Families for Safe Streets

Hello Ladies! Would you like to learn how to fix a flat tire on your bicycle? I'd love to teach you. Trek Slabtown is opening their space for us so we have a nice roomy bikey indoor spot. Please note: this is for ladies* only (*trans ladies this means you too!). No dudes, no e-bikes**, no offense (**I am not equipped to teach any e-bike maintenance) Afterwards, we'll head out for a short ride into Forest Park together (see separate posting).

We are here to call out the normalizing of traffic violence. Traffic fatalities are not accidents, they are preventable deaths of our friends, neighbors, and family members. This year Portland will join a record number of U.S. communities urging action to address the nation’s historic – and preventable – roadway safety crisis. Our event is meant to acknowledge the devastating impacts of road violence on victims, surviving family members, friends, emergency responders, healthcare providers, law enforcement officers, and so many others. Join Families for Safe Streets, Oregon Walks, BikeLoud, elected officials, and transportation leaders to demand funding for safe streets. BikeLoud is hosting several rides to the event. Check the shift calendar for rides to this event from your neighborhood.

Families for Safe Streets

This monthly ride is friendly to beginners and experienced lady* riders alike (* trans-ladies this means you too!). Lady-powered bikes only - no dudes, no e-bikes**, no offense. (** due to the speed and battery requirements of e-bikes, they are not a good fit for this ride). Special November ride! I'll be teaching flat repair to ladies from 10:30 am - 12pm at the Trek store in Slabtown (see separate posting). After the flat clinic, we'll ride from Trek Slabtown into the gorgeous (unpaved) Forest Park for a 13 mile loop. Pace 8-10mph, slower on hillz!
