SUMMARY:Sensory Ride - Presented by Ride Safe PDX
CONTACT:Ride Safe PDX
DESCRIPTION:These rides are a space for those that would like to 
 participate in group rides\, but may have sensory challenges that can make
  it hard to participate\, or those that just prefer this type of 
 environment.\n\nLed by neurodivergent folx\, rides include a slow pace (6-
 8mph)\, lower traffic routes on neighborhood greenways\, quieter or no 
 music\, and conduct expectations around creating a more relaxed and 
 sensory friendly experience.\n\nThey will be held periodically throughout 
 the summer on Thursdays and likely always start at Unthank park going 
 forward. The specific route will be posted on the @ridesafepdx Instagram 
 account before the ride.\n\nThese will be no-drop rides\, always a loop\, 
 bathroom access at the start and store stops\, and always have the option 
 to pause the ride if anyone has needs.\n----\nExpectations:\n\nConsent is 
 required at all times. Ask before touching people or their 
 property.\n\nKeep the environment positive\, and be cognizant if your 
 behavior makes\, or may make others uncomfortable. \n\nWe will alternate 
 between music and no music. If we do have music\, it will always be softer
  music at a lower volume. No music/speakers at all outside of the ride 
 leader.\n\nKeep talking volume levels lower and consistent\, and avoid 
 sudden noises. Bell ringing should be reserved for alerting to issues (we 
 can talk/wave to people we pass)\, and don't use electronic sounds. We 
 will still use verbal bike safety cues.\n\nBe cognizant of scents and no 
 smoking or vaping at all while riding (even in the back)\, or in 
 noticeable proximity to the group at the start or on stops.\n\nPlease no 
 alcohol consumption during the ride.\n\nBe conscious of others and give as
  much space as possible. Always stay behind the ride leader. No racing\, 
 tricks\, swerving\, weaving in/out of the group\, etc.\n\nKeep bike lights
  solid on lowest brightness\, or off. No bright or flashing lights. 
 \n\nPeople can be as social as they choose to be\, or not at all. We will 
 have wrist bands for those that wish to not be approached by 
 others.\n\nAll shift code of conduct rules and bans also apply.\n----\nSee
