We will ride to the Bicycle Film Fest through the part of the city that has been most filmed (other than the Witch's Castle!), the central east side and the Willamette River. We'll stop at several movie film locations and give up some of our secret film lore we have garnered while running tours and chatting with film types in the city. About Bicycle Film Festival's 2026 program: A moving and diverse collection of international short films explores the bicycle as a symbol of freedom in everyday life, taking viewers from the bustling streets of Lisbon to Palestine, to Portland, China’s markets, South Africa’s dynamic neighborhoods, and the remote mountains of Kyrgyzstan. PROGRAM 1, 6:30 p.m. features stories about: - The Gaza Sunbirds, founded in 2020 to put the power of the bicycle in the hands of people with disabilities. They are a network of athletes, professionals, and volunteers turning resilience into international representation, global advocacy, and lifesaving aid. They open pathways for amputated and otherwise disabled Palestinians to rehabilitate through sport, train, compete, and champion our collective cause. When Israel’s genocide erupted in October 2023, their riders pivoted from racing to aid, using the same bikes to reach bomb-scarred neighbourhoods with food, medicine, and hope. - An exquisite cinematic exploration of Ciclopes, a Lisbon initiative promoting youth mobility through bicycles. - Khaltsha Cycling Academy empowers young women to defy societal norms, find freedom, and dream beyond the limits of their neighborhood. - A journey through Kyrgystan long after the road has ended. - Guo Jie, one of the estimated 277 million rural migrant workers in China, piles as much styrofoam on her bike as possible to resell at a market. - And more! Program 2, 8:30pm - stories about: - A look into the life of a lifelong bicycle rider from racing BMX to riding the streets of New York City. - Nic overdoes it during a night out and is left to put the pieces together in the morning, including finding his bicycle. - An addicted biker runs out of cigarettes. He joins the race to get more, but has to accept help from some peculiar people in the audience to stay in the competition. - A key figure in Salt Lake's fixed gear community, her motivations for riding, and how the community has shaped her self-expression. - A meditation on presence in the city through the eyes of a professional BMX biker Chad Douglas. - Women, children and non-binary cyclists reclaim the streets of Mexico City against road rage and sexual violence, revindicating riding bicycles as a way of life, not a way to die. -And more! https://btt.boldtypetickets.com/events/183692857/bicycle-film-festival-portland Tickets to the festival can be purchased above

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 by 7:30, leave after “Beer Minutes.” 🕢 If you’re not at the fountain by 7:30, you may want to meet us at the next stop. 🧭 Live Location: https://ridewithgps.com/users/1303039/live_log ✨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

Thursday Night Ride

⛲️ 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!

Casual ride to art galleries for the First Friday Art Walk. First Friday Art Walk is a monthly tradition where art galleries stay open late, bring in artists, have free food, and have hands-on arts projects. http://firstfridaypdx.org/ Biking is the best way to get around to these wonderful galleries, as they're spread around inner SE/NE. We get to 5-8 galleries, depending on how long our group spends in each gallery. We don't know exact routes and galleries, because we decide in the moment. We'll stay out until ~9:30pm, then see if folks are up for a group dinner afterwards. Join for as many galleries as you like, and leave when you wish. If you have a sound system bring it! I love music on group bike rides. Ride details: 5-15 minutes of biking between galleries. Our ride is perfect for new cyclists and families with kids. We'll go at a slow pace so folks can socialize, and everyone can keep up. We'll use small neighborhood streets with minimal cars. The ride ends at a different location from the start. If you need advice for how to bike home afterwards, chat with the ride leader or other cyclists.

Friday night ride is a social ride for people who enjoy a sporty pace and adventurous routes. Every ride is different but generally range between 15 and 25 miles and you can expect some climbing and higher speeds than your average pedalpalooza ride. NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE. Riders should be self sufficient and have a plan for getting themselves home. This is a bicycle-forward group ride. Pedal-assist ebikes are ok (class 1 & 2). Throttle heavy, high speed battery powered motor bikes are not (class 3 & 4). If you're not pedaling it’s not a bicycle and you will asked to leave. Bring lights/locks/responsible vibes/a cup/ Casual pace with some extra zip 10-20ish mile rides with store stops/park stops/art stops NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Be careful of slippery roads/leafs on ground/pot holes. Call out road hazards to help bike friends stay safe. 2nd Fridays are MMR - later night vibes to make it to Midnight Mystery Ride. If you want to lead a ride just ask! REPEAT… NOT NECESSARILY A NO DROP RIDE… ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL/WINTER/SPRING. Guest ride leaders wanted and appreciated! Instagram @fridaynightride

This ride is not a ride for the distance, nor a ride for speed. This is a ride of support, a ride of energy, and a ride of cheer for someone who is a friend of Ride Westside, experiencing her own struggles with mental health. It's going to start at Quatama MAX, taking the Rock Creek Trail, passing by her apartment, and then turning around at Evergreen Park using the circle. We're going to stop by the driveway in front of her apartment, doing a couple laps, to bring all the energy, positive vibes, and cheers to help lift her spirits. If you have anything to bring that shows support for mental health, like a shirt, flag, etc, please bring them along for this ride. Even simply wearing green, the colour for mental health awareness is enough. If you don't have green, you could bring something Chappell Roan, Weezer, Rabbits, or Audi related, because those are things she loves. You can also fly a Bi flag, as she is Bi. Nothing is required, but I would really appreciate it. I plan to do this ride as a series throughout the month. Additionally, for those interested in going to the Beaverton Foodie Ride later, there WILL be enough time for people in this ride to head over to theirs.

The Five Oaks Triple Creek Neighborhood is hosting a relaxed group bike ride along the Beaverton Powerline Trail, highlighting some of these eateries along the way.

Ride bikes around SE Portland with Kidical Mass! Put on your superhero costume to celebrate Free Comic Book Day with a family-friendly bike ride to our favorite comic shop. We’ll ride from the Sunnnyside School playground to Books With Pictures across from Abernethy School on neighborhood greenways and quiet streets, while listening to superhero music. This is a free event, and kids can get free sample comics! But you might want to bring money buy a book or snack at the food cart behind the shop. Your ride leaders will be dressing up as comic book superheros, but you can also be any kind of comic character or just ride as you are. The ride is a loop, 2 miles each way with a break at the comic shop and food carts in the middle, so it’s suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike. We ride at a moderate pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to ride in a straight line without training wheels, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal. Corker are welcome to be a traffic safety superhero. We’ll ride together as a group, rain or shine, because kids are traffic too! Route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46251769

PREPARE FOR ANOTHER COUNTRY MUSIC RIDE! More description to be added soon! Meet at 5pm, boots rolling at 530pm From Moorland: Ella’s music choice is the upbeat, pop, boot kicking heel stomping vibe that’s just about screams ‘light the fire, crack open a beer and let’s wait for the stars and have fun with our friends’. My music contributions is the antithesis of ‘Bro country’ and is renowned artists like Benjamin Todd, Margo Price, Charlie Crockett and others from the new ‘outlaw/troubadour scene’. The music is often upbeat but the lyrical content can be pretty dark and often deal with the struggle of life… However, like with the Emo Vs old Emo ride the majority of the playlist will be Ella’s because the vibe is just so good. As with all NakedHearts rides we practice consent and non-violence this applies to all interactions. As we ride our behavior effects how other rides are viewed and received. We host weekly rides on Mondays at Abernethy school that meet at 7:00pm and ride at 7:30pm….

Meeting up at 7:30pm for the ride, Kickstands up TBD Our first saturday club ride is back again this time we gonna METAL before we PEDAL! So oil up your wheels and air up your cranks! 🎸🦗 Join us at the start for a free entry live band before we ship off into the unknown. Freak bikes encouraged, all are welcome, don't be a cranky busted bike!

Welcome to Mellow Mondays 2026. Are you interested in leading a ride? This is a supportive and organized way to lead for the first time. Every week there’s different themes but there are constants…. Slow pace, about 8 mph, Distance varies but approx 10 miles, Family friendly, We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides, Store stop for safe clean bathroom access but generally we try and make these stops short, Skater friendly (but please check with ride leader about crunchy or potential issues for skates), ALL Wheels friendly (scooter, skates, skateboard, e bikes etc), Ride is always a loop, Corking and traffic intersections are calm. Be mindful of smoking around others and do not smoke around children. FAQ, Can I bring a speaker? Yes but please speak to the ride leader and play the music they’ve carefully selected or what their preference is. Can I lead a ride? Yes, please attend a few first and get a feel for how the rides are. I’ve heard NakedHearts supports other rides? Yes, we can help with planning, encouragement, promotion, sound support and what not. What do you mean you practice consent? We ask everyone (even friends, relatives, husbands and wives with each other) to ask for permission before touching anyone else or their belongings and when asking to seek listen and empower ‘No’. What do you mean you practice Non-violence? We specifically expect everyone to be calm, kind and respectful with all car interactions. One riders aggression to a car driver can put everyone else at risk. We live in a small city and are bound to encounter the same drivers again. Are all your rides a protest? Yes, being together with respect and acceptance and finding comfort and joy around others and strangers is an act of protest against the divisive paradigm we are in.

Bike to Books Family Ride

The bike community sadly lost one of our own in a bike crash earlier this year. Mike Sloan was riding on the 50s Greenway when he crashed while crossing SE Division Street. Witnesses report that Mike's bike began to wobble and then fall over when he rode into the intersection after waiting to get a green light. A memorial service will be held at the crash site, along with the permanent installation of a ghost bike. This is a bike that Mike rode and was recently being used as a trainer in his basement. Mike was a long-term member and active ride leader in the Portland Bicycle Club. As a highly experienced rider, he regularly went for 30+ mile rides around Portland. He was near the end of a 35-mile ride when the wreck occurred. Also a keen bicycle tourist, he had ridden (with his daughter) from San Diego, CA to St. Augustine, FL in just 30 days. After the ghost bike installation there will be a memorial bike ride to honor Mike. This will be a 37-mile ride along one of his favorite loop routes, but it will also include a shorter 5-mile loop for those who don't want to do the longer distance. The memorial and ghost bike installation will start at 11am at SE Division St & SE 52nd Ave, followed by the bike ride from that same location. Both the long and short rides will return there. We hope to see all who wish to honor Mike at this event and to hear remembrances of his life.
