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!

Do you get over-zealous and buy too many seeds this time of year? Do you have a box (drawer??) overflowing with packets of seeds that you’ll probably never plant? Do you wish you could buy 4 pumpkin seeds instead of 40? Bring those half packets or maybe expired seed packets and let’s trade! Definitely bring those delicata seeds that have been passed down through generations. Let’s talk plants and techniques and how the heck to keep your tomatoes from getting blossom end rot. We’ll ride bikes and find somewhere to sit down to chat and trade. Might be outside, might be a bar or cafe depending on the weather.

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>

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.
