain or wintry conditions can postpone this event, I'll announce any changes within 24 hours of the start time, check back here for deets.

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.
