"Do you expect me to walk?" "No, Mr Bond, I expect you to ride!" On the anniversary of Roger Moore's first foray as the legendary British agent James Bond in Live and Let Die, on special orders from M we will jump on our Q-issued two-wheelers and in a race against time take to the streets to defy the villains and win the day! We'll be listening to a selection of Bond theme tunes, including ones that were rejected by artists such as Muse, Blondie, Pulp, The Pet Shop Boys and even Ace of Base! Show up at (00)7pm to hear them all, but we'll be there playing Bond-esque tunes from 6.45pm. Choose an apt Bond girl name and put on your most glamorous evening gown, become Scaramanga, Le Chiffre or Blofeld (fluffy white cats welcome) or if you plan on being the main man himself maybe go 'full Bond' with a wetsuit underneath a tuxedo. This ride will leave you shaken and stirred - and that's not just down to the ubiquitous potholes that form the majority of the city's paved areas. This ride adheres to the Shift Code of Conduct; respect, consent and mellowness are a given on this calm, fun, welcoming and safe ride. The intent is for this ride to be a small old-school one where we all feel comfortable so please read the following carefully: * Leave your tracking device at home (no photos/videos): This is meant as an experiential ride where we're enjoying being in the moment. Think 007 living moment to moment and not stepping out of the now to take selfies or videos. 007 doesn't need 'likes', he gets all the rushes he needs from saving the world! * No creepiness: This is a female-led fun ride by a movie buff who expects those attending to adopt the manners becoming of a screen hero, not the disturbing demeanor of a Bond villain. The ride is female and child-friendly, so do behave accordingly. * This is a sober and drug-free ride. Bring your shaken not stirred martini if you like, but for the sake of the comfort and safety of other riders please make it a non-alcoholic version. * If you want to listen to anything else apart from the Bond theme tunes played by the ride leader, this isn't the ride for you. It's frustrating for other riders to have random beats rolling past them when they're trying to listen to Shirley Bassey belt out a tune. * Two-wheelers only: This ride can only accommodate bicycles (trailers ok); not skates, rollerblades, skateboards or onewheels. Meet at 3303 S Bond Ave, Portland OR 97232 by the base of the aerial tram (hopefully Jaws won't be there chewing through the cables). Meet at (00)7.00pm, ride at 7.30pm promptly. There will be a brief mid-ride store stop. There will be a further stop for a Bond quiz. This will be a no-drop ride, once we've set off we won't ride off into the sunset without you! Ride will end at a special location in inner SE.
