Meet at 7pm. Trivia starts at 7:15pm.
8:30 PM
Educational ride, taught by a bicycling traffic instructor. I’ll assign you to trivia teams, and quiz you on bicycle safety. If we have a small group (5 people or less), we'll do all the trivia at the starting location. If we have a larger group, we’ll ride for short periods, and stop in various parks to do trivia questions, ending in the inner east side. You’ll leave this ride knowing how to recognize and avoid the top cause of bicycle crash (the right hook), and bicycle fatality (unsafe passing), as both a cyclist and a driver. It’ll help your trivia team if you read your Drivers Manual in preparation: https://www.oregon.gov/odot/forms/dmv/37.pdf It'll help if you review bike safety at: https://portlandbicycleschool.com/driving-around-bicycles/ This is a slow ride, paced for people learning to bicycle, and families with children. No one will be left behind. We’ll take bike lanes and greenways, to minimize interactions with drivers. Because Portland’s bicycle network is incomplete, there may be short, necessary portions of sharing larger roads, and we’ll stay together as a group for safety. This is a BikeLoud event. Bikeloud is Portland’s volunteer bike advocacy organization.
