The NE/SE 50s Bikeway was recently completed providing a new North-South bike route mostly on 52nd and 53rd Avenues. This can be combined with the slightly older 80s Bikeway to form a 14-mile in-the-city loop entirely on neighborhood or bike-laned streets with no difficult road crossings. Since this is a Pedalpalooza event, feel free to come dressed for either the 1950s or the 1980s decade! The ride is predominantly flat, looping nicely around Mt. Tabor situated in the middle of the route.

This is my favorite ride in Portland to take friends upon, embarking from the NE region of Portland, and heading into the great unknown on my favorite meandering of bicycle routes. This route will follow the same path as last year if you already attended (If you want a mysterious night ride that does more riding than stopping, this is the ride for you!) Length: 21 miles Lights: Yes! Helmets Highly Recommended (We may/may not ride through Vancouver) Terrain: mostly flat, 1 very short steep hill. Beer?: If you'd like, NOT required. The route is a linear loop, bail options are limited.

Share-It Square was the first intersection repair in the world. It's also one of the only in Portland that changes it's image every year. This year's design was inspired by several themes important to the neighborhood over the past year. It was a turbulent year for many living near the square, with many people having near death illnesses or injuries, so this year's design is largely about regeneration, healing, and the way our lives weave together through it all.

Vinyl records are like bikes: both got supposedly obsoleted by something (cars, CDs) that turned out not to be better at all, and both are fighting back and gaining momentum. Let's take our outmoded vehicles and visit all the anachronistic purveyors of LPs, browse through the bins, and take home some sweet sounds for our hifis. Not a loop, bring a lock and some way to get your purchases home safely. Grab lunch anywhere along the route if you're hungry. We'll probably end at a bar.

Come help us repaint our intersection! Compass Junction, three berry-lined blocks from Cathedral Park, was first painted in 2009. Our Mariner's Mandala is a navigational aid, directing our gaze outward from the central compass to an Escher-like outer ring from which we see the Baltimore Woods Connectivity Corridor, the sparkling river that separates us from Forest Park, and the iconic green gothic arches of our beloved St. Johns Bridge.We are on the Edge of Everything, and the edge is where the action is.

We'll ride as long as people are interested
The geography and demographics of Portland are changing rapidly. With these changes come widening wealth inequality, dramatic increases in housing costs, increased traffic, and widespread feelings that city council is not doing enough to protect residents.Join me for a leisurely ride where I will talk about some of my ideas for protecting residents and increasing meaningful community involvement in policy and decision making. More importantly, I want to hear what you would like to see out of a city council candidate so we can build a platform together from grassroots.

The path way is WIDE and is mostly flat with only slight inclines. I believe the whole route is around 22 miles (11 in and then back). We can take it as it comes and see where people are at.It is forested and can be muddy, which is f-u-n!Recommended: camel back, extra tube, pump, helmet, snack, etc. (for after: towel, plastic bag, etc.).For more info visit Women's Mountain Biking Portland at Meetup.com

Join our urban ramble! Meet @ 4, we'll roll around 4:30. Bring your own picnic/drinks if you want. We'll also stop midway for a bit and at the end to enjoy some more nibbles/slurps. Each stop will provide an opportunity to buy more food/drink supplies if you need. It'll be a slow cruise through a bunch of the alleys clustered in the N/NE, avoiding the main streets as much as possible. We'll stick with the alleys that are very passable--so no mountain bikes required. The ride will casually wander about, allowing you to observe art on walls that you never knew existed, and magically transport yourself to parks within inner NE to relax. Note, this is NOT an alley CAT. Just an alley exploration. :) FB Event Page: http://on.fb.me/1Mcmy6S

We ride until we find a natural end point. Feel free to bail whenever you wanna go somewhere else. Back for its 6th year, Get Lost! is a 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). 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/eDaPZW Hey AMOS.

Inner eastside Portland is booming with large-scale multi-family construction that will help transform the Central Eastside Industrial Area and Lloyd into neighborhoods. We'll ride between some of these new developments, stopping to learn about bike-friendly amenities, and experience why a new bike/walk-only bridge between these two neighborhoods is high on the wishlist. The ride is a loop, no one is left behind, and we'll obey all rules of the road.

A ride of biblical proportions. Put on your holiest attire and ride with Jesus on a Bike. We're shooting a music video for youtube so that means you're consenting to be in the video by joining the ride. The song was composed by Lee Ellen Reed and Elona Trogub. It's a punk rock interpretation highlighting Jesus as a radical who wanted to bring down the corrupt systems he saw around him. More storytelling, less dogma! Appropriate for all ages. Contact us ahead of time if you have ideas, want to be part of the filming team, or anything else. DINNER PROVIDED! BRING PLATE AND UTENSIL Listen to the track --> https://soundcloud.com/cascadianmycelium/lee-ellen-reed-elona-jesus-on-a-bike

I love monkey puzzle trees! If you'd like to join me, I'm leading a ride, through NoPo, NE and perhaps SE to see some of these beautiful trees. This my third year leading this ride and it's really free form. I will share information with everyone, but I am not an expert, just an admirer. If we have an ambitious group that would like to see more the ride may go longer, but people can always peel off as we go. Hooray!

When we move our bodies, we realize our freedom. Dancing and bikes go hand in hand. Join us for this downtown dance party with a spiritual edge. This outdoor, mobile dance party will have us consciously uplifting public spaces, drawing community together, and inspiring collaborative action and joy.

This is a call for all unicorns, of all ages, in the City of Portland (and beyond) to gather together at our enchanted green patch: the greenery next to the tennis court at Colonel Summers Park. Not everyone will be able to see us, since we are magical beings, but we will be able to see each other! Unicorns barely touch the ground- some even say they merely skim it, so finding the trail of a unicorn is almost impossible! We will go on an adventure: to the top of candy mountain, and back down. Ride as bare as you dare or roll around in sparkles! The shimmery and more glittery, the better. Bike decorations highly encouraged. Meet at 2 to sparkle up, fly out at 2:15. Glitter, sidewalk chalk & dance jams provided!

Ride naked through the forest -- 10K gravel road bike ride on NW Leif Erickson Road. Forest Park is one of Portland' crown jewels. Many square miles of forested hillside, with a web of trails. Leif Erickson Drive is a relatively flat gravel road that runs for miles and miles through beautiful forest. Folks ride it on road bikes, but wider tires are more comfortable. Ride ends at the St. Johns Naked Ride. Cameras are discouraged.
