Bike Summer calendar

From July 13-August 17, we'll be leading a bike bus to Sellwood Park every Monday morning. This year we're excited to announce an extra bonus: Everyone 14 or under who joins us gets a raffle ticket to win a FREE WOOM BIKE, and other prizes. The winner will have their choice of a Woom Go (for kids 1.5 to 8 years old) or a Woom Explore (for kids 6 to 14). Each time a child joins us, even if they're riding with an adult, they'll get a raffle ticket. The more times you ride, the more chances to win. The Bike Bus is being coordinated with the Sellwood Community House for their summer camps, but you don't need to go to the camp to join us and get a raffle ticket. Every Monday morning the Bike Bus will leave from in front of Llewellyn Elementary School, ride a loop on bike-friendly roads and greenways, and end at Sellwood Park where Sellwood Community House has activities planned all day. The rides will be family-friendly, with music, and an adult ride leader and caboose rider. Helmets are required for anyone under 16 years old. Kids riding on their own bike should be at least 8 years old and able to ride for a couple miles. Younger kids may join with parental support. Parents are encouraged and welcome to attend. All bikes should be in good condition. The pace will be fairly slow, and nobody will be dropped. The Bike Bus will only go to Sellwood Community House and Sellwood Park; riders will return on their own. Below is the Bike Bus schedule. The route is the same as last year, but will leave earlier to get to Sellwood Park by 9 am. Riders can join at any of the stops along the route.     8:30 am - Leave from the front of Llewellyn Elementary School on SE 14th Ave     8:35 am - SE 19th & SE Claybourne St     8:40 am - SE 19th & SE Spokane St     8:45 am - At Sellwood Middle School, SE Umatilla St & SE 15th Ave     8:50 am - Arrive at Sellwood Community House at SE 15th & SE Spokane St     8:55 am - Arrive at Sellwood Park on SE 7th Ave

It's been a minute (since June of 2019), but it is time to do another @sidewalkingpdx tour of interesting and humorous sidewalk stamps. Here is the description of the first version: https://www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/event-11972 It will be an easy family-friendly ride, SE and NE.

@sidewalkingpdx

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.

Come dressed as your favorite McConaughey - creeper from Dazed and Confused? RomcomConaughey? Dallas Buyers Club? Magic Mike? Lincoln Lawyer? Bongos McConaughey? (Please cover up your bits if you go with that one.) This ride makes only right turns - if we need to turn left, TOO BAD! We're gonna chain a buncha right turns together instead. Ride leader is notoriously terrible about planning routes, so be prepared for some chaos. Not opera ride level, but nobody can match that level of CHAOOOOOSSSS. This is the theme for Mellow Monday - respect other riders and drivers, don't touch people or their belongings without consent, and banned riders are banned here.

Rescheduled for next Tuesday (11th)You're unemployed and so am I. Lets ride south down to Oregon city and check out the falls and lunch!! Come prepared, we'll be doing around 25 to 30 mile loop.

Attempt FIVE repeats on SE 52nd Avenue from Harney to Flavel Drive from 12:30pm - 1pm every Tuesday of Pedalpalooza. This is a unique ride in that we don't meet to start, just show up and ride up the hill over and over, each at our own pace. Earn a shiny hill killerz sticker! You agree to follow these rules just by showing up: 1) No complaining 2) Do whatever you want 3) Do not sue me

Portland By Cycle

This 8.5-mile, casually paced ride led by BikeLoud volunteers is an exploration of some brand-new greenways in SE Portland! We'll take a few short detours to learn tips for crossing streets more safely, to see special art installations and eco gardens, and to explore two really creative playgrounds. A picture taken of one school's art was accused of being AI generated when posted. It's that special, and has a very brief viewing window! This alone is worth coming to see! The other playground has musical equipment, spinners, a labyrinth, and a four-person seesaw! We'll also show you where to find bathrooms, and end the ride at the bike-friendly Hinterland Food Carts for anyone who wants to stay and grab a bite together afterward. So come ready to let your inner kid out to play while learning how to get around the 60s and 70s neighborhood streets and ride a portion of the new SE Tolman Street Greenway. This will become a major new east-west greenway you will want to know about, extending from SE 52nd Avenue to SE 92nd Avenue. Come join me and Lady Max— we hope to see you on the ride! BIKELOUD promotes bicycle transportation in Portland by empowering riders and creating safe streets for people. Check out resources and volunteer opportunities on bikeloudpdx.org.

Ride with us as we journey to the future, the distant year 1997. We'll be pedaling through the wasteland to a very 80's soundtrack as we make our way scavenging through Portland. We LOVE scavenging! Come prepared with your wheels, helmets, double-hammers, gnomesticks, Turbo Rider comics, unicorns, or pick up anything cool you find along the way. Watch out for mutant rats and anyone who looks evil! Bring as much water as you'll need and remember the 7 rules! Be mindful of everyone's personal bubble and get ready to find some new friends! We'll end the ride with an outdoor screening of the 2015 classic film, Turbo Kid. Let's make it memorable. If you're banned from any other rides you're also banned here.

We have a fun one lined up for you! We are actually starting from a different transit center, further west, and then riding back to the Beaverton Transit Center! It will lead us 16-17 miles back to B.T.C. and an elevation gain of about 500 feet! Not a lot to it. This is a ride we haven't done in a while so you don't want to miss it! Cha, dude! And the leader says, “July 29: Hidden Creek from Quatama Station 16.8mi/480’ Join us at a different starting point, Quatama Station, for a visit with a forest giant and the usual funny business as we make our way back to Beaverton Transit Center.”

Meet up with other bikey folks in Tigard! Grab a bite or get a drink. NA options available. Let's talk about making Tigard better for everyone! 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month. A short ride around Tigard at 6:30!

Have you ever found yourself in a public park thinking "Hmmm, I wonder if this park was named after a violently racist white dude who died in a stupid way back in the 1800s?" PCHRP (the Portland Committee for Human Rights in the Philippines) has had many thoughts like this, and they're going to take us on a ride to learn about how some of their FAVORITE PARKS 💕🌲🌳 are named after some of their LEAST FAVORITE COLONIZERS🙅‍♂️👎🏾❌ We'll jam out to Filipino music while we ride, and at each stop we'll dig into some of the dark history of Portland's parks/monuments. We'll also learn how the Filipino people and allies are organizing for pro-people spaces! It is highly likely that some snacks will be provided. Easy pace, no drop, kiddos welcome and corkers appreciated. An important note: we don't fuck with Spotify and don't use it for our ride playlists. It has deep investor ties to the US/Israel war machine, treats its artists poorly, and is actively making music stupider with its AI algorithm. If you wanna sync up with our playlists, let us know in advance so we can find the best way to share.

Not to be confused with the TWEED ride, this ride is for the softies. And the Softies. I mean, you can wear tweed but it's probably gonna be toasty. This ride will celebrate pure perfect pop music. We'll listen to bands like Tiger Trap, The Softies, Allo Darlin', Cub, Heavenly, The Lucksmiths, and even music made in the 21st century like Slippers and Croutons. If you don't like the song, just wait three minutes and we'll move on to the next. We'll go slow, we'll meander, we'll look at pretty things and ride our bikes on a perfect summer evening. If we have time, we'll see some distant ships and do a little pining for days gone by. Okay but what's Twee? YOU DIDN'T LISTEN? Here, have a read of this 21 year old primer: https://pitchfork.com/features/article/6176-twee-as-fuck/

Join us for the almost 4th annual Midwesterners Ride (I missed hosting last year). Calling all Midwest transplants to Portland. You count even if you lived in Chicago for only 3 months when you were 21, or if you were born in South Dakota but moved before you could walk. Heck, youbetcha count if you're just Midwest curious! Like last time, bring your best potluck contribution (hot dish, beer brats, scotcheroos, New Glarus, Cincinnatti chili, etc) and wear something that shows your Midwest pride. We'll eat, ride (follow the cheeshead!) and stop halfway for some short card games (20 minutes or so). Bring a deck and show off your best euchre, gin rummy, or whatever card game your aunt and uncle played while drinking old fashioned’s. (It's okay if you don't know games- a friendly midwesterner will teach you!) We'll end at the Midwest inspired Jerry’s Tavern (optional) for ongoing hanging. We might argue about the exact boundaries of the Midwest, whether it is "soda" or "pop," and which state is best (obviously Wisconsin) but what we agree on: It's not the heat, it's the humidity. I heard some people made best friends on this ride in past years and I hope it happens again! I better not keep ya. See ya soon, ope!

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, rolling out from Salmon Street Springs every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic, party-paced social ride with warmth and weirdness from our welcoming “rolling dive bar” regulars. Most rides feature regularly spaced park and store stops, generally leading to a lively end spot around 11 PM. Come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. Strong Thursday traditions, stronger shared expectations. While you might see some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct. If you’ve been asked not to attend *any* Shift rides, you are not welcome at TNR—that’s not up for debate on our ride. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. TNR works best when everyone helps set the tone and shares responsibility. Look out for each other, welcome new riders and help them find the next stop, leave it better than you found it, give people space when they need it, and help keep the ride moving forward together by practicing 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 after 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. 🧭 Ride Tracker: https://thursdaynightride.com/tracker https://ridewithgps.com/users/1303039/live_log

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!

Thursday nights. Hard start at 8:05 PM. It's almost the weekend, so let's ride bikes. We roll from and return to Columbia Park (meet in front of the pool) for an hour-ish ramble through North Portland and beyond. No agenda beyond riding bikes with good people on a summer evening. Expect roughly 10 miles at a conversation-friendly pace (~10 mph). We usually have a brief rest stop along the way for snacks, stretching, high fives, admiring a weird tree, taking in a panoramic view, or whatever else seems important at the time. This is a no-drop ride. Basket bikes, ATBs, all-road bikes, cruisers, "gravel" bikes, fancy bikes, old bikes, rusty bikes, whatever. If your bike can comfortably cruise at ~10 mph for an hour, it’ll be fine. Bring:
-Front and rear lights (required)
-Snacks if you'd like
-water or optional beverage, maximum vibes (no store stop). Meet: 7:45 PM
. Roll: 8:05 PM sharp
. Start & Finish: Columbia Park, in front of the pool. Come meet your neighbors and see what North Portland looks like after dark. Happy Hour last Thur of each month: 7/30 (6pm at Chill & Fill), 8/27 (TBD), 9/24 (TBD), 10/29 (TBD). Check back for happy hour location(s). https://www.iqair.com/air-quality/usa/oregon/portland https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/

Celebrate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Dress as Turtles, Casey Jones, or the Foot. We'll ride to landmark locations. Meet at April O'Neil's thrift store at 5:30. At 6pm, we ride to Shredder and Krang's hideout... I'm hoping we'll spot them. By 7:30pm, we'll end at Secret Pizza Society, Portland's best pizza place! I don't have music, so feel free to bring yours. Ride details: My ride is good for new cyclists and families with kids. We go at a slow pace so folks can socialize, and everyone can keep up. We use small neighborhood streets with minimal cars. When we mix with cars, we stay together as a group. The end spot is 2.5 miles from the start. After pizza, if you need to return to the starting point but aren't comfortable riding back on your own, talk to the ride leader about options, or I can likely ride back with you. If you're the original tmnt ride leader, I'll yield to you. I'm doing this because I haven't seen it on the calendar for a few years.

Portland Bicycle School... laws for driver/cyclist interactions

Do you love CAKE (the band)? Do you love cake (the food)? Then you will love this ride madly. Roll along in your short skirt and long jacket while listening to the sweet, sweet tunes of Sacramento’s best export. We will go the distance, listening to CAKE’s entire studio album catalog, back to front. There will be a vibraslap! We will give away a tree! Ditch the stickshifts and safety belts, the long line of cars, and the unbearable carbon monoxide as you embrace your rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle and keep your wheels spinning round. There will also be a cake break! Bring a cake (or cupcakes) to share at the park stop or at the ride finish to prolong the magic. We will have plates and forks but BYO to reduce waste. Also BYO trumpet. We’ll roll at a casual pace with re-groups so everyone can stick together for a ~14-mile ride. Park stop halfway through at Lincoln City Park (SE 135th and Mill). There’s one hill of size and a few short gravel bits. Come at 6pm if you want to tune in to 2011's Showroom of Compassion. Bring lights for your bike since it will get dark about halfway through. We will have two trailers, one towing a giant sound system and the other towing a giant papier-mâché cake which will hold actual cake inside it and display CAKE album visuals. Even though we will go at a social pace and frequently regroup, if you get a flat / have a mechanical problem, the ride is not going to stop for you, so plan to take transit home.

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

Metalheads: gather at Oregon Park on Friday, August 14th for one of the heaviest rides of the year, celebrating the most brutal genre of music - Death Metal! This will be a shorter version than the 2025 edition. THEME: Death Metal! This ride will be set to a soundtrack of death metal, with tracks from its' origins to the present. Expect a playlist of old school, brutal, technical, progressive, cosmic, cavernous, grinding, slamming, gore-soaked death metal (although probably no deathcore, sorry!). Break out your best battle jacket/vest or other death metal gear for this ride. This is a curated playlist, so please refrain from conflicting sounds/bringing your own playlist. ROUTE: Route will be about 13 miles with a store stop, taking roughly 2ish hours in total. Ride may or may not be a loop, but won't end more than a mile from the start point. This will be a social-paced, no-drop ride moving at about 8-12mph. All wheels welcome. While the route won’t be posted beforehand, feel free to ask the ride leader about specifics at Oregon Park or the store stop if you have questions. See you in the pit! --------- We take the Shift2Bikes Code of Conduct seriously - respect your neighbors on and off the ride. This is also a leave no trace ride; we leave places cleaner than we found them.

Special this month, your leader encourages you to bring a hammock or blanket for end spot depending on weather. Leave no trace - pack in what you pack out, wherever we end.

Join us for the fifth (maybe?) Pedalpalooza Portland Boring Portland, a brisk ride down to the Springwater, out to Boring, and back for about 39 miles. In the sprit of its French namesake, food is a ride feature. We'll start near a French bakery, end near a coffee shop, and hit a few food spots along the way. We'll have multiple gather spots along the way for people to catch up. All are welcome. If you're an ancien or ancienne (that's a Paris-Brest-Paris finisher), bring your jersey, rando bike, PBP signage, or stories. Any style of human powered bike is welcome, though randonneuring is the style of the day. Please bring tools to fix a flat or any other sort of mechanical that may happen. Pay attention to the forecast, and ensure you are prepared for the distance and weather. Paris Brest Paris is the oldest recurring organized bike ride in the world, having started in 1891 as an audacious 1200km physical challenge with cash prizes. Bicycles were high tech, and endurance events were the rage. PBP is now held as an amateur event every 4 years. 2027 is the next PBP year.

My name is Aaron and I want to make a one night trip out to Vernonia via the Tualatin Valley Scenic Bikeway and would love some company. I’m going to take the MAX out to Hillsboro and ride from there. Will make a stop on the way at a brewery in Forest Grove for some lunch. Camping at the campground right at the end of the trail in Vernonia. We’ll be going into Vernonia for dinner and beers. Really hope some people are able to make it. Would be really fun. Length will be over 100 miles total for the two days. (Out and back) Easy terrain. No real hills. Pace is as easy or as hard as we make it. Just out to have fun.

Rawr! Of course she's a Leo. Our girl Grocery Outlet is turning 80 on Saturday, August 15th! And hey--it's my birthday, too, so let's party! Join me for a fun and slow ride to the SE 72nd & Flavel Grocery Outlet while we rock out to some of your favorite grocery store bangers. Our playlist features songs from the Supremes to Tears for Fears to Des'ree -- what year is it?? Who knows! Time is meaningless in the cereal aisle. BONUS: My girlfriend's Sicilian pizzeria and bakery, @eatmypiepizzeria, will have a special popup at Gross Out so bring an appetite for the world's best cinnamon rolls, cannoli, pizza, savory or sweet galettes (or both!), etc. We'll bop over to Brentwood Park to eat pastries or stuff you've grabbed inside G.O. and then head back to the start. Come early with your coffee! We're starting at the 8/15 @pdxcoffeeoutside location. Coffee Outside starts at 9am: "Bring coffee / brew kit or 🍩 to trade for ☕️!"

We’ll meet at Doe Donuts where you can get some vegan donuts, ice cream, or beverages. Ride leader will get some donuts to share. The ride will be 5-6 miles with a stop at Coe Circle before ending back at Doe Donuts for post-ride refreshments. We’ll bring some small aloe plants to share. We can play a little tic-tac-toe. It would be cool if anyone brought an oboe to play. Feel free to tiptoe during the ride. This is a Vegan Bike Club PDX ride. Everyone is welcome, but please keep things vegan on the ride.

Gather at Willshire Park at 3:15, depart at 3:30 for a pint at the Sports Bra to depart at 4:45 for Providence Park via the Broadway Bridge. If you want a return ride after the match, please let the ride leaders know. :) We ride rain or shine! Don't forget a lock and lights for the ride home. Please refer to the list of prohibited items to avoid frustration at the Providence Park gate. https://images.mlssoccer.com/image/upload/v1625889187/assets/por/PDFs/FanPolicies-2020_v5pzgp.pdf

Mosaic is an ancient artform made by placing tiny pieces into a mortar on a surface and sealing them together to create a pleasing image. These fragments, called tesserae, can be made of tile, glass, stone, discarded shards of pottery - WHATEVER the maker has on hand. This art form lends itself well both to giant public murals and intimate, decorative arts. Production is simply a matter of laying varying colours and shapes next to each other over and over till they come to represent a pattern or a picture, a whole. As such, mosaic art lends itself beautifully to metaphor: WE are all the tiny, varied, broken pieces it takes to come together and build a COMMUNITY. Our experiences (good and bad!) are the wild, sparkling, tesserae it takes to pattern a life. When we pick up the fragmented chunks of our broken hearts and lay them next to the joys and the dramas, we curate something entirely new; everyday we are making Art simply by choosing to live. Join me on a ten-ish mile tour to appreciate some of the fanciful tile art sprinkled around Portland. We’ll also gander at some fine examples of Mosaic’s translucent cousin, Stained Glass. AND THEN join TOGETHER as we attempt to create a collaborative mosaic of our own at the end spot! This is going to work exactly as well as it can - in much the same way that the community of Portland is exactly what we make of it. For this, I have a simple, silly ask: bring along a colourful ceramic item (or glass! Or stone!). This can be a cursed piece of pottery, or that mug you broke in 2021 and never learned how to kintsugi back together… or something you found in a free pile yesterday and magpied even though you didn’t have a plan for it quite yet. I'll bring a board, some tools, cement, and a vague plan. If it works, I'll install this work at a later date at a friend's property on a bikeway, and Future You can bike by and point out to your friends how this one time, on this one ride, you made Art with a bunch of (former) strangers and you should probably do that more often…

@LadyMercer

We’ll be riding from Beaverton Central up over the hill to Providence Park to watch Portland Thorns Football Club (women’s soccer!) as they take on the Orlando Pride. It is also a night in the stadium to celebrate longtime Thorns and U.S. Women’s National Team legend Meghan Klingenberg. All are welcome, but we note that the route does have some non-trivial climbing. We can do it together! If you don’t want to try the climb, you could take MAX to the Zoo station and meet us at the top of the hill (at approx. ~4:45), but be aware that MAX trains can get pretty crowded before and after Thorns matches. There is ample bike parking that gets set up at the stadium on match days. Want to join us? Come ride just for the fun of it. A ticket is required for entry to the match; it is not included with the ride, but if you’d like to sit with us to watch the match, we’ll be in the open seating General Attendance (GA) section. It’s a relatively inexpensive ticket.

Ride Westside

Roll to the races with us! 🚲 Join Portland Design Works, The Athletic Community and Cycle Oregon on Saturday, August 15 for a ride to the Portland Criterium. We will gather at the Salmon Street Springs fountain, ride a leisurely loop around the waterfront to the North Park Blocks, where we will ride the car-free Portland Criterium course for half an hour. After our laps, stick around to grab a spot on the barriers and watch the elite racers fly by in one of the most exciting spectator events of the summer. Bring the whole family and don't miss your chance to ride on the Portland Criterium course for free!

Back for its 16th year, Get Lost! is a Pedalpalooza Bike Ride led entirely by chance. Dice are rolled to determine how many blocks to ride, and which direction to turn once we get there (odd total = R, even =L). In the 16+ years we’ve had kid units but have never had a Family Friendly edition - that changes now with the 1st Family Edition ride in Ladd’s Addition. We ride until we find a natural end point. Feel free to bail whenever you wanna go somewhere else. You never know what to expect. Since we won't be taking designated bike routes riders should be pretty comfortable in semi-hairy conditions, but dangerous or illegal routes will not be traveled. Probably not a loop, but that's what we said the first year, and we (eerily) ended up in the exact place we started! Read about that year's ride here: http://bit.ly/2qY2TmQ

On this ride we'll learn a basic samba no pé step--the dance of Brazilian Carnaval--and ride to the free Bloco Alegria concert in Sellwood Park. Bring samba music and Rio vibes. Dance along to a 2 hour set featuring music and dancers from one of Portland's premier samba bands! No partner necessary; samba no pé is not a partner dance. Bring food/drinks, comfortable footwear, a blanket or low chair to sit on during dance breaks and bike lights for the ride back if you're staying for the entire concert. Ride is a loop, but you're welcome to leave early at any time. 7-8 mile round trip mostly flat with a couple of hills. Mostly on bike paths and neighborhood greenways, but includes brief sections on Johnson Creek Blvd and on sidewalk/gravel. Sellwood Park has dirt paths. Bring a lock and lock your bike to itself if no rack space is available. Corking is not to be expected, but it will be a no-drop ride with regrouping after intersections and hills if the group gets split up. You are responsible for your own safety and the ride leader assumes no liability. Supervised kids who can keep up with casually paced adults are OK. We follow the Shift Code of Conduct. Check Shift Calendar the day of the event as Portland Parks and Rec may cancel concerts in cases of severe heat or weather.

Bring Your Own Bubbles, pickles are on us. Let's roll through the neighborhood spreading whimsy and joy. This ride will have a designated leader and sweeper (person at the back of the group), and maintain a pace of 8-miles/hour. All Bodies on Bikes believes all bodies are good bodies, all bikes are good bikes, and all rides deserve to be celebrated (especially ones with bubbles and pickles).

Ready to be trashy? From the people who brought you Toxic: The Ride two years ago, it's a ride that's litter-ally saving the earth. This is a fun spin around Portland. We'll bike and hear hot facts about Oregon's recycling and refuse infrastructure from queer dumpster icon Alex B. Where can you toss your berry baskets? Why can't you crush cans? Can humans go in compost bins?

If you have, now you can do it in costume ! if you know Chris Guillebeau, would you please let him know he inspired me ! Need a costume?

Do you: Love to bike? Hate authoritarianism? Believe music has an important place in movements for social justice? Welcome to the Singing Resistance Ride! We will ride to sites in Northeast Portland impacted by ICE violence and intimidation, and to sites that embody the way Portlanders are protecting one another. At each stop, we'll learn a bit about why the location is significant, and we will teach/learn/sing songs from the national Singing Resistance movement. 5:30: Meet! Greet! Maybe eat! And of course SING! (If you want to make this your dinner stop, we recommend pre ordering takeout to enjoy outside amongst your fellow riders.) 6:30 Roll out to our next stop. This will be a neighborhood ride of community building, with a route that is inviting to bicyclists of all levels of experience, and songs that are easy to learn by ear. Singing Resistance is a national movement started in Minnesota to protect and care for our communities in the face of rising authoritarianism. We sing publicly in the streets—to connect to one another, build strength and solidarity, protect our neighbors, and voice our dissent. Learn more about Singing Resistance here: https://tinyurl.com/toolkitSR We will also share information on how to join a Singing Resistance pod here in Portland. Ride leaders: Jocelyn Oberon and Lois with the Cat Ears

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.

Are you new to town, or new to gravel biking? Want to explore one of the best off-road paths in the city? Then join our New to Portland Intro to Gravel ride on Tuesday, August 18 from 5-8 p.m.! The ride: We will gather at Cyclepath PDX (2714 NW Thurman St) at 5:00 p.m. and head out promptly at 5:30 p.m. Cyclepath PDX will provide a shuttle to the top of the Leif Erikson trail. The group will ride back to the shop on Thurman Street along Leif Erikson trail. Leif Erikson is a double-track gravel roadbed open to bikes but not cars. The total length of the ride will be 11.5 miles. Who this is for: Everyone! The ride is designed with beginners in mind, so no off-road experience is necessary. This is a great place to see what the off-road hype is all about and make some friends all while enjoying a pleasant, light ride. The gear: Please come prepared with an off-road ready bike in safe, working condition. This means the tires are a little wider (we recommend a minimum of 32mm wide), ideally you've got some gears, and suspension (shocks) are useful but not required. Be sure to bring a helmet, water bottle, snacks, fanny pack or bike bag, and weather-specific clothing that can get sweaty. The plan: We will gather at Cyclepath West bike shop at 5 p.m. and head out on the shuttle by 5:30 p.m. Afterwards, join us for a hang session including light snacks and good company. RSVP: This event is free but space is limited. RSVP here to join the ride: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/new-to-portland-ride-intro-to-gravel-tickets-1989265982102?aff=oddtdtcreator Please promptly cancel if it turns out that you cannot attend so we can make sure someone else can grab your spot.

This band has been my personal go to band during the happiest times and darkest times of my life. Their absurdity and pathos and deep, deep musical humor has shaped me as a person. Some people know this band for their Rock n Roll, their kids music, their TV themes, their Polka, their featuring in a mass of movies…..if you’re not familiar you can expect a journey of fun and understanding of that human condition. This is an exceptionally family and sensitive person friendly ride….in their decades of music and 20 or so albums there isn’t a single curse word or female derogatory term. At this point NakedHearts has lead around 350-400+ rides and been involved in supporting at least 100 others, that’s to say you’d think we’d be ok with being vulnerable but this band who I love hardly ever shows up on any playlist because it’s too personal, too close to my own heart and I’ve been too shy. But given the realization of how small I’ve made myself due to ongoing harassment I’ve decided to rip the band aid off. Haters are gonna hate. We practice consent and non-violence on all our rides. If you’re banned on other rides or from listing a ride you’re banned here too. If you can’t respect others body autonomy please don’t attend.

Nomad’s monthly ride is evolving. What started as an e-bike ride is becoming an all-bikes-welcome community ride, starting from our new waterfront Adaptive BIKETOWN location. E-bikes are still very much welcome, but this ride is about accessible, joyful, low-pressure cycling for everybody: e-bikes, adaptive bikes, trikes, handcycles, cargo bikes, analog bikes, and anyone who wants to ride at a pace that allows for chatting with fellow cyclists and taking in the beauty of Portland. We ride at a social pace, we stay together, and nobody gets left behind. This isn’t a race, a training ride, or a contest of fitness. These rides are about building the kind of bike culture we want to see more of: welcoming, accessible, practical, joyful, and connected. Whether you ride every day or haven’t joined a group ride before, you are welcome here! All Wheels Welcome rides will be loops that start and end at the Adaptive Biketown Location just north of OMSI along the Eastbank Esplande path - look for the big red shed with Biketown parking in front. The ride will be a relaxed pace with minimal elevation but when we do encounter slight inclines, we will slow down enough to stay together as a group. We'll pass by interesting sights and maybe make a stop or two to take in the sights!

:: Original Date Wed 7/23 rescheduled due to AQI forecast and heat :: Spread your wings and prepare to bike - you will become a butterfly! It's not just a sweet sweet fantasy baby, we're celebrating Mariah on this leisure-paced ride (we'll try not to get OOC). Route Map link below: Expect an ~1.5 hr joy ride of ~9 miles, with a dance break stop at the 3 mile mark in the middle to shake it off at the Salmon Street Springs Fountain and enjoy refreshments (bring your own - there is no store stop.) * We will be taking some major streets - this ride is NOT a loop. PLEASE BRING WATER / BEVERAGES! It may be a warm one, so come prepared with hydration. Bring a bandana to soak with water for your neck. No store stops - just a bathroom break; so be sure to bring all the water, sunscreen, and snacks you’ll want. ** This is not a sober ride, but we ask folks to imbibe responsibly for the safety of everyone. ** This ride will have an open arms policy: no rider left behind, and we aim to provide a safer space for all folks. Got a big speaker? Bring it! How else can we get you feeling emotions? (higher than the heavens above.) We'll be sporting a large speaker, but we encourage everyone to bring their own music box so we can bounce to Mariah's incredible voice. (Link to a playlist below.) Not a fan of Spotify, but the service does offer a convenient way to link our speakers in a "Jam." I'll be utilizing this feature to link speakers if folks would like to. Not syncing with the Jam? All I ask is that you limit the music to Mariah Carey only, and that you turn down your music when it conflicts with a louder speaker (you can turn it back up when it doesn't.) Join us - we belong together! BANNED RIDERS: If you are banned from any rides, you are also banned from this ride. This ride will be a safer space for queer and bipoc folks with a zero tolerance policy for non-consent, discrimination, or phobic behavior. Never record others or take pictures without a person's verbal consent (no is a complete answer.) Smart glasses (Meta/Google/Whatever) are not allowed on this ride.
