Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, riding every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic party-paced “rolling dive bar” of a ride for newcomers and regulars alike. Most rides will feature park and store stops, but come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. New leadership, same positive vibes. While you might expect some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct, and if you’re banned from any Shift rides, TNR isn’t for you. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. Riders should practice consent, accountability, respect, and de-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements at 7:30. ✨Be an Empowered Bystander✨ See something off? Step up in a way that feels right for you: 🗣️ Direct: If it's safe, say *That's Not Right* for TNR. 🎭 Distract: Change the vibe and give them an out 🙋🏽 Delegate: Get help from a ride leader or trusted friend ⏳ Delay: Check in with the person afterwards 📝 Document: Write down what happened

Thursday Night Ride

⛲️ If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to get involved, come early and ask for the ride leader—we’ll see you at the fountain!

During the ride, we will take short breaks to highlight and discuss the amazing and not-so-great infrastructure we are biking through.

Trying to reduce emissions? Can't afford a $100 parking pass? Just like bike? Let's ride to Pickathon! This will be a party pace ride trying to beat the heat. The goal is to meet at OMSI at 7am, roll out at 7:30am, and get to Pendarvis farm by 8:30ish (front gate opens at 9am). Fair warning we *will* stop for ripe blackberries. This is a no-drop ride, but this is also an unsupported ride. We will have a little hand pump, maybe a hex key set, and that's about it. Bring a spare tube, patch kit, whatever you'll need to get yourself to and from Happy Valley. And a good attitude! Family friendly, but not a strictly sober ride, please consume responsibly. Banned riders are banned here. Assholes will be dropped.

We meet at a different park in Portland every Saturday all year morning at about 9 to talk about home repair, travel plans, obscure board games, insects, etymology and sometimes bikes. Coffee Outside is often a meeting or starting point for adventures, day rides, group food cart rides or other outings. Bring a means to make coffee or some sort of coffee-adjacent beverage, or not. Instant chai? Perfect. A canned coffee beverage from the bodega? Legit. A special small batch blend of beans roasted in your neighborhood roastery that you measure by weight (portable scale, naturally) hand-grind in your titanium grinder before making a slow pour-over using hand-made paper filters and perfect temperature water? Sure, go for it. Baked goods are always appreciated but not at all required. Uniform? Nope. Fancy bike? Nope. Racing or ultra bikepacking chops? Nope. We enthusiastically welcome new faces and have no barrier to entry other than being your authentic self and leaving any bad/aggro attitudes at home. We post the location every Thursday on the PDX Coffee Outside website, which our friend Chris updates, and our Instagram account.

Examples: Shelter, Minor Threat, Shield, Earth Crisis, Will Haven, Abhinanda, and so many more. *family friendly ride, but the music will be loud and may have explicit lyrics.

Dress to celebrate all things Ali: think big hair, trucker hats, fanny packs, sequined bras, rompers, big earrings, Chappel Roan, big fun prints, hot dogs, etc. etc. Anything fun and wild that makes you happy! The ride will wind through the city making stops for hot dogs, dancing, ice cream, and perhaps a quick dip in the Willamette for the daring. Ride will start at Laurelhurst park (meet by the restrooms; look for the group!). We'll ride across the Tillicum bridge to the west side waterfront area and wind our way back, ending at the rainbow road (28th and Ankeny). All are welcome! Don't know Ali? Doesn't matter. All you need to know is that she's fabulous, fun, (almost) forty and throwing herself a wedding rager because she doesn't need a partner to have a rad party. Join us! *hint: not an actual bachelorette, please no "traditional" bachelorette items/apparel

The link at the bottom takes you too a video Jack Coleman (videographer) made from the last Opera ride. First: Do you need to like Opera? Not at all. If you’re open to music transforming the way a ride feels and how our city looks you’re in for a treat. What can you expect? Well, Opera. A carefully curated playlist. Moments of high drama and thrilling exaltation. Periods of such serenity as voices and music cascade around the city canyons consuming us in beauty and infrequently heard tones. The first time we held this ride (Amy ‘joy’ and Moorland) had no idea how profound a beautiful experience it would be or the depth of that beauty. Also, the playlist is interspersed with dialogue from the movie Casablanca just to give an underlying tonal theme. Route: We’re going to be rolling through city canyons so the acoustics reverberate. There will be a store stop for refreshments and while there the music will change to Rock Operas. The pace will be social and slow. Rebellion and punk shows in many forms, ask around about this insane ride and the previous years mischief! We troll hard!!! CHAOS!!!!!!!!!!!! Safety: As with all our rides, we practice consent and we practice non violence. You’re invited to come as you are and be who you are.

You know how whenever you cross one of those cool digital cyclist tracking signs at each entrance to the Tilikum Crossing, the number ticks up by one? That's the dopamine we want, so we're going to cross the bridge over and over again just to Watch Number Go Up. Go until you don't want to anymore.

A bike ride that pays homage to the 1960s television show by going to the site of a desert island in SE Portland. Yes, there is a 2.5 acre island completely surrounded by water in SE Portland. This island was once private property with housing, but is now public land that is being restored to its natural state. Gilligan’s Island seems especially appropriate for Pedalpalooza, as two dozen of the 98 series episodes featured pedal-powered inventions of one sort or another. This assortment of devices includes such things as a washing machine, a cooling fan, a sewing machine, a diamond-bladed saw, an air pump, a water wheel, and even a pedal-powered dental drill to replace tooth fillings. The picture shows a four-person pedal transmitter powered by Gilligan, Ginger, Mary Ann, and the Skipper to generate enough electricity for the Professor to send a signal into outer space. The desert island we ride to dates back to the 1930s when the WPA (Works Progress Administration) attempted to tame Johnson Creek by channeling the water flow. The project was a failure, making flooding even worse, so the city has been gradually reversing it in recent years. The bridge out to the island will be removed at some point, and the island itself may cease to exist if the channel separating it is removed. The ultimate goal is to reduce flooding and provide the area with a green space that will be a community amenity. Come on the ride dressed as one of the seven stranded castaways if you like. Other options include any of the roughy three dozen visitors to Gilligan’s Island. Somehow these visitors always got off the island without helping the castaways escape. The bike ride to the desert island is four miles, followed by a food cart stop on the route back to Clinton Park. Total distance for the completely-flat loop is eight miles. Including the food cart stop this ride should amount to a Three Hour Tour.

Join us at Irving Park to ride over to Kidical Mass! -----------From Kidical Mass posting-------------- Beat the heat by riding to fountains and splash pads with other kids and families as part of Kidical Mass PDX! We will ride from Jamison Square in NW on this free, family-friendly, kid-paced bike ride. We’ll start at the Jamison Square fountain at 1pm, and ride around central Portland to 3 other fountains where kids and grown-ups can splash around. August 3rd it often the warmest day of the year, so this will be a great time to beat the heat by celebrating our downtown interactive fountains. Meet at 1:15pm, ride at 1:30pm. The ride is a loop. It's just one mile to the second fountain at Director Park and the next two are each a half mile apart on the waterfront, and then it is 1.5 miles back to the start for a total loop of 3.5 miles, so it is suitable for most young bike riders who can pedal their own bike without training wheels. Bring swimwear, sunscreen and water! We should be back around 4 pm. We will ride at a slow pace for little pedalers and parents on cargo bikes. Kids should wear a helmet, be able to balance and pedal in a straight line, start and stop. Cargo bikes, tandems, trailers and tag-a-longs are great for kids who haven’t learned to pedal. Adult corkers are welcome to join as a traffic safety superheroes. We’ll ride together as a group, no matter the weather, because kids are traffic too!

RIDE #6: MLK JR. BLVD Woodlawn City Park to Oregon Convention Center, no pause - 3.4 miles, no loop. Our city is lacerated by multi-lane highways and stroads that are hostile to human life and subservient to mass automobility. These rides aim to prefigure what these wretched roadways should become -- long, straight, safe courses for human-powered transit! We claim these roads for bicycling! These rides will take the entire rightmost travel lane, and potentially more, depending on size -- the more people show up to ride together, the less individual bravery any one person needs to bring. Due to the current unsafety of these roads, these rides are not particularly recommended for younger children. The goal is to consistently move at ~12 mph, though we'll maintain whatever pace we need to stay together. The ride leader is an experienced road rider and will ride in the back as caboose/sweep with a brightly visible trailer. Snacks, waters, first aid kit, and bike tools will be on hand. We will follow road laws, but will prioritize staying together as a group, so corking would be welcome if the group size justifies it. This is a series of six rides on "unfriendly" roads -- demanding by action that no city streets should be unfriendly to people outside of cars! June 29, 3:00pm - 11th/12th-Milwaukie July 6, 5:00pm - Cesar Chavez July 12, 11:00am - Sandy July 20, 2:00pm - 82nd July 27, 10:00am - Powell August 3, 1:00pm - MLK Jr.

Ride your heavy ass bike up a steep ass hill. The Heavy Bike Hill Climb is back for its 13th running. Bikes must weigh 40+lbs. Adding snack and beverage weight is encouraged, but it must be on the bike to count. We'll start weighing in at Jamison Square at 4pm and ride up to the Pittock Mansion around 4:30pm where we'll enjoy some snacks with a view. For the hardy, there will be a bonus hill after the Mansion! This is not a race.

The Route

We’re happy to be collaborating with The April Fools again (see their insta). They organized The Clown March back in April and had a couple of hundred clowns doing a street take over. This Clown Ride is going to leaving/returning from Laurelhurst Park where there’s a monthly Clown Picnic as well as HeartBeat Silent Disco. This is likely to be an incredible day, family friendly and healing in its mirth and gleefulness. Tall bikes, freak bikes, costumes and wackiness all welcomed. (The April Fools wanted to do a Clown ride and we were all a little sad Dingo the clown wasn’t leading this year having done it for a long time. So we reached out and got their permission to host this ride and use the name ‘The Clown Ride’.) As with all our rides we practice consent and non-violence. If you’re a banned rider you’re banned here too.

Sunday, August 3rd 📍 Florida Room Meet at 6:00PM Roll out at 7:00 PM 🏁 Ends at a riverside beach Very chill party paced - one stop - roll around for a planned ~10 miles head to the beach to party A ride to celebrate Florida transplants & Southern cowboy culture The cowboy myth’s been hijacked by Wild West fantasy — but real cowboys were riding in the South long before Oregon ever saw a cow. Florida is the horse capital. Georgia had cowboys. The South is cowboy country. 🕶 Dress Code: Yeehaw meets y’allternative. Swamp sirens. Denim dykes. Gator cowboys. Sparkle and sweat encouraged. 🎶 Music: A tribute to Southern identity and the Black, queer, Florida, rural, swamp, porch, and gospel roots that shaped the vibe. The playlist combines Southern soul, queer cowboy ballads, Florida rap, swampy porch blues, honky-tonk heartbreak, and strip club bangers. Let’s get hot, horny, and full of whimsy. 💦🐊💖

Join us for a loop ride centering genital autonomy, community care, and justice for all bodies! This ride raises awareness about Hadachek v. Oregon, a groundbreaking legal effort to expand Oregon’s child genital cutting protections to all children, including children assigned male at birth, from harmful circumcision and intersex normalization surgeries. We ride in solidarity with those impacted by genital cutting, especially trans, intersex, and gender-diverse (TIGD) folks, who are affected in unique and often overlooked ways. Allies are welcome! This is a no-drop, casual-paced ride with space for connection, visibility, and resistance on wheels. ✨ Bring: Bring your intactivist, bodily autonomy, or any apparel for a cause and your radical self! 🚲 Route: The route is a loop around North Portland through Peninsula Crossing Trail and by many parks! 🛑 Meeting & Ending location: McCoy Park, 4677 N Trenton St, Portland, OR 97203 🚉 Transit: N Trenton & Newman, Stop ID: 12727 ♿ Accessibility: Restrooms along route, and meeting location. Meeting Location is covered. Minimal hills. 💬 Join our Discords at https://autonomycollective.org/groups.html or ask Allie@AutonomyCollective.org for updates, and questions!

We're here to glitter and glow, and we're going to ride our bikes like we mean it! Wear your sparkle-shinery-finest: sequins, sparkles, glitter and whatever you got in your closet that glimmers and shimmers! There shall be photoshoot stops at sparkly landmarks, complete with props! As this is very much a maximalist ride, additional props are ever so welcome and encouraged! We'll ride a 3–8-mile loop at a leisurely paced no-drop ride. We follow the Shift Code of Conduct, so expect everyone to take care of themselves and other riders! We'll have a sparkle-themed playlist posted closer to the date to share via Spotify Jam; bring your speakers!

Yeehaw it’s my fuckin' 31st birthday 🤗 join me in the kickoff to make this year a GREAT one ❤️ let’s eat pizza 🍕 then head to Duckworth to go swimmin at the docks 🦆 + 10 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 + 10 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 + 10 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 + 1 🎈

Our instagram is nakedHeartspdx so you can see how we ride. Weekly themed rides. Different ride leaders each week, but you can expect the ride to be social paced (8ish mph), no-drop, safe and welcoming, store stop with safe clean bathroom access and the ride is always a loop. We practice consent and non-violence specially with car interactions, what one ride does affects how all rides get treated. The Mellow Mondays are a space for (new) ride leaders to try out ideas in a very supported environment. You’ll often see Mondays rides appearing again during the warmer riding season. We follow the shift code of conduct and expect everyone to be respectful of themselves and others around them. This is so we can actually relax and have fun and connect with each other in a softer space. This isn’t a sober ride but we ask for moderation to keep the atmosphere relaxed. We recommend Abraham Fixes bikes in N Williams and NomadCycles (e-bike specialist) for repairs/sales and parts. Our friends over at RideSafePDX host regular ride and we’ recommend those as a pleasant warm group to ride with.

Quick how to lead a ride tutorial before Mellow Mondays ride. Things we’ll cover, Theme creation, Creating the atmosphere you want, Sourcing support, Route planning, Speed, What if’s…… Then QnA. This is meant as a conversation opener and an opportunity to move towards leading your own rides. This will be lead by Moorland with occasional support. Brief Bio: NakedHearts has lead around 350 ish rides, with 100 ish different ride leaders, we’ve worked with local schools, government agencies, festivals, DJ’s, Bands, venues, parades, artist groups of all kinds and supported 100 ish other rides. So we have a little experience. But the all the experience just teaches caring about the ride and riders is what matters, and everything flows from there. For most people that comes naturally. Kiro (who’s only 8 years old) is considered the best ride leader and he cares about the ride and riders and having fun and that’s what makes him the best because that’s his focus. The mechanics of leading and organizing can seem daunting but it’s within reach of all of us.

Mellow Monday is being led by Nichole (me) this week and I have a specific ride that I wanted to give more information about :) We are visiting the giraffe house and the owner will give us a short tour of the yard when we arrive. If you ever want to tour the inside you can reach out via his website: https://www.thegiraffehouse.org/visit. We will also be visiting PDX Dinorama on our way back so if you have any dinos/mugs/pens/pencils/erasers to exchange! Because we will be having such a specific visit we will be leaving promptly at 730. We will be starting the pre ride speech before then and leaving on time because I don't want us to be a super late night imposition on our neighbor who is taking their time to show us around a neighborhood gem. We will be making our store stop early at the Safeway on Hawthorne so please meet us there if you are not able to get to Abernethy on time. The ride is 11 miles and we are doing a good amount of uphill in to Montavilla, a little longer than the typical mellow monday but well have tons of fun!

At this point it’s pretty much official that the wonderful Benno Boy has ridden his last ride. Last Saturday the 28th of June Benno Boy hit the Godzilla,King Kong and Gigantor of Potholes at SE 39th and Stark on the way to @biteonbelmont. After 22755 Miles and 8 wonderful years of Riding all over Portland Oregon, nearly 1000+ Group Bike Rides and probably around 300-400 Ride Leads during Pedalpalooza and Afterpalooza plus probably 2000 rides to Portlands Food Carts his frame gave up the ghost. I’m very sad to say Goodbye to my trusty steed as he had become a huge part of who I am. There will be a memorial ride to say goodbye and to welcome his successor on Wednesday August 6th (Mini Version) and Saturday August 23rd (Full Version) Thank you to all the incredible bike mechanics for keeping him running since he was purchased from The eBike Store May 4th 2017 you are heroes of the highest order. FYI - many of Benno Boys parts will live on in his successor. Thank you #bennoboy you will be missed. Benno Boys official last Bike Summer. Ride Lead was the #BonbRelay on Friday June 27th. FYI - what does this ride include? If you know me my rides are equal parts of the following: Getting Lost (Get Lost Rides) Cool Streets (Streets that are not straight) Coolness or Hidden Portland Rides (Lots of Murals, Artwork, Colored Houses and fun found things) Light Brigade (Fun lit up rides) And Finally Foodie and Family Friendly Rides On the Mini edition we'll stay inner city with some Coolness, Cool Streets some food and maybe a Mini Food Stop before taking a swim in the Willamette at the Duckworth Dock

Yarn bombing is a super punk and crafty way to take up space, claim public space as ours because it is ours, share a message, connect with community, and is also just fun to look at! On this ride we’ll visit some cool yarn bombed locations and end with BYO craft project time.

Thursday Night Ride is Portland’s longest-running weekly social ride, riding every Thursday night since 2015! Routes and ride leaders change weekly, but expect an energetic party-paced “rolling dive bar” of a ride for newcomers and regulars alike. Most rides will feature park and store stops, but come prepared to have fun and celebrate cycling together—other wheeled guests should respect the pace and space of cyclists. New leadership, same positive vibes. While you might expect some wheelies and other chaos, riders are expected to follow Shift’s Code of Conduct, and if you’re banned from any Shift rides, TNR isn’t for you. No complaints, just accountability—if your behavior makes others feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please leave the ride before the ride leaves you. Riders should practice consent, accountability, respect, and de-escalation at all times. Stay behind the ride leader and don’t forget to thank a corker! 📍 Salmon Street Springs, every Thursday, rain or shine. 🕖 Meet at 7:00, announcements at 7:30. ✨Be an Empowered Bystander✨ See something off? Step up in a way that feels right for you: 🗣️ Direct: If it's safe, say *That's Not Right* for TNR. 🎭 Distract: Change the vibe and give them an out 🙋🏽 Delegate: Get help from a ride leader or trusted friend ⏳ Delay: Check in with the person afterwards 📝 Document: Write down what happened

Find your bike Every Friday Night. We meet at Ladds circle, in the circle. If it is raining, head down to the covered area of Abernethy Elementary School. Ride slowly meets at 7 pm and departs roughly at 7:45/8ish pm. An honorary 3 minutes of Ladd laps (Ding Ding Ride/Ladd500) and then we send it. Sometimes we have guest ride leaders. Friday Night Rides are different every time. Sometimes we go to other rides happening around town during the summer. End of ride fires/good vibes/respect/no jerks/ We are a community.

Second annual ride to honor the late, great curmudgeon engineer with a heart of gold. This was a lot of fun last year, so we're doing it again! This year will have a different playlist, and were expanding our selections to include songs and bands Steve liked in addition to songs he worked on. This is a social-paced (~10 mph) 6 mile ride ending at Sellwood River Front Park geared toward adults. We'll plan to hang out and enjoy the park a bit after the ride, so feel free to bring treats to share.

We meet at a different park in Portland every Saturday all year morning at about 9 to talk about home repair, travel plans, obscure board games, insects, etymology and sometimes bikes. Coffee Outside is often a meeting or starting point for adventures, day rides, group food cart rides or other outings. Bring a means to make coffee or some sort of coffee-adjacent beverage, or not. Instant chai? Perfect. A canned coffee beverage from the bodega? Legit. A special small batch blend of beans roasted in your neighborhood roastery that you measure by weight (portable scale, naturally) hand-grind in your titanium grinder before making a slow pour-over using hand-made paper filters and perfect temperature water? Sure, go for it. Baked goods are always appreciated but not at all required. Uniform? Nope. Fancy bike? Nope. Racing or ultra bikepacking chops? Nope. We enthusiastically welcome new faces and have no barrier to entry other than being your authentic self and leaving any bad/aggro attitudes at home. We post the location every Thursday on the PDX Coffee Outside website, which our friend Chris updates, and our Instagram account.
